Chastity Lockbox device

Chastity Lockbox by Research and Desire

Welcome to Chastity Lockbox! The Lockbox is a smart keyholding device designed to simplify self-keyholding and enable remote play with a partner—from anywhere in the world.

Setting Up Wi-Fi

The Lockbox is most powerful when connected to your online dashboard at dashboard.researchanddesire.com.
1

Access the Wi-Fi setup menu

Navigate to the Wi-Fi setup option on your Lockbox display.
2

Connect your phone to the device

Use your phone to connect to the Lockbox’s temporary network.
3

Configure your network

Enter your Wi-Fi credentials to connect the Lockbox to your home network.
The Lockbox requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection. 5GHz networks are not supported.

Lock Modes

Lock (Offline Capable)

You can lock the box at any time—with or without a Wi-Fi connection—by selecting Lock from the menu. Set the duration of your lock session, and the timer begins immediately.

Lock Forever (Online Only)

Lock Forever secures the device and defers all unlock decisions to your preconfigured online settings. Only your keyholder or dashboard rules can release the lock.
Be careful with this mode—you could end up stuck in chastity until your keyholder decides otherwise.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode puts your device into a low-power state, ideal for battery-only use. In sleep mode, the battery can last several days while continuing to track your lock timer without an internet connection.

Important Reminders

Practice safe chastity:
  • Know how your body responds and practice good hygiene to stay locked longer safely.
  • Always have a backup release method in case you need urgent access to your key.
  • The Lockbox has an emergency access port on the bottom that you can break open with a screwdriver in case of device failure or power loss. Replacement covers are available for purchase.

Unlocking Your Device

The device unlocks only when:
  • The timer expires, or
  • Your keyholder unlocks it through the dashboard
Keyholders can unlock the device at any time, regardless of the lock timer status.

Emergency Unlocking

Software Emergency Unlock

In an emergency, you can unlock the Lockbox by holding the lock button for 2 seconds and selecting Emergency Unlock.
Using the emergency unlock triggers a 24-hour cooldown period during which the device cannot be used.

Hardware Emergency Unlock

If the device fails or loses power, you can physically unlock it using the access port on the back of the device. Insert a screwdriver into the hole and break off the bottom piece to release the lock mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Wi-Fi Connection Issues

If you’re having trouble connecting:
  • Move closer to your router — Signal strength matters during initial setup.
  • Verify your network is 2.4GHz — The Lockbox does not support 5GHz networks.
  • Test your password — Try connecting another device to confirm your credentials are correct.
