LOCK is a vetted organization. That means everyone goes through the same vetting process. Just anyone cannot attend our events. LOCK takes privacy very seriously. We do not share personal identifying information with third parties. We also reserve the right to deny individuals that we feel may not be a good fit for LOCK. Safety is our primary concern. You should read the entire LOCK profile non Fetlife before you fill out the vetting form. There is information there that you will need to complete this process.
So you’d like to attend your first LOCK event?
The first step is to fill out the form below. while we would prefer attendees at LOCK events be fully vaccinated against Covid with at least one booster, we recognize that the risk of Covid has changed. We know that they don’t give out cards anymore. So, when you send your form, you may also email a picture of your Covid vaccination card (If you have one). If you do not have one, please say that in the appropriate section of the application. You should know that your card is seen ONLY by LOCK administrators and all the information on it is kept entirely private. Privacy is a cornerstone priority in the BDSM community. NOBODY but LOCK admins will be privy to any information sent in this form.
Step 2 – Vetting
After we receive your form, we will proceed with additional vetting. Part of how we begin to vet new people is through their Fetlife profile. We highly recommend filling out your About Me and putting up a picture that is not of your genitals. If you are known to anyone already in our community, let us know when you send your form to help us vet you through your friends. We may reach out to exchange messages with you during this time if we have specific questions or are looking for more information.
Step 3 – Attending
After you are approved to attend LOCK events, all that’s left is to RSVP to your first one! Please be respectful of our time by RSVPing early and confirming your RSVP promptly by paying for the event, if payment is required. You will receive final details a few days prior to the event in a private message, and you’re welcome to ask us any questions you have. Before some of our larger events, we may require attendees to take an at-home Covid test within 24 hours of their arrival. If this requirement applies to the event you are attending, those details will be in the message.
Please be sure to bring a legal ID with you to your first event. An admin will check your legal ID at the door for the sole purpose of verifying your identity. Nobody else will see your ID and we do not keep a copy. An admin will then show you around the space. Please familiarize yourself with our dungeon rules, if you’re attending a party. We’re happy to introduce you to friendly faces! You’ll find our community is very welcoming.
Please read the entire LOCK profile on Fetlife and let me know that you read it in its entirety when you tell us about yourself below.
Please allow 3 business days for LOCK admins to respond to your request. If for some reason you have not heard from us after 3 business days, please send us an email to: [email protected]
