Redefining what it means to be secure, Schlage®, a brand of Ingersoll Rand, unites brains and brawn in the new Touchscreen Deadbolt lock, putting the highest grade of security at homeowners’ fingertips. The Schlage Touchscreen Deadbolt, a 2013 Electronic House Product of the Year award winner, is a strong, innovative lock that brings together the industry-leading home automation features of NexiaTM Home Intelligence, the worry-free convenience of keyless entry, and protection of a built-in alarm, to create a lock like no other on the market. The multi-function lock offers keyless control using simple access codes, so homeowners never have to worry about losing, hiding, carrying or forgetting their house keys again.
To celebrate the launch, during the month of January Schlage will choose 13 lucky winners to take home a new Touchscreen Deadbolt as part of a New Year, New Lock promotion.
The Touchscreen Deadbolt can hold up to 30 unique access codes and is designed to support temporary codes for homeowner convenience. Codes can be tailored to specific days and times of the week to provide home access only when scheduled, such as for cleaning service personnel. Depending on the current setting, the built-in alarm technology enables homeowners to hear instantly when someone goes in or out, tampers with the lock or tries to break into the home.
The Touchscreen Deadbolt is specifically engineered to provide security and technology that complements the needs and lifestyles of today’s homeowners. There’s no need to worry about whether or not the door is locked, as the Touchscreen Deadbolt motorized bolt automatically locks and unlocks when a four-digit user code is entered. Its lock-and-leave functionality requires only one touch to instantly safeguard the home.
Nexia: Control locks and more from anywhere
Tapping into the latest technology, the Touchscreen Deadbolt connects with Nexia Home Intelligence, enabling homeowners to manage their home security from anywhere in the world, from their smartphones or tablets. For example, users can unlock a door from work to let a dog walker inside, manage unique key codes and settings from the airport, or receive text alerts if a lock is activated or an alarm is triggered while on vacation.
With Nexia compatibility, Touchscreen Deadbolt users can also choose to control many additional home functions through their smartphones or tablets, including heating and cooling, video surveillance, lights, shades and whole-home energy usage.
The Schlage Touchscreen Deadbolt will be available in mid-January for between $199 - $229 at Amazon.com, Build.com, and HomeDepot.com. Visit Schlage.com for additional outlets. The Nexia Home Bridge and standard subscription plan are required for remote capability. The Nexia Home Bridge and the Standard Subscription Plan ($8.99 per month) allow consumers to add more than 200 compatible products to their systems and connectivity with smartphone, tablet and computer devices.
