January 8, 2009

Las Vegas, NV - Schlage®, the most trusted brand of door locks, is exhibiting the latest innovation that fuses home security and automation with mobile technology. The new Schlage LiNK deadbolts and locks, which will be featured in CES Booth South 1 20350, provide homeowners the power to remotely control and monitor access to their home 24/7 with any web-enabled mobile phone or computer.

Schlage LiNK’s remote access capabilities were developed through a partnership with Crayon Interface, a leading provider of remote monitoring and control solutions through mobile devices and PCs. Crayon Interface’s remote access platform, called Moshi®, provides networking capabilities to devices in both home and small business environments. Products “Powered by Moshi” are securely and reliably connected to the internet, allowing users to control and monitor devices including door locks, IP cameras, thermostats and lighting anytime, anywhere through intuitive graphical user interfaces on cell phones and PCs. Moshi also offers the broadest range of mobile device compatibility for remote monitoring and control solutions – with interface software compatible with every major cell phone software platform on the market today, including Java, BREW, Windows CE, BlackBerry and Apple’s iPhone.

“Schlage LiNK delivers peace of mind and convenience to homeowners through the most prolific communication platform ever – the mobile phone.” stated Garrick Pohl, Crayon Interface’s CEO. “We are very excited to partner with Schlage, a company that has a rich heritage of more than 85 years of providing homeowners with premium door locks.”

Schlage LiNK is an intelligent residential security platform utilizing wireless communication protocols and the highest levels of network security standards available. Schlage has also designed the solution to be simple to install, leveraging Crayon Interface’s Network Device Manager Technology, for a true plug-and-play customer experience.

“We are excited to exhibit at CES for the first time in the brands rich history to showcase the first and only wireless-controlled door lock that provides convenience to consumers' active lifestyles,” says Dwight Gibson, general manager, Intelligent Residential Security, for Ingersoll Rand, the parent company of Schlage. “Crayon Interface has the proven expertise to create user-friendly mobile platforms and strict security standard and played a key role to help us develop a solution that is much more than just a door lock.”

Schlage LiNK deadbolts and locks provide keyless entry through 4-digit access codes that can be entered, activated, deleted or disabled on the lock's 11-digit push button keypad, or via the Schlage LiNK web portal or mobile application. The solution, which will be available on Amazon.com in January, gives homeowners the freedom of never having to carry or circulate multiple sets of keys, coupled with the ability to instantaneously grant access to family members, friends, unexpected house guests, and service professionals such as cable repair technicians, pet sitters and housekeepers.

Schlage LiNK locks are the first Z-Wave-enabled locks and work seamlessly with more than 300 other Z-Wave-enabled home automation devices including products ranging from lighting and temperature to pool and spa controls.
