The Remote Control Deadbolt Activator

This is the patented device that allows you to operate an existing deadbolt with a remote control. Easily installed with a screwdriver and requiring no permanent alterations to a door, the device simply replaces the thumb-turn mechanism that controls a single-cylinder deadbolt from inside a home. The included radio frequency remote control communicates with the device from up to 80′ away. Price $79.95

The activator allows residents to unbolt the lock for guests (and re-bolt it when they depart) without trekking all the way to the door, and to quickly enter their home by pressing a button rather than fumbling for a key. The bolt can also be operated by hand or with existing keys. Requires four AA batteries that power the device for up to one year.
