As part of the launch, Tenhold introduced its Suppressor Lock Head for the company’s weapon mounting system.

What to Know

  • Tenhold’s new systems are tailored for patrol vehicles from Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge, supporting both individual units and entire fleets.
  • The weapon mounting system includes a suppressor lock head designed to improve firearm retention and security inside patrol vehicles.
  • Feedback from frontline officers shaped the product development, emphasizing safety, accessibility, and durability in real-world scenarios.

ROGERS, Arkansas -- Tenhold , formerly known as Jotto Desk , announced the launch of a new line of vehicle outfitting systems for law enforcement and public safety agencies, including a new weapon mounting solution designed for suppressor-equipped firearms.

The company, which operates as a sub-brand of Kiefer Sage , said the updated systems are intended to improve officer safety, equipment accessibility, and in-vehicle organization for patrol and emergency response operations. The launch was announced April 14 from Rogers, Arkansas.

According to the company, Tenhold’s vehicle mounting systems are designed for patrol vehicles manufactured by Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge. The systems support both individual patrol units and full fleet deployments.

Company officials said the new product line was developed using feedback from frontline officers and public safety personnel. The systems are intended to reduce distractions inside patrol vehicles while improving access to mission-critical equipment during high-pressure incidents.

“Too often, businesses settle for the lowest cost and ‘good enough,’” said Justin Sparks, CEO of Kiefer Sage. “At Tenhold, we refuse to accept that standard. Every product we build is designed with the goal of helping first responders return home safely at the end of their shift. That is our responsibility, and it’s not one we take lightly.”

As part of the launch, Tenhold introduced its Suppressor Lock Head for the company’s weapon mounting system. According to the company, the system is engineered to secure suppressor-equipped firearms using a wider interface, reinforced locking plate, and upgraded lock head. The company said the design is intended to improve firearm retention and equipment security inside patrol vehicles.

The company also cited a field incident involving the Mississippi Highway Patrol as an example of the system’s durability.

“The Tenhold gun locks will keep your weapons safe,” said Trey French, director of fleet operations for the Mississippi Highway Patrol. “In the early hours of August 3, 2022, a perpetrator tried to break into a state trooper’s vehicle. They shot out the back window and targeted an AR-15 secured in the gun lock. Even after two shots from a 9 mm, the firearm didn’t budge. By the time the trooper arrived, the suspect had fled, and the weapon remained completely secure.”

According to the company, Tenhold currently supports public safety agencies in more than 25 states, with significant adoption across the Southeast and Southwest, including Texas and Mississippi. The company said its vehicle systems are intended to help agencies improve operational readiness and secure critical equipment in the field.
