Group 14 has developed a prototype for a household keyless entry system. The three-channel transmitter can perform the operations independently from up to 100' away. Installation is easiest when done in a home under construction, but it can be added to finished homes as well. The automated door locking and opening system runs through a transformer on house current, and does not add bulky components to the door. In case of power or mechanical failure, the system can be manually overridden with the original house keys and the door can still be locked.
Major benefits are the auto-open feature when carrying bulky items, and no more fumbling with keys.
