The Opportunity

We’re living in a world where convenience is king and technology advances are reshaping entire industries. Yet despite all these changes, one market has seen little in terms of technological or customer centric improvements – the physical access control market, including the lock on your front door. Although there have been a few rather niche oriented new offerings, little has changed with regards to the foundation of any access control system, the key.

The Initial Product

UniKey’s initial product will be a “hands free” residential door lock. UniKey set out to create an experience similar to what’s available in today’s automotive market, where you can simply walk up, touch the handle and gain access. However, instead of adding an extra key-fob, the UniKey system is controlled by your Smartphone. Now, it’s as easy as walking up, touching your door,
and gaining access. Additionally, with your key on your Smartphone, the UniKey mobile application allows you to send and receive keys on a one-time, limited time, or permanent use.
