Schlage brings door locks to the web?

Recently at ShowStoppers in NYC, Gadgetell got a chance to talk to Schlage. What was Schlage, a lock company, doing at an electronics trade show? They were showing off their “Schlage LiNK” locks and deadbolts. The locks bring something new to the table — web connectivity.

Personally, I have been locked out of my house more times than I care to remember. If you have this lock installed, you can use your phone to connect to the web and unlock the door through a web interface. Don’t worry, the lock can still be unlocked by a standard key or if you use the lock’s number pad with a code.
