As long as you didn't misplace your digits. :undecided:

When we last put together an Electronic Warfare conference, we invited a professor from Edith Cowan University to speak on IT security and what he had to say about keyless systems would turn your blood cold. I'd stick to keys for quite some time to come.
-
He'd be from Perth then.......
-
Yes, Dave, a very knowledgeable chap, same as all Perth people. :rolleyes:

:goodjob2:

How does that work? :undecided:
-
he opens the app......then does something to it.....then holds it against the lock, and wallah...the bolt moves...

did you know there are systems out there that allow you to lock/unlock your door from anywhere in the world using your phone?

what did he say? probably slower to open?
so what about keyless cars?
hey a friend with a new keyless bike, ( if you have the right key fob close by or in your pocket & the bike not locked, they will start & run fine. well his son was staying with him sa few days too the new bike to town. but the key fob was hanging on the wall near the bike & bike was not locked as was friends farm. Anyway son gets to town turns off the bike & when he returns it would not restart as no keyfob close by.
LOL

they have both electronic and mechanical digital dead locks I was looking at marine grade mechanical. can't see an app opening something that's mechanical, but if you can that means we can get aps to change our manual gear box auto?
-
I don't think my keyless car would do that :undecided:
Pretty funny though.. :snigger:
-

if your car has built in GPS they could shut it down from anywhere in the world. I've known this for a long time as meet a guy that had something to do with the US military they started using GPS a long time back he said if there was a fuel shortage like when the gulf war was on. they could te;ll you how far you can drive & how much fuel you can have & shut your car down if you exceed the limit they set. but not saying they ever would just it's possible but not with an old carb model

It's not the GPS that does it. A GPS receiver is just that, a receiver only. It takes satellite and/or GSM comms to achieve that kind of interaction and a carb model with the right electronic interface would be shut down just as easily via the engine management system, they just happen to be mostly EFI these days.

Hi Lakes,
We've had the Lockwood Nexion remote control keyless doorlocks on our front door for nearly ten years and it has been a very successful system. It developed a fault a few years ago and they sent a guy out to repair it free of charge even though the warranty had expired. Never had a problem since then apart from the need to change the batteries occasionally. The remote is a small almond shaped device no bigger than a normal key and operates within a range of a few metres. It's very convenient when your carrying something and especially good at night as you don't need to fumble around getting a key into the keyhole.
I can recommend the system for ease of use and I guess it is just as secure as the remote locking systems on our cars.
Russ
PS. It comes with a normal key as well but we have rarely used it.
-
i'll make sure its mechanical & digital buttons works like a combination lock. just only want it digital on outside not both sides just in case I need to exit real quick like it the place is on fire :Shocked:

hey Thanks i'll check those out. remote like the key fob on my car? that sounds quick & easy

Back to the door locks, they work fine as long as you have a good memory. In an emergency situation, that may be a problem :exclaim:
-
On my new tablet there is an app to disable my mobile phone should it be misplaced or stolen.
-
I wouldn't waste my money buying you beaut locks....
.
If someone wants to get in, they'll get in, if not through the door, then they'll break a window or lift tiles off the roof.
Locks only keep honest people out... :lol:

LOL an old carb that uses a distributor to provide ignition does not have any engone management some used a magneto to provide spark. but I suppose you could zap anything.

true Phil, but the remote keyless dead lock like Seoul- mate mentioned you just push a button they use that type a lot in offices & so on, but mostly they have a card swipe outside & button on wall inside been around a while. in the end you can kick most doors open if you need to. just makes a lot of noise .
I think i'll go with what Seoul-mate has. as I like key fobs with my car too, how about you Phil do you use the key to unlock your car? its faster with the remote than with a key especially in the dark.

true but insurance gets cheaper the more secure you set the place up, I had a mate that used to hook up a mini electric fence to his bike at night as had to leave it outside. i'm setting this up very secure Rusty not that crime is a problem here just I think its a good idea
& a remote to unlock door in dark is easier than keys, you have remote to unlock your car.i always enter via remote garage door in old place but in new place have to lift up garage door. i borrowed a mates old Toyota ute & trailer to move and it had key open doors no central locking & wind up windows, you get lazy as you get older LOL
-
Yes I do use the remote for the car. I thought you didn't want to carry keys, cards or any other devices. The inside push button exit would come in handy if someone's chasing you with an axe, :scared: if the power's still switched on, that is.
My mate had intruders, they turned off the juice & even cut the solar lights at the door entry, but got nothing dur to the internal alarm. In fact, they left their dna on exit. :lol:

Just recently , I was in the locksmith looking to get another fob for the garage door and on display he had front entrance locks that work on the eyes or the thumbprint....saves remembering a number or trying to get a fob out when your hands are full........

I've heard about those .. Robbers cut your thumb off and carry it around in case they want to get back in :sweating:
But seriously if not too expensive sounds like a good idea :goodjob: I have a fingerprint reader built into my laptop but haven't got around to setting it up (which I should - as I'm the only one that uses it)
-

I can open any door with a $10, 5 lb hammer... Locks are only there to slow down and discourage unwanted entry!
-
very true Ian! sledge hammer is quick. just it's what other side of the door they would worry about i guess. in the end i like the keyless entry as lot of trouble getting key into a lock in dark or with arms full.
is it worth setting up video survalance ( not down the beach in the house ).
-
Try them, I've seen them at masters/bunnings, the Lockwood ones (nexus series) I was at the workshop that did the tooling for them!! I polished all the moulds blocked up the dies, cut the ejector pins and drilled the coolant holes!!
-
So you know how to get in then :mrgreen: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Lock picking is best done with a man on the inside. :whistler:

We use Lockwood digital electronic Locke on holiday house found great for letting trades people accessing the house for work you can set codes to expire for upto 3 weeks in advance. It seems to work fine no issues so far you can check to see who has used what codes and when to enter house and don't need to give keys to family to get in if lock is tamperd with shuts down does have key override as required. Was about $250 to buy reasonably easy to Retro fit into previous dead lock hole
-
Thanks Pete :goodjob:

thanks for that info Ian, i like to support our country & makes me feel better i've done that, it sure is a shinny beautiful thing i got two of the lockwood remote, will get a lockwood normal dead lock between the garage & house entry
-
put them in yet lakes?? get a pic for us!!
-
Hey Ian not yet I have to get a 2 1/8" to cut hole in wood. probably do that in a week or so, got a few jobs like shelving & so on so I can shoe horn everything into a single garage.

Hey Gonz my 93 yo Dad showed me how to do that, LOL there was an under stairs storage that he accidentally locked, we could not find the key. there is nothing he can't do or make. I've got him here helping set place up.
