Appealing to both modern design fanatics and those with a love for tradition, Dog & Bone's smart padlock is an interesting innovation that combines the best of both worlds.
More technologically advanced than other basic padlocks, this smart lock is formally known as the LockSmart. One of the first of its kind, this smart padlock is equipped with Bluetooth and works in conjunction with an app available for Android and iOS. With this app, users are granted access to others and able to track who came in. The owner is also given multiple access options, which include using a passcode and touch ID.
However, even with all its intelligent features, the LockSmart is designed to look like a regular padlock and made out of die-cast Zamak-3 zinc alloy and hardened steel.
