 Product Description  

LedgeLocker, LEDGELOKRTM, is a floating shelf with a hidden compartment and locking mechanism that was developed in 2011 by Brian Dale White. LedgeLocker was conceived with the premise of helping to hide personal belongings in a floating shelf that fits the décor of the household. The LedgeLocker looks like an ordinary floating shelf, however it utilizes the space inside the frame as a secret compartment. The construction of the shelf is such that the compartment can be opened through a hinged construction. The product can blend in with the décor of the home furnishings and look like an elegant shelf until the hidden magnetic lock is activated. Once the lock is released, the user can simply push up on the bottom of the shelf frame and it will gently drop down, revealing the hidden space. The lock is only activated when the owner places the key over the exact location of the lock. In order to allow for a smooth opening of the compartment, the LedgeLocker incorporates pistons inside the product. LedgeLocker is manufactured and sold by Artech Design Inc. LedgeLocker is the original concealment shelf covered under US Patent 8726704.

The clever design of LedgeLocker makes the product useful is in many applications. The differences in each application can be addressed with a different insert designed to store specific items. Many users store firearms in the LedgeLocker because the product combines the locking action of a safe, while allowing the user to access the weapon quickly in the event of an emergency. Other users store documents, personal items, and jewelry. The applications are endless therefore, LedgeLocker can be utilized in virtually every room of the home.

 Company History  

In 2011, Brian White was working on a solution that would hide his firearms, but keep them readily available in an emergency. A gun safe was a good solution, but he felt that he needed something that would be easy to access, while keeping his firearms hidden in plain sight.

Brian White drew from his experience as a Cabinet Maker, and his past projects where his customers have asked for similar requirements. As a result, LedgeLocker was conceived. After numerous prototypes, the biggest obstacle remained to be the locking mechanism. He explored many commercially available locks, but they were not suitable to hold the loads expected from the shelf solution. Once again, Brian drew from his experience of customized cabinets and invented the LedgeLocker Lock. To date, every LedgeLocker manufactured is sold with a sturdy industrial strength magnetic locking mechanism designed, patented, and built in his own Artech Design shop. Each product is individually tested for ultimate quality and performance.
