About Relock Suspension
Built on Experience. Engineered for the Lighting Industry.
Suspension systems rarely steal the spotlight — until something goes wrong. When a project stalls because a component underdelivers, everyone feels it. RELOCK SUSPENSION was founded by people who've been on every side of that problem: operators, engineers, and builders with decades inside the lighting and suspension industry. We built the company we always wished existed.
Our Story
RELOCK SUSPENSION was built from the inside out — not on the sidelines, but inside the companies that design, manufacture, distribute, and install lighting suspension systems.
Our team brings together complementary experience from every corner of the industry: operational leadership inside one of North America's fastest-growing lighting suspension companies, over 20 years of hands-on cable suspension engineering, and an entrepreneurial track record spanning multiple industries and successful exits.
That background didn't just give us credentials. It gave us a clear view of where the industry was falling short — and what it would actually take to fix it.
