Gadget control
To install the device, you do not need special tools, skills and serious experience in use. Installed in the apartment itself, the gadget is mounted on top of a classic lock with a mechanical lock.
The electronic lock receives the signal from the smartphone of the apartment owner or other authorized persons. The phone is connected thanks to Bluetooth – connection, which makes it possible to unlock / lock the doors remotely, without a physical key.
Surely many will find this device very useful in situations where it is necessary to unlock the door remotely or in the dark, without illuminating the lock with a flashlight, where you need to insert the key, but simply taking out the smartphone and opening the door by pressing a button.
