traditional dead bolt is as good as dead. why else do you think we have home alarm? because most people didn’t think their doors would hold out intruders, especially with so many “free tips” on how to pick a lock circulating on the Internet. what you need is a lock that can’t be picked. a lock like the Haven Smart Lock. what makes Haven so special is, it breaks the norm of lock design by having it bolted to the strongest part of your house: the floor, and it has no lock to be picked. the concept of Haven is somewhat like jamming a chair to a door handle or pushing furniture against the door to prevent entry. obviously, picking of lock won’t get you in those situations and it is also obvious that you won’t jam the door outside of Hollywood movies and you most certainly can’t do it when you leave your house. this is where Haven comes in.

Haven Smart Home Lock

it is a smart lock, operable with your smartphone through a dedicate app or a specialized key fob. when activated, Haven deploys and act as a strong wedge stopping the door from being open. it is as simple as that. basically, Haven is a long wedge that runs the length of the width of your door and is a smart one at that. made from steel, glass reinforced nylon and aluminum, this low profile floor mounted security device also boast WiFi, Bluetooth and an accelerometer that works to send alerts if someone attempts to force their way in. additionally, it can be configured to work with other home automation gadgets such as smart lightings and stuff, so it could, say for example, turn on all the lights if attempted intrusion is detected.
