As we get closer to shipment we will first go through a pre-production phase to produce a number of pilot Lockitrons on our production equipment. This run of units lets us ensure that every part of Lockitron - from the plastics and metals up through our circuit boards and software - work together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Countdown to Lockitron&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The last two weeks we have been bringing together all of the pieces and timetables for Lockitron. While some of the tooling for Lockitron has taken longer due to our mechanical improvements, we are very pleased with the finished product and happy to announce the ship date for the first batch of Lockitrons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/2f7919292726690550b78c9bd066d2fd/tumblr_inline_mnktygMXWy1qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first Lockitrons start shipping July 15th, 2013.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the first batch of Lockitrons heads out the door, we will update your dashboard to reflect your estimated shipping window. You will have the chance to change your address up until a week before your unit is ready to ship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your support and patience over the last few months - we&amp;#8217;re excited to bring Lockitron to your door!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Building Lockitron for Mobile&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the last few weeks we&amp;#8217;ve made tremendous progress on the new version of the Android app. This app is a full rebuild from our first version that is currently in the Google Play store and now allows you to invite and manage virtual keys for family and friends&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the next couple of weeks we will be onboarding beta testers to try out the app so we can fix the app&amp;#8217;s bugs before shipment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;On the iOS front, version 2 of the Lockitron app is currently in the App Store. We&amp;#8217;ll be pushing a couple more updates to this app before Lockitron is ready to ship. We encourage iPhone users to get the app set up today to use our &amp;#8220;Check Compatibility&amp;#8221; feature. It&amp;#8217;s incredibly easy - just snap a couple of photos of your current door lock and we will let you know if you are ready to go with Lockitron.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/51665008951</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/51665008951</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 May 2013 13:29:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Die Cast Parts and Emissions Testing</title><description>&lt;p&gt;The past two weeks we have been dotting our i&amp;#8217;s and crossing our t&amp;#8217;s with all of the components that go in your Lockitron&amp;#8217;s box. While we&amp;#8217;re keeping the new packaging under wraps for now, we believe it is important to note that we are including four fresh AA batteries from a major brand name supplier in every box.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 class="null"&gt;Die Casting and Painting&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We now have the first factory produced aluminum parts in hand. Each Lockitron part is die cast from a machined steel tool. Due to the difficulty of machining steel, these tools take weeks to make. With this tool we are now producing some test units to understand how the parts need to be tweaked before we produce tens of thousands of each component.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In our last update we showed off one of the unfinished Lockitron covers made from blue ABS plastic. Each one of these covers goes through a finishing stage where the front of the part is given it&amp;#8217;s glossy shine and the soft touch paint is applied to the rim. One of the test covers is shown below, however, the soft touch and gloss were accidentally swapped.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/0b77b0feb58d1dae02dc81bd2ebd7564/tumblr_inline_mn609bU9uY1qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A little rough around the edges, this cast Lockitron housing has not yet been through the bead blast stage which produces a uniform finish. After this process, the housing looks much closer to the prototype parts we&amp;#8217;ve shown in previous updates.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/3b4f950dc3bcb2baa7625e9c15f2fb9a/tumblr_inline_mn60auc5oD1qz4rgp.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ooops! The soft touch rim and glossy front of this test cover were accidentally swapped.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 class="null"&gt;Listening In: EMC Testing&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A crucial part of ensuring Lockitron is ready to ship is emissions testing to confirm every unit meets regulatory standards. This means that Lockitron isn&amp;#8217;t sending out any unexpected radio waves that might interfere with other devices.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We dropped by a few local test facilities and captured some great photos including one of our test units being run through its paces on a jig.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/bb22f617a4836ec6a9ca012bef6c1b43/tumblr_inline_mn60c02xKS1qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shown here is one of the anechoic chambers. The word &amp;#8220;anechoic&amp;#8221; literally means echo-less, the chamber absorbing reflections of both sound and electromagnetic waves. All electronic devices need to be tested in these chambers to ensure their electromagnetic emissions are within a mandated range.