Saturday Night Live UK needed its first series kept completely under wraps — right up to broadcast. Here's how Lockabl's lockable phone pouches helped the production team at Television Centre protect every sketch, every surprise guest, and every moment of live magic.

When Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami and EJAE, the singing voices of HUNTR/X from Netflix's global phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters performed their hit single Golden at The BRIT Awards 2026, the organisers turned to Lockabl, working with ApplauseStore, to create a secure phone-free environment outside of Manchester’s Co-op Live arena. The result was one of the group’s most praised performances, with fans noting the rare atmosphere of a crowd fully present in the moment.

Last year, London’s nightlife scene was buzzing about a club night that turned the usual phone-obsessed party culture on its head. Founded by the creators of Secret Cinema, the now-legendary Lost proved that when people are fully present, magic happens - and Lockabl was right there supplying the secure phone pouches that made it all possible.

Channel 4’s “Swiped: The School That Banned Smartphones”, hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, explores the effects of smartphone use on Year 8 pupils at The Stanway School. Lockabl’s pouches offer a practical solution for managing phone use in schools effectively.

The introduction of lockable mobile phone pouches in schools is increasing pressure on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to implement a phone ban. Lockabl offers a practical solution with customisable pouches, providing security, convenience, and a distraction-free learning environment.
