World’s first claim for Apple tech
lock launch
15th January 2019

MIGHTON PRODUCTS has claimed a world’s first with Avia, a smart multipoint door lock based on Apple HomeKit technology.

The company unveiled Avia before 182,000 visitors at the giant CES Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month. It also took part in an Apple product launch event in New York last month.

The multipoint locks are secured by raising the handle and unlocked using the dedicated Avia app on an Apple iPhone or iPad, by using a key fob from a range of up to 30 metres, or via an electronic keypad.

A further innovation due later this year is face recognition, which will be activated via an optional accessory. Avia can also be controlled via the app from anywhere in the world, for example to allow access for service providers. Also a traditional key may be used in the TS 007 3 star cylinder as an emergency backup to offer total peace of mind.

Mighton’s Mike Derham said: “Avia has been thoroughly developed and extensively tested to ensure that we have a highly functional, secure and effective product that is simple to install and which works seamlessly using Apple HomeKit technology. Recent statistics show that there are 1.3 billion active Apple devices worldwide. For everyone with an Apple iPhone or iPad Mighton Avia will provide a highly effective Apple HomeKit-enabled smart lock solution for their home or properties under their control. After extensive development work with Apple, users will have the confidence that Avia will work seamlessly with their devices.”
