Schlage Unveils Cell Phone Locks

by Ed Sutherland on September 3, 2008

CARMEL, Ind — Have you ever forgotten a key or the combination to a lock? Lockmaker Schlage Wednesday introduced new deadbolt locks that can be controlled by computer or cell phone.

Schlage’s LiNK deadbolts and locks can be opened or closed using either a traditional 11-button keypad or an online application. The feature does away with keys and gives access to other family members or guests without needing to cut a new key or hand out security codes.

The Schlage LiNK online portal lets you set days and times - even e-mailing you when a code is used. The system reminds you when codes are used over the past three months.

Other features of the $299 lock include:

  • Compatibility with Z-Wave home automation devices, such as lighting or temperature controls.
  • For security, the LiNK locks use Secure Socket Layer and AEC 128-bit encryption.
  • A $12.99 monthly fee is required to access the LiNK portal from your computer or cell phone.
