Unikey
UniKey was all set to exhibit at Eureka Park during CES 2013, but at the last minute, they sealed a deal with Kwikset to add Bluetooth capabilities to Kwikset’s suite of smart locks.
With the UniKey technology, the Kwikset locks will enable users to grant access codes to guests, who then need only have a Bluetooth phone in the vicinity to unlock the door.

Integration friendliness: 0/5 (standalone solution, although Kwikset will probably bring more to the table)
Retrofit: Replaces virtually all doors and locks, even non-standard
Keyless entry: Bluetooth
Aesthetics/finish options: 5/5 (assuming it will be implemented into existing Kwikset hardware)
Bonus points: 0
