Abstract:
1. A method of remotely actuating a door lock, consisting the steps of: establishing telephone communication with a door lock actuating mechanism by dialing a telephone number associated with the door lock; transmitting an identification code to the door lock actuating mechanism; comparing the transmitted identification code with an authorization code stored in the door lock actuating mechanism; activating the door lock actuating mechanism to change a state of the door lock when the transmitted identification code matches the stored authorization code; transmitting a first alert message without changing the state of the door lock when the transmitted identification code does not match the stored authorization code; monitoring the door lock continuously; detecting unauthorized access to the door lock, and transmitting a secondary alert message to a user specified address when unauthorized access is detected; wherein the step of transmitting the first alert message and the step of transmitting the second alert message each consists of transmitting a text message to a user-specified address.
