Next level Security
We didn’t start in bike locks. For over 20 years, our team has engineered protection for high-value financial infrastructure worldwide, securing more than 400,000 ATMs against serious threats.
Now, we’re applying that same uncompromising expertise to something closer to home: your ride.
As eBikes become more advanced, more valuable and more design-led, traditional locks have failed to keep pace. For too long, security has been an afterthought - bolted on, passive, cumbersome and out of place.
Our philosophy is simple: security should match what it protects.
That’s why we create intelligent, keyless security systems with integrated alarms - designed not just to resist theft, but to actively deter it. Made to blend in and engineered to keep out.
"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."
— Leonard Heuker of Hoek, MD

The road to TMD Locks
2004
Foundation of TMD Security
Founded in 2004, with headquarters in The Netherlands, TMD Security now protects more than 400,000 ATMs and SSTs around the world from card fraud and explosive attacks.
Our customers include major banks and ATM deployers in EMEA, APAC and the Americas.
2021
Launch Access Management
In 2021, we combined hardware & software to create one keyless access management process with intelligent locks for all access points.
2023
Real research. Real change.
Before creating our locks, we listened. We surveyed over 500 e-bike owners, spoke with retailers across the Benelux, and engaged with key industry groups.
These conversations uncovered the real gaps in bike security today and shaped the smarter, more secure solutions of TMD Locks.
2024
Beginning of TMD Locks
Too often, e-bikes are left vulnerable because riders either don’t use a secondary lock or if they do, they’re relying on outdated locks designed for regular bikes a decade ago. Traditional solutions are either too cumbersome or simply not secure enough for the value and technology of today’s e-bikes.
That’s why we decided to set a new standard with TMD Locks.
2026
Launch TMD Chain Lock
For 20+ years, we’ve engineered protection for high-value financial infrastructure worldwide.
Today, we apply that expertise to innovative, intelligent security solutions built to actively prevent the growing challenge of bicycle theft.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a TMD Smart Lock secure?
Forgetting or losing your keys is finally a thing of the past.
Our smart locks feature a keyless design with no traditional keyhole, making them immune to conventional break-in methods. Common theft techniques are no longer effective; there is simply nothing to drill, pick, or pull.
By combining keyless Proximity Unlock technology with extremely rugged hardware, TMD Smart Locks are certified to both ART-2 and IP57 standards. This ensures our Smart Locks are officially recognized and approved by insurance providers.
How does the TMD Chain Lock work?
The TMD Chain Lock offers a true keyless experience using advanced Bluetooth Proximity Unlock technology. There is absolutely no faff: your smartphone stays in your pocket, and the lock automatically recognizes your unique digital ID as you approach. Simply press the button on the lock once to unlock and ride away.
For added security, the lock features a built-in 100dB alarm. You can easily arm the alarm via the TMD app or by double-pressing the lock button. Once activated, the alarm will trigger instantly if any unauthorized movement is detected, keeping your ride safe and sound.
Can I unlock without my phone?
Yes. Every TMD Lock features a manual override. Simply use the button on the lock to enter the unique security code you’ve set up in the app, ensuring you’re never locked out.
How long does the battery last?
A single charge keeps your lock powered for approximately 9 months under normal use. When it’s time to top up, you’ll be back to 100% in just 2 hours.
How loud is the alarm?
The alarm emits a sound of approximately 100 decibels. Enough to scare any thief away.
What can I do with the TMD Lock App?
The TMD Lock App gives you total control by allowing you to share digital access with friends and family instantly: no physical keys required. You can also monitor real-time activity logs to see exactly who used the lock and track its last known location to ensure it’s always where it should be.
