“As the innovation leader in the residential door hardware industry, we have a responsibility to continue to drive advancement in security and access control, and that’s exactly what we’re doing by integrating the door lock into urity and automation systems,” said Dave Albert, vice president, Brand Marketing and Business Development, Black & Decker Hardware and Home Improvement. “It didn’t make sense to us that a urity system could tell if the door was open or closed but couldn’t tell if it was securely locked. Now, from anywhere with web access, I can check to see if my home’s doors are locked, and if not, I can lock them through that Internet connection. These new solutions truly advance the functionality of door hardware.”
