REHAU Unveils Smart Lock Revolutionizing Home & Business Security

LEESBURG, VA – November 8, 2023 – REHAU INDUSTRIES LLC, a leading global polymer processor and systems provider, today announced the launch of its innovative Bluetooth-enabled smart lock, poised to redefine access control for homes and businesses. For over 70 years, REHAU has been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of polymer technology, and this new product represents a significant step forward in leveraging that expertise for everyday security solutions. “We’ve always been about creating lasting value through innovation,” says a spokesperson for REHAU. “We saw a real opportunity to combine our material science strengths with the growing demand for smart, convenient, and secure access control. This isn’t just a lock; it’s a whole new way to think about how we protect what matters most.” Beyond Traditional Keys: A Smarter Way to Secure Your Space For decades, the humble key has been the cornerstone of security. But let's face it – keys get lost, copied, or even stolen. REHAU’s new smart lock throws that old system out the window. Using the power of Bluetooth technology and a user-friendly mobile app, you can unlock doors with your smartphone, grant access to guests remotely, and monitor activity – all from the palm of your hand. “We wanted to make security easy,” explains the product development team. “No more fumbling for keys in the dark, or worrying about who has a copy. With our app, you're always in control.” How It Works: Simple Setup, Seamless Operation Setting up the REHAU smart lock is surprisingly straightforward. It replaces most standard deadbolt locks, meaning no complicated wiring or professional installation is generally needed. The app guides you through the process, and you’ll be up and running in minutes. Here’s a breakdown of the key features: Smartphone Access: Unlock and lock your door directly from your smartphone via a secure Bluetooth connection. Guest Access: Easily create and manage virtual “keys” for family, friends, or service providers. You can set time limits on access, so you're always in control. Need to let the dog walker in while you're at work? No problem. Activity Monitoring: The app keeps a detailed log of who accessed your door and when. This provides valuable peace of mind and can be useful for tracking activity. Secure Encryption: REHAU prioritizes security. The smart lock uses advanced encryption technology to protect against unauthorized access. Your data is safe and secure. Durable Construction: REHAU is renowned for its high-quality polymer materials. The smart lock is built to withstand the elements and everyday wear and tear. It's a lock you can rely on. Emergency Access: Don’t worry about getting locked out! The lock features a traditional key override for emergency situations. Remote Management: Future updates will include remote access via a secure cloud connection, allowing you to control the lock from anywhere in the world (requires optional subscription). Sleek Design: The lock is designed to blend seamlessly with a variety of door styles and aesthetics. It's not just smart, it looks good too. Beyond the Home: Business Applications While perfect for homeowners, REHAU’s smart lock also offers a range of benefits for businesses: Access Control: Manage access for employees, contractors, and visitors with ease. Reduced Key Management Costs: Eliminate the need for physical keys, reducing the costs associated with replacement, lost keys, and rekeying. Enhanced Security: Track who enters and exits your business premises, providing an added layer of security.
