apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Definitely Hot. I don't even know how many times i have reached in my pocked and pulled out my car keys to unlock my front door. I can't be the only person to ever do this (please say i'm not) :)

tough one.

Is this more durable and secure than the typical plastic fob you have to have in your pocket to enter? than a keypad? a bio scanner?

Oh and JonnyFP, this would be far easier to mistake for my switchblade car key.

We have seen fingerprint, key code and RFID door locks for a while. I wouldn't mind something like LemonScreen (http://www.keylemon.com) to unlock my door. No interaction involved other than turning the doorknob. Just another reason to replace the peephole with a camera.

where did you find that picture?
is that a concept or a real product ?

soo cool


ps, havnt used a key with my apartment in years,
i use a key code lock and it works great. i can change the code anytime i want..

i also install siedle systems in manhattan that lets residents enter a building and elevator with their lil orange key fobs . . quite cool . .

keys are for chumps!

Don't think i could trust it especially if i misplaced it.

Super Hot.

Since buying my house three years ago, I've periodically looked for keyless/RFID locks and have been disappointed every time.

There are only two or three options and all cost upwards of $500.
Which is weird, because just about every office in America has one of them; you'd think the price would have dropped by now.

(Secretly, I want keyless locks so that I can do the Wally Bump. I can't find the Dilbert comic, but the joke was that Wally was thrusting his crotch at the doors to open them, not realizing that the card key in his pocket unlocked the door.)

Cheers,
