Boltivate smart lock attachs to any ordinary deadbolt
Boltivate is a new Kickstarter that’s working on solving the problems of expensive and hard to install deadbolts and other locks. The device takes seconds to install and works with any existing locks you have on your doors. I’ve always loved the idea of smart locks or other smart devices, but the smart locks were harder to install than some light bulbs.
The Kickstarter has 114 backers with $12,128 days, which is well above their $3,500 goal. Not only was their goal small, but they also managed to breeze by the target in no time. Not to mention, the founder and gadget inventor is only 11 years old!
While the tradition smart locks need you to remove old hardware and replace it with the new smart lock, the Boltivate slides onto existing locks. This means it’s easy to install, control remotely, and doesn’t need to have hardware exchanged. On top of that, the Boltivate is only $35 for one. This price is a fraction of many smart locks, but being a Kickstarter, you won’t see the device until December of this year.
