Tenhold, a provider of vehicle outfitting solutions for first responders, launched as a sub-brand of Kiefer Sage. The company was previously known as Jotto Desk.

Drawing on more than three decades of experience, Tenhold works with law enforcement officers to design mounting systems intended to reduce distraction, improve access to equipment, and support safety. Its products are designed for vehicles from manufacturers including Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge, supporting both individual units and fleet deployments.

Product Development and New Equipment

Tenhold introduced the Suppressor Lock Head for its weapon mounting system, designed to secure suppressor-equipped firearms. The system includes a wider interface, reinforced locking plate, and updated lock head intended to improve durability in field conditions.

Safety vehicle equipment has historically prioritized basic functionality, which can limit usability in high-pressure situations. Tenhold said its design approach focuses on improving access and reliability for first responders.

Field Use and Deployment

“The Tenhold gun locks will keep your weapons safe,” said Trey French, director of fleet operations for the Mississippi Highway Patrol. He cited a 2022 incident in which a secured firearm remained in place after an attempted vehicle break-in involving gunfire.

Tenhold currently supports agencies in more than 25 states, with adoption concentrated in regions including the Southeast and Southwest.
