Allegion Australia announced that its Gainsborough Freestyle Electronic Trilock has been selected as the winner of the Smart Lock Product of the Year award in the fifth annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program conducted by IoT Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market.
In August 2020, Allegion Australia released the Gainsborough Freestyle Electronic Trilock, one of the first three-in-one smart locks on the market. The new electronic Trilock combines Gainsborough’s modern and sleek design aesthetic with advanced IoT connected technologies to provide users convenience and peace of mind.
The functionality of the Gainsborough Freestyle Electronic Trilock replicates the three locking functions of its mechanical predecessor: unlocked (both internal and external handle unlocked), locked (external handle locked, internal handle unlocked) and deadlocked (both internal and external handle locked). The team at Allegion has been able to develop these three modes of locking that can be both controlled at the lock and through the app. This is one of the first electronic locks with a deadlock function. When used with the Gainsborough Freestyle Door Sensors, users know if the door is locked, unlocked, deadlocked, opened or closed.
“We are proud to not only deliver families advanced security for peace of mind with the Gainsborough Freestyle Electronic Trilock product but also create a positive user experience worthy of today’s modern consumer,” said Serge Zappone, managing director of Allegion Australia. “We are honoured to be selected as a standout smart home innovator in the 2020 IoT Breakthrough Awards program, and we look forward to continued success and momentum in 2021 and beyond.”
The mission of the IoT Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the globe in a range of IoT categories, including Industrial and Enterprise IoT, Smart City technology, Connected Home and Home Automation, Connected Car, and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 3,850 nominations from companies worldwide.
“The features of the Gainsborough Freestyle Electronic Trilock combines exceptional style and quality, simple installation, as well as advanced connected technology that provides a user experience that breaks through in today’s crowded field of smart lock products,“ said James Johnson, managing director at IoT Breakthrough. “We extend our sincere congratulations to the entire team at Allegion for taking home the top spot for our ‘Smart Lock Product of the Year’ designation in the 2021 IoT Breakthrough Awards program.”
Allegion Australia is part of Allegion PLC, a leading global security products and solutions provider developing technologies and solutions for seamless access with pioneering brands such as Schlage, SimonsVoss, and Gainsborough.
