Origin Story

The Story Behind LayerLock

Trevor Tooke, our founder, graduated from high school in 2018 and from college in 2022. During his high school years, he experienced the fear and uncertainty brought on by lockdowns, active shooter drills, and the tragic rise in school shootings across the nation. Motivated by the urgent need for a better solution, Trevor developed LayerLock—a system designed to provide immediate threat response without exposing school staff to the daily risks and stress of carrying firearms.

LayerLock was created to give schools peace of mind and the tools they need to protect their classrooms from the unthinkable.

As subject matter experts in K-12 school security, we are always seeking solutions that meet the diverse needs of schools across the country. Layer Lock is one of those solutions that truly stands out.

We understand that each district — and even each state — approaches staff firearm policies differently. Some districts want to offer the option for select, trained staff to carry firearms, while others do not. For those that do, Layer Lock provides an outstanding, secure solution. It ensures that authorized staff can have immediate access to a firearm in a crisis, while preventing theft, misuse, or unauthorized access during the school day.

Layer Lock strikes the perfect balance between readiness and safety. It empowers schools that choose to offer armed protection while maintaining strict safeguards to protect students, staff, and the integrity of the weapon itself. It’s a solution that every school considering this option should evaluate.

We highly recommend Layer Lock for any district seeking a responsible, secure, and effective method to implement armed staff programs without compromising safety.
