Foothill Ranch, CA – November 21, 2023 - Pro Tool Innovations Awards (PTIA) named the new Brinks Electronic Deadbolt with Fingerprint Technology its Best Smart Home Product for 2023. Now in its 11th year, the Pro Tool Innovation Awards are judged by a panel of construction industry Pros on innovation, performance, features, and value. As a global leader in security-related products and services, the Brinks name is synonymous with top quality merchandise, ‘A Trusted Name in Security since 1859’ ™.

The range of innovations entered into the 2023 Pro Tool Innovation Awards spanned enhanced power, improved battery life, new accessories and fasteners, and more—and the electronic deadbolt from Brinks was no exception: users can open doors seamlessly with just the touch of a finger, no keys needed.

The judges lauded the electronic deadbolt for offering its unparalleled features at a compelling price point: “Electronic deadbolts are a fantastic way to allow or cut off access to a home or facility without having to cut a bunch of keys. They can be a bit pricey, though. Brinks has a compelling solution to the problem. Their latest electronic deadbolt is both code and fingerprint enabled, with the capacity to save 50 users on both methods. Of course, there’s also a key to use as a backup. We like the feature set, but it’s the price that really got our attention—just $79. With many electronic locks with the same features running $100 or more, Brinks has an affordable way to enjoy the same convenience and security.”

The Brinks Electronic Deadbolt also allows a more traditional approach to unlocking the door with a personalized 4-to-8-digit code. An integrated numeric keypad with a backlit display ensures easy access even in low-light conditions, further emphasizing the user-centric design. The Brinks Electronic Deadbolt has the capacity to store up to 50 user codes and 50 fingerprint codes, allowing every family member or frequent visitors to have their own unique access code, enhancing accountability while maintaining maximum security. The deadbolt comes with 10 single-use codes, perfect for granting temporary access to visitors, contractors, or service providers. These single-use codes are automatically deleted after one-time use, ensuring that your home remains secure after their purpose is fulfilled.
