CES 2010: Kwikset SmartCode Locks Your Door from Your Cellphone

Kwikset’s new SmartCode Lever allows you to rest assured your home is always locked when it needs to be. SmartCode, which is an addition to Kwikset’s Home Connect product line, allows users to remotely connect to their home door locks and check its lock status. It enables you to automatically arm or disarm your security system from any internet browser or web-enabled cell phone. This is the only web enabled door lock on the market. As added security, SmartCode can also send you text message alerts anytime somebody enters your home. The lock itself is a keyless touchpad electronic lock with a one-touch locking mechanism. It is designed to be used on basically any door in your house; your front door, the door from your garage to your home, even a home office.  Kwikset also announced a new motorized deadbolt today at CES, which works in conjunction with SmartCode. Pricing and availability is to be determined.
