It’s hard to imagine that there’s a whole lot of mystery left in the door lock. The keypad added something kind of cool to the category. However, LockState is looking to take that cool to high-tech levels, with the LockState Connect Remote-Lock.

The LockState Connect Remote-Lock is a residential keypad door lock that adds in web access. That basically means you can lock and unlock the door from any web-connected computer, tablet or mobile device.

It’s also easy to install—just like any other door lock. It can replace any existing deadbolt or lever, so that lock can be a high-tech lock. Even better, there’s no software or computer equipment needed.

Besides being able to control the lock, the LockState Connect Remote-Lock allows users to remotely revoke access, create temporary passwords for guests, and schedule access times. Users can also setup real-time alerts, so a text will be sent whenever someone unlocks and enters the door.

Designed to integrate with thermostats, cameras, motion sensors and other devices, the LockState Connect Remote-Lock is currently available for pre-order, with a promotional price of $199. Once the lock is unleashed to the general public, that price will go up to $249.

Returning this Item - it is a little misleading to to say you can open it with your phone/computer. You have to set up intervals for the lock to connect to WiFi. When it hits one of these intervals it will look to see if you have sent any codes. If you set it to 10 seconds the batteries will last 5 days. Even at one minute they will only last one month. So if you tell your phone to open you lock it would wait for the next connect (up to a minute) and then unlock. I have sent codes with it on 10 seconds and it never locked or unlocked? If you want to have your batteries last a year you’ll have to wait an hour for your door to unlock. So it’s basically just a keypad lock that is supposed to send messages if someone uses it.

I installed per the instructions but when I enter the code it gets stuck in the middle of the movement. when unlocked I cant lock it using the inside lever. Still cant set it up to use the app. If you don’t alreadty have one, I would wait to order one at this point.

Very disappointed witht his product. 

The keypad buttons get stuck when pressing them, the directions are very poor and I had to figure out some of the options with time.  Not very convenient for storing codes.  The door will not lock properly despite following the directions. 

AND THE INTERNET WIFI SOFTWARE IS NOT AVAILABLE YET?  WHY RELEASE IT? 

I want my money back.

Apparently, there is a special pre-order link… which is now available in the copy above. That’s where you can get the special price. The first crop of products will start shipping next month, with the rest coming at the beginning of 2013. Thanks again, guys!
