We’ve spent over 20 years protecting ATMs from sophisticated attacks and fraud. We are taking that banking sector pedigree and applying it to the e-bikes, cargo bikes and longtails we ride every day. As a Dutch company, we instinctively understand bike-centric culture, so it’s a natural progression for us.
Leonard Heuker of Hoek, Managing Director of TMD Locks
Characterised by smart, electronic designs that combine uncompromising protection with effortless use, the TMD Locks product line will feature keyless access and integrated alarms as standard. By doing away with the traditional key cylinder, the brand has created an ART-2 certified range immune to conventional drilling and picking. Meanwhile, by removing the user friction of conventional hardware, TMD Locks shifts the bike lock from a cumbersome necessity into a seamless piece of technology riders actually want to use.

With our advanced proximity unlock technology, we're introducing a genuinely keyless solution via Bluetooth. There is absolutely no faff; your phone stays in your pocket, and it is just one press to unlock.
Marnix Heuker of Hoek, CTO of TMD Locks
Slated for release in the spring of 2026, the first product from the new brand will be a world premiere, the TMD Chain Lock. This is the first fully keyless chain lock with ART-2 certification and an integrated alarm. This launch will be followed shortly after by the anti angle grinder TMD U-Lock and the GPS-equipped TMD Ring Lock, which includes a plug-in chain.
The TMD Chain Lock will be available from April 2026 at retailers and on the TMD Locks website.
