And more prevalent in those middle class communities where home ownership and security have become synonymous with the other peaceful and economic trappings. However, as this recent age has shown, almost nothing is immune to being enhanced or disrupted by connectivity. The deadbolt is no different. Modernizing the home must include a “smart” lock.
