About Genie-Lock

Who are we?

Based in Hampshire on the outskirts of Farnborough, the area is well known for its international air show, and was the home of the first powered flight in the UK. More importantly, the Royal Aeronautical Establishment gave the world the jet engine, the silicon chip and carbon fibre. To create the Genie-Lock we recruited some of the best local talent to make the product as good as it can be.

Now, Genie-Lock is honouring a lineage of entrepreneurs and inventors by bringing the world its next great asset! Starting as a small project that Karl worked on in the evenings, Genie-Lock has evolved into a fully functional product; so simple to use that you need only slide it into place!

It took many prototypes and stress testing to get the most efficient and durable design, and we couldn't be more proud of the final product.

The Genie-Lock Story

With a decade of experience as a Snap-on franchise owner Karl Arnold decided to address the issue that his clients raised with him time and time again - lost or stolen tools.

The Snap-on range is widely considered to be the gold standard when it comes to professional tools and that fact alone means they are more likely than most to be “borrowed” or stolen, so the need for a simple but reliable security solution was obvious.

So, Karl went to the drawing board. How do we achieve a sophisticated locking system, whilst ensuring that the design is so simple that you need only slide it into place? How do we ensure it doesn't interfere negatively with the locking system? And how do we make sure it remains hidden?

After countless hours of research and development, Genie-Lock was born. A solution for tool users designed by tool users.