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/ac05b8a72b6a6ea6288ed11ff5890013/tumblr_inline_mn60cpX2WB1qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Lockitron test rig is positioned in one of the anechoic chambers for a dry run of our circuit board. The initial testing revealed that Lockitron is ready to go and shouldn&amp;#8217;t have any problems when we complete the final testing.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We thank you for your patience. Once Lockitron is ready to ship your dashboard will be updated to reflect when your unit is expected to go out this summer.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/51011092356</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/51011092356</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 13:24:23 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>New Lockitron Color</title><description>&lt;p&gt;We are excited to announce all of the molds for the cosmetic components of Lockitron have been completed. Below you can see the main housing cover and knob along with several of the retaining rings cast in a test plastic.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We are still hard at work on the internal gear molds that make up Lockitron&amp;#8217;s drive train. Once these molds are completed we will need to test that everything functions as it is supposed to, make any necessary adjustments, and start up the production line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://d2q0qd5iz04n9u.cloudfront.net/_ssl/proxy.php/http/gallery.mailchimp.com/d4bf5489c1f03dcaf6fd08d50/images/LockitronParts21ad6e5.jpg" width="564"/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lockitron&amp;#8217;s main housing, knob, and retaining rings cast in test plastic. These parts don&amp;#8217;t make it into a final unit but are used to check fit and adjust tooling parameters like the mold temperature, hold time, and pressure settings.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 class="null"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You asked, we delivered.&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://d2q0qd5iz04n9u.cloudfront.net/_ssl/proxy.php/http/gallery.mailchimp.com/d4bf5489c1f03dcaf6fd08d50/images/white_lockitronddbb77.png" width="564"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Say hello to the new Lockitron color: Studio White&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Since our launch, many of you have requested an all white Lockitron. We&amp;#8217;ve heard you, and we&amp;#8217;re happy to announce that we&amp;#8217;ll be coming out with our fourth Lockitron color, Studio White. While not something we had originally planned for, it made a lot of sense for us to have, since we&amp;#8217;re already using white features for both the Bondi Blue and Quicksilver models.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; If you&amp;#8217;ve been holding out for the white finish, you can update your color selection by going to &lt;a href="https://lockitron.com/dashboard/orders" target="_self"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lockitron.com/dashboard/orders"&gt;https://lockitron.com/dashboard/orders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and clicking the  &amp;#8221;Change&amp;#8221; button next to your current color selection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 class="null"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;More Ways to Check Compatibility&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://d2q0qd5iz04n9u.cloudfront.net/_ssl/proxy.php/http/gallery.mailchimp.com/d4bf5489c1f03dcaf6fd08d50/images/compatibilitycfe400.png" width="564"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to our &amp;#8220;Check Compatibility&amp;#8221; feature in our iPhone app, we&amp;#8217;re releasing a printable &lt;a href="https://lockitron.com/compatibility.pdf" target="_self"&gt;Lockitron cutout&lt;/a&gt;. Simply print out the template, cut on the dotted line and place over your current lock. If you&amp;#8217;re unsure if Lockitron will fit, feel free to reach out us directly at &lt;a href="mailto:install@lockitron.com" target="_self"&gt;install@lockitron.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you don&amp;#8217;t have a printer nearby or want an expert&amp;#8217;s opinion, grab a copy of the new Lockitron iPhone app where you can send photos of your current door lock directly to us for evaluation.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you haven&amp;#8217;t already downloaded the Lockitron iPhone app, you can find it on the App Store &lt;a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lockitron/id440597564?mt=8" target="_self"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/49480609815</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/49480609815</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2013 18:45:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Test Shots</title><description>&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;re back in Zhuji, China this week with our manufacturing partner where the first &amp;#8220;test shot&amp;#8221; parts are rolling off the line. These test shots are the result of a process called injection molding whereby plastic is injected into specially machined cavities that form the shapes of Lockitron&amp;#8217;s parts.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The injection molds produce hundreds of thousands of parts and each mold is custom made, taking hundreds of man hours to create and test.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Below we&amp;#8217;ve included some photos of the first injection molded parts rolling off the lines. These parts won&amp;#8217;t be used for production, but instead reveal where tools need to be adjusted to ensure every part of Lockitron fits together perfectly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/7c67a1312c1f2a830eb68540d50cbb13/tumblr_inline_mlop8djsD91qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of our molds is loaded into the injection molding machine (or the &amp;#8220;injection press&amp;#8221;) for testing. The mold is the large block of steel shown in the center of the photo. To the right of the green digital screen is where the plastic is injected into the cavities of the mold.