Your questions, answered...
What about in emergencies?
Hold down the main button for around 10 seconds to use an emergency unlock. This can only be done twice per device, so use it wisely.
Why not just put my phone down instead?
With habit forming behaviours, willpower alone usually isn't enough. Pre-commitment has been proven as a much more effective strategy for self-control. By restricting temptation, the device prevents the failures of willpower.
Ever tried to use your phone less? It's much harder than it seems. But we made it easy. Simply put your phone in a box, and watch your screen time shrink.
Does my phone fit?
The internal dimensions of the box are around 17.2cm x 8.5cm x 1.6cm. This is enough space for almost all uncased phones, e.g. iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, you may have to remove your case for your phone to fit. We recommend you measure your phone before ordering to ensure it is compatible.
What charity do you work with?
We donate £1 from every order to Virtue Impact Partners who plant trees worldwide, specifically in Madagascar, Mozambique, Kenya, Ethiopia, Brazil, and others. Each order makes an impact, helping to reforest the planet and restore ecosystems.
Why not just use an app?
We know from experience, they are way too easy to get around, making them ineffective at creating any real impact on your phone usage. The Lockbox is a physical solution that is guaranteed to change the way you use your phone, once and for all.
What's the best way to use the device?
The Lockbox is a super versatile & convenient productivity tool - you could choose to detox from your phone for 48 hours, for 90 minute focus periods, or to relax before you go to bed, it's all up to you - The Lockbox is designed to be useful, no matter your unique lifestyle or phone needs.
What if I'm not completely satisfied with my purchase?
We truly think you'll love your purchase—but if for any reason it’s not quite what you expected, we’ve got you covered. Just get in touch with us, and we’ll be happy to arrange a refund or replacement. All we ask is that the product and its packaging are kept in their original condition. We’ll make it right, ASAP.
Where is The Virtus Project based?
We're located in Manchester, UK.
What if it breaks with my phone inside?
This is extremely unlikely but if it happens, it is possible to force open the lid with most tools, irreversibly damaging the box. Email us and we will replace the device as soon as possible.
Our Commitment
Buy One. Plant Two: for every Lockbox sold, we plant two trees.
Your order helps build better habits and support a healthier planet.
