The text message door opener is a brilliant concept created by Billy Chasen, one of the co-founders of Turntable.fm. There are three texts that you can send to the door: close, open and status. After a text is sent and the action preformed digitally, a message is returned confirming.
The text message door opener is a phenomenal concept that may very well be the beginning of the end for keys. Chasen created the door locking device from scratch. If you have not already have a look at the video to see just how it works.
