LAS
VEGAS, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Schlage®, a leading provider of home security and access
solutions for over a century, today unveiled the Schlage
EncodeTM Smart WiFi Lever at the 2023 NAHB
International Builders' Show® (IBS). Expanding the
award-winning Schlage Encode family, the latest smart lock is
designed to work on standard single bore-hole doors, offering the
security and convenience of the Schlage smart lock experience to
more areas of the home. From garages and side doors to offices and
guest suites, the innovative lever functionality is an ideal
solution for any residential door that uses a knob or
lever.
The leading Schlage Encode family of products is on display at
IBS 2023 at booth C2115. The product lineup includes the Schlage
Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt (introduced 2019), Schlage Encode
Plus™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt (introduced 2022) and now the
Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Lever (introduced January 31, 2023). Backed by a century of
expertise in designing the most trusted locks, the Encode family
offers the finest access point protection anywhere in the home and
seamless integration with leading smart home technology, like
Google HomeTM and Amazon Alexa.
"We're seeing a shift in how people are using their living
spaces. Whether it's converting a bedroom into a home office, or
welcoming extended family into the home, consumers are asking for
the convenience and security provided by the Schlage Encode
deadbolt that can be used on doors that aren't prepped for a
deadbolt," said David Perozzi,
general manager, Allegion Home. "The Encode Lever unlocks another
layer of home security for consumers, replacing traditional knobs
and levers throughout the home with the power of the Schlage Encode
family."
Each Schlage Encode product is supported by the Schlage Home
App, which enables remote access to the lock and a variety of
useful features that help users and homebuilders alike. The same
unique and highly rated features developed with Schlage's original
WiFi-enabled locks are available with the Schlage Encode Smart WiFi
Lever through the Schlage Home app:
- Homeowners will enjoy being able to check the status of their
devices and lock/unlock the Encode Lever remotely from their
phones.
- Homeowners can create and manage up to 100 access codes from
the app, as well as set schedules for those codes for recurring,
temporary or permanent access.
- Real-time activity logs make it easy to know when a code has
been used, and customizable push notifications provide an added
layer of security and peace of mind.
- Pairing the Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Lever with the Schlage
Home app allows homeowners to use Alexa or Google Assistant to
securely control their lock via voice.
- The Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Lever is compatible with iOS and
Android devices via the Schlage Home app.
"Per Parks Associates, roughly nine million households in the
U.S. currently have at least one smart lock, which demonstrates
strong consumer interest in smart locking technology," said
Dave Ilardi, SVP and president of
Allegion Americas. "Whether you're a homeowner interested in
designing a connected home, or a multifamily builder looking to
modernize your projects, the common denominator for access control
solutions should always be trust. With more than a century's worth
of expertise in crafting the highest quality door locks, the
Schlage Encode family of products is the ideal combination of
classic superior security with robust connectivity features for the
modern home."
The Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Lever received the industry's best
rating for Security, Durability and Finish as designated by
independent experts at the Builders Hardware Manufacturers
Association2. It also boasts a built-in alarm that
detects when forceful entry is being attempted and offers
auto-lock, which can be set for various lengths of time for
hassle-free control.

Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Lever is offered in traditional and
contemporary designs that deliver quality and craftsmanship to
