PC Locs was founded by Paul Symons and his business partner Craig Wright in 1998. Being a high school teacher, Paul realised that schools and other educational facilities were in need of physical security solutions for their IT assets, since computers, audio-visual equipment and other IT hardware were commonly the target for burglars.

Acting on his insight, Paul developed a prototype of a desktop computer lock-down system for one of the schools he taught at. Due to the success of this prototype and the market demand for desktop security products, Paul left teaching and developed an entire range of desktop locking devices, giving birth to the company PC Locs Pty Ltd.

PC Locs quickly became a well recognised brand name throughout the West Australian education system. With the increased use of notebook computers for teaching, the PC Locs product range was expanded to include secure and versatile laptop trolleys which provide teachers with a secure, flexible, convenient and practical way of working with entire banks of laptops in any part of the school they are needed in.

With PC Locs products being used in most West Australian schools, PC Locs focussed on its national expansion. As Sales and Marketing Manager, Paul's son James Symons created the PC Locs Accredited Reseller Program in 2005 to extend the company's reach and customer service in Australia's Eastern states.

With Paul continuing to be the main driver of product development and innovation, and with James at the helm of the company as CEO, PC Locs is poised to continue its rapid growth in Australia and explore overseas markets.