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/d457624c97a4511aab64c603827458b2/tumblr_inline_mlopalWvpa1qz4rgp.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of our injection molds is hoisted into the injection press. This mold is for one of Lockitron&amp;#8217;s internal components, a retaining ring that holds our main gear in place. Each mold weighs several hundred pounds since they are machined from solid blocks of steel.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/2edcba84070b8ab8f4662a821bd6b06f/tumblr_inline_mlopb7sE1F1qz4rgp.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The first Bluetooth button samples hot of the press. The mold has four cavities and therefore can produce four buttons with every shot. The upside-down T structure holding the buttons together is the main channel where plastic flows into the buttons. Once cooled, this is removed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/30e64e086777c58dade649dda5b9deff/tumblr_inline_mlopboqy6V1qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here are several retaining rings that hold the main Lockitron mechanism in place. There are over a dozen other parts that are specially molded for Lockitron in the same way.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Most of the components for Lockitron are well on their way towards completion. We will be getting more photos of different test shots this upcoming Monday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the moment, the delayed components are the ones responsible for driving Lockitron. Once molded, these components will need to be adjusted to ensure that noise and friction are at a minimum to increase the product&amp;#8217;s longevity and battery life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This process will take a few weeks. We will announce a ship date once we are confident Lockitron meets our (and your) high expectations. We are very close. The gear train is the last main assembly that needs to fall into place before Lockitron is ready.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/48658566818</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/48658566818</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:29:40 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Tooling and Account Activation</title><description>&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;re reporting to you this week from Zhuji, China where the plastic and metal components for Lockitron are made before being shipped to the United States for the addition of our PCB (&amp;#8220;printed circuit board&amp;#8221;) and final assembly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/e721b18d9fa503621f76a874672ef74a/tumblr_inline_mkt53sm5JM1qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cameron takes a look at the our molds being made in China. Each mold consists of two sides that are machined from a solid pieces of steel. In the center of the photo is one half of the mold where Lockitron&amp;#8217;s outer housing is made.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Zhuji is home to an eclectic mix of industries including some of the world&amp;#8217;s largest freshwater pearl farms, sock factories, and power tool manufacturers. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This last point in particular is what brought us to the region. The same firms that make the motors and housings for commercial power tools, such as angle grinders and concrete saws, are fabricating the housing and gear train for Lockitron.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Designing for longevity has been a key concern for us, which is why we have &amp;#8220;over engineered&amp;#8221; critical components to withstand the test of time and have partnered with a factory who has experience making tools that keep working, day in, day out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/80caf90bc6842351976f3ebaffcea1ba/tumblr_inline_mkt54bLzP81qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;While the tool shop may seem a bit &amp;#8220;rough and tumble,&amp;#8221; the molds themselves are cut to a very high precision using a range of processes including CNC (&amp;#8220;computer numerical control&amp;#8221;) and EDM (&amp;#8220;electrical discharge machining&amp;#8221;). Here you see the molds for some of our inner ring components.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The previous change to improve the motors performance and Lockitron&amp;#8217;s battery life means that we had to make a modification to the mold used for the metal portion of Lockitron. Molds for die casting metal are made from a harder material than those for injection molding plastic. As a result, they usually take longer to machine and adjust.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The molds for plastic are nearly complete and we should start seeing test shots from them here shortly. Mold making is an iterative process, so we expect there will be minor changes to tools as we confirm the rates at which the plastics cool and the strength of the resulting parts.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We will be back in Zhuji soon with photos of the first sample Lockitron components rolling off the lines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Activation Emails Sent&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We recently sent out an email which allowed you to activate your account. Once your account is activated, you can review your billing, shipping, color and quantity information.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We had a few bugs on the activation page, so if you had trouble setting up your account, don&amp;#8217;t worry. We will send out an additional activation email soon to everyone who has not yet set up their account.