Superior Smart Lock Design
Created with the elegance and minimalism of Danish design and a heavy-duty aluminum bezel, both Danalock products provide seamless functionality through an easy to use interface. In addition, Danalock was developed using a patent pending, multilayer AES encrypted data transfer that happens between the lock and a secure server. There is no transfer of key data from the phone or storing of key data on the phone, creating additional peace of mind for users.
“From the beginning, Poly-Control’s mission was to deliver a smart lock with the everyday consumer in-mind, by being user-friendly, convenient, and full-featured; built with advanced security for peace of mind; and can expand to work with the most popular home automation systems, ” said Henning Overgaard, CEO of Poly-Control. “Today, we are very pleased to offer Danalock, which hits on every mark, including an option for seamless integration with Z-Wave smart home gateways – and all at a price that fits most people’s wallet.”
No wiring necessary! Danalock can be easily installed on most any type of door over existing deadbolt locks and using standard attachments. All parts are included.
