Do you ever arrive at work and have that little panicky moment where you’re unsure if you locked the door? Do you go back? Call a neighbor? Hope your autopilot self was responsible today?

Why not just pull out your phone and check to be sure? With the Bosma Aegis, you can control your deadbolt with an app, but that’s not all you can do. For a limited time, the Bosma Aegis Smart Door Lock is only $79.99 (regularly $119) with code SMARTLOCK. If you’re interested, act fast though — this sale only lasts through August 2022.

Lock your door from anywhere in the world

If you, like 70% of Americans, sometimes leave home only to realize you didn’t lock your door, this lock lets you check for sure with the Bosma app. (It’s free in the App Store). If the door is unlocked, simply press a button to lock it, but the Aegis can do much more! For example, if you’re off on vacation and have a friend staying at your house or pet-sitting, you can give them a temporary passcode to allow them inside during a limited window.

This also works for tenants and service providers, so you never have to leave your door unlocked or stash a key under the doormat. If your guest forgets the passcode, all they have to do is call you, and you can let them in with the app. You also can schedule your door to lock and unlock as you leave and get home. No more fumbling for your keys while carrying groceries and gear after a Sam’s Club run.

But what if someone else tries to get in? The Aegis features break-in detection, which shoots siren alerts to notify you immediately during an incident. It also informs you if the door is left ajar. Plus, the smart door lock has AES-128 encryption, so it’s unlikely a hacker will break into your home.

All that, and you don’t even need a professional to install it. All you need is a screwdriver and an existing deadbolt on your door.
