Introduction of Schlage Connect Touchscreen Deadbolt Lock

When it comes to locks, two companies come to my mind and Schlage is one of them. Schlage began in 1909 when Walter Schlage patented a door lock that was capable of turning lights on and off. Over the last century Schlage made many advancements with locks and also grew their company to what it is today. Now located in Colorado Springs, Colorado Schlage continues to be the leading lock company that services not only residential homes but also large corporations.

Fast forward today and not only do we have locks but we have smart locks that are capable of connecting to home automation systems like Wink or SmartThings. With this type of automation we can have our doors lock behind us, lock at certain times, and ensure its unlocked when we arrive home. We can also program multiple access codes, giving everyone in the family their own code or even one to the house cleaner.

Today we are going to take a look at a smart lock from Schlage called the Connect Touchscreen Deadbolt Lock which has Z-Wave technology built-in giving us the ability to sync with our SmartThings hub that we’ll also be showing the functions of.
