Baldwin Presents Premium Hardware with Home Connect™

Keyless Entry marries legendary design and craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology

Lake Forest, CA – Homeowners can now combine stylish Baldwin door hardware with the latest in functional innovation. Baldwin Hardware introduces its latest security advancement, Keyless Entry with Home Connect™.

Baldwin’s Keyless Entry Deadbolt uses Home Connect™ technology and the ZigBee Pro wireless protocol to communicate with a Control4® home automation system. Unique codes can be programmed to control multiple electronic devices and systems throughout the home including A/V gear, lighting, thermostat and security systems. For example, unlocking the door can disarm the alarm, turn on interior lights, adjust thermostat settings to a comfortable temperature and switch on music. With any Control4® touch screen or TV in the home, a smart phone, or Web access, homeowners can check the status of their locks, lock/unlock their home remotely and receive a text or e-mail message when a lock is accessed.

While keyless locks are not new, Baldwin’s version sets a new benchmark for the market. Baldwin’s keyless lock features superior styling and construction, as well as the company’s legendary Lifetime Finish. Unlike others on the market, Baldwin’s keyless lock features a revolutionary self-aligning, tapered, motorized deadbolt; advanced design for ease of use and programming; customizable features; and trouble-free integration with other home automation components. With access codes up to eight digits long protected by 128-bit encryption, Baldwin’s Keyless Entry with Home Connect™ ensures true security.


The set also features one-touch locking and two customizable access codes—one for family, one for temporary access. Other features include a backlit keypad, incorrect code lockout, automatic door locking, audible signal for activation, lock/unlock LED indicator, and low battery indicator. Baldwin’s Keyless Entry with Home Connect™ is easy to install in a standard door, and no hard wiring is required.
Baldwin is offering two keyless entry styles: the contemporary Soho and the more traditional or rustic Boulder. Each comes in four finishes to coordinate with any home style and, unique to the segment, Baldwin is offering both sectional and 3/4 escutcheon handlesets with the locks. All styles are available for order by authorized Control4 dealers now.

Baldwin Keyless Entry with Home Connect™ is currently compatible via Zigbee with Control4® home automation systems. Visit Control4.com to locate a Control4 dealer near you. Additional home automation integration partners are being added frequently. Visit BaldwinHardware.com to learn if Baldwin’s Keyless Entry is compatible with your home automation system.
