Cinch Locks Made in USA
Proudly Hand-Built in the USA
Since it’s inception on Kickstarter and first deliveries in 2017, the Original Cinch and Hexband Cinch Locks have been designed and produced in the United States with components and assemblies made in ten states across the nation. It’s no simple task to produce the bands and complete the final lock assembly. Each cinch lock has 29 unique parts, custom-designed for these patented, lightweight locks. In addition, we’ve developed many new (and sometimes quirky) manufacturing processes to build our special design and ensure product quality.
Band Production
Making locking bands is a multi-step process consisting of several major operations from fiber-braiding to extrusion to forming the teeth to gluing in the band tip. Our band material travels from coast to coast to complete its journey before being assembled into a final lock.
Lock Assembly & Quality Assurance
After Cerakote® painting the lock cases with a robot and printing numbers on wheels, lock building is a focused series of manual operations with the many components. Every lock is meticulously assembled and 100% inspected to several functional and aesthetic specifications.
This “How It’s Made” video by Dan Cavallari from 2:03 to 5:19 does a pretty great job of showcasing the processes and nuances. Enjoy!
