1. Smart lock 2.0
We all want to make the workplace secure while in the office and keep the assets secure while we’re not at work. Keeping the workplace secure after working hours can be a hectic task, but the August Smart Lock is here to let you go home stress-free and have some time with your loved ones. You can keep the physical keys at home with the smart lock, which turns a door with standard deadbolt into a ‘smart door.’ This highly advanced and well-thought device lets you unlock the workplace doors using your smartphone and distribute the virtual keys to co-workers who may need the access.
This hitches onto the deadbolt mechanism from the inside and doesn’t change the appearance of the door.
