Haven’s Smarter Door Lock Puts the Deadbolt to Rest

1 Comment

The smart TV, the smartphone, the smart (or stupid) motion action X-box, the smart thermostat, and yes, even the smart deadbolt all pale in comparison to the Haven’s “smarter” door lock in terms of home safety.

The perpetrator subtly popped the front door’s deadbolt with ease, and then he was in. The house and all of its domestic treasures, a vintage 1964 Godzilla action figure that guarded an Amazing Spiderman # 21 comic book encased in UV protective plastic, was ripe for the picking.

It seems that one of the other prevalent ways that a break-in occurs is with the simple kicking in of the door. Who knew?

Regardless of how smart the home security alarm or even deadbolt is, none of these systems can prevent the actually battering down of the building’s door.

Welcome the ingenious Haven Smart Lock, an efficient heavy-duty automatic wedge that offers tremendous resistance at the base of the door where it is strongest, rather than at the deadbolt hole, the weakest area in the doorframe.

The videos are amazing, as the Haven is shown to stand up to a boot, and a battering ram!

You can speak into a watch or wave your arm to lower the gates or to raise the sturdy, steel-based wedge support at your will.

Is there a mobile app to lock and unlock the door? Yes.

IS there Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability? Yes (although that can of course be used against it if a talented hacker so desired; sometimes the best new technology can be its own worst enemy).

There is a little over a week to go on the Haven Kickstarter campaign.

Haven has raised over $91,000 of its lofty $150,000 goal, and I dare you to say yea or nay.
