Our Story
Pragmasis started out in 2003 after a theft left us searching for better security - but nothing on the market met our needs. So we designed, made, and sold our own award-winning security products like the Torc anchor, Protector chains, Shed Shackle, and Anti-Pinch Pin.
Over the past 21 years we've supplied thousands of happy customers, from those looking for a single, simple and effective lock right up to supplying the UK Ministry of Defence. No matter what you want to secure, we supply peace of mind.
Quality, reliability, and customer service are our top priorities - always have been. Our products are designed, prototyped and tested at our UK headquarters and then subjected to some of the toughest independent tests by the likes of Sold Secure, in order to achieve certification.
We give straightforward explanations of our products' strengths and weaknesses so you can decide what works for you. We don't pretend every item is the best or resell random stuff just to make a quick buck. Profit isn't the main driver - we only sell what we truly believe in.
Our milestones
New beginning
Pragmasis launches
We started in 2003 with a clear mission: to produce the world's best motorcycle security products.
Over 21 years later that mission hasn't changed.
Pictured on the left is the prototype of our first ground anchor, the Torc Series I.
Revolutionary ground anchor
The Torc Series I is launched
Following a year of prototyping and in-house testing, our first Torc ground anchor went on sale. We called it the Torc Series I and it was Sold Secure approved a year later. The Torc Series III that you can buy today, traces its roots back to this original.
Chain reaction
Protector chains launched
We developed our range of Protector chains, to pair with our Torc ground anchors and Squire locks. The 16mm diameter was the first chain we sold, swiftly followed by the 10mm and 13mm diameters. The Protector 19mm followed-on a year later.
Pushing industry standards
Secured by Design approval
Over the years we have worked closely with independent security organisations to help push for better testing, standards and categories, to help the end consumer make an easier and better choice. In 2011 we were accredited by Secured by Design, the official police security initiative.
The best got better
Torc Series III
The best just got better! In June 2020 we launched the Series III Torc Mega and Torc Maxi ground anchors. Both the Torc Mega and the Torc Maxi feature a fully forged construction with 22mm thick forged D-Shackles and forged base plates.