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you&amp;#8217;ve received a warning that your account email or phone number conflicts with another account, hang tight. We are currently prepping an internal tool to help us select the right email address and phone number you want on your account.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/47231565664</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/47231565664</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:09:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Under the Hood with Electric Imp</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/a1428a4b76164cfc0158e4968945baca/tumblr_inline_mk0t29VmQi1qz4rgp.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are excited to announce that inside of every Lockitron you will find an Electric Imp WiFi module. &lt;a href="http://electricimp.com/"&gt;Electric Imp&lt;/a&gt; is a brilliant little device that looks like an SD Card but in fact contains a WiFi chip that dramatically simplifies getting Lockitron onto your network. Just enter your WiFi network information into the iPhone or Android Lockitron app and hold your phone&amp;#8217;s screen up to the Lockitron.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks to Electric Imp&amp;#8217;s BlinkUp technology, your WiFi password and network information will be flashed from your phone&amp;#8217;s screen onto your Lockitron. This means you will be able to set up your Lockitron directly from our iOS or Android apps.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The inclusion of WiFi means you can control your Lockitron from anywhere in the world with no clunky cables to mess with. Other WiFi chips require an awkward two-step set up process and are costly to develop for, but the Imp has been an absolute dream to work with and lets us provide you with the best possible experience when using your Lockitron.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Take a look at what the the &lt;a href="http://blog.electricimp.com/post/45920501558/lockitron"&gt;terrific folks over at Electric Imp had to say&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/2812114065cb3ab1126fea844d68a3a2/tumblr_inline_mk0t3cvuq01qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve removed our PCB (printed circuit board) housing to reveal the Electric Imp nestled in its SD-card slot. Below the Imp is our Bluetooth Low Energy chip. Not only does it look rad, the rainbow wire bundle makes Lockitron easier to visually inspect during assembly.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Featured in the Pack Store&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lockitron is now available to reserve in the &lt;a href="http://www.packstore.com/" target="_self"&gt;Pack Store&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. The Pack Store is like the App Store, but for app-enabled hardware like Lockitron.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since we already have your reservation on file, take a look at some of the other great app-enabled hardware in the Pack Store like the &lt;a href="http://pebble.packstore.net/" target="_self"&gt;Pebble watch&lt;/a&gt; which we will be enabling you to use to unlock your door.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stay tuned for our next update in two weeks on April 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;We will be heading to China to get you an update on the creation of our injection molds.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/45921265622</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/45921265622</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:15:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Delivery Updates, Order Management Tools</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It&amp;#8217;s been a while since our last update and we wanted to give you the latest news on Lockitron&amp;#8217;s progress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Order Dashboard On the Way&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are currently working on a dashboard where you will be able to review your order as well as change your preferred Lockitron color.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Need to update your billing or shipping information?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Along with checking in on your color choice, our new dashboard will allow you to confirm your billing and shipping information. If you’ve had a credit card go missing or moved to a new place, don’t worry – we will let you change this information up until your unit is ready to ship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/3c8c38fc211cdb6fe36db50a95c9ceef/tumblr_inline_mjcwpeXlWo1qz4rgp.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Good News, Bad News, Good News&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bringing you the best possible Lockitron is a process of constant improvement. Since we last showed off Lockitron at CES, we have found ways to reduce friction in the mechanism that drives Lockitron’s unlocking and locking action.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The bad news is this requires a modification to the molds used in Lockitron&amp;#8217;s motor housing. We have just heard back from the factory, and the official word is this will delay shipment by approximately 4 weeks. Our first run of Lockitron parts should be coming off the presses in mid-April and then shipped to the U.S. for quality control, final assembly, testing and packaging. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While we hate to introduce any changes this close to release, we found this modification to be essential and will greatly increase Lockitron&amp;#8217;s longevity and result in quieter operation. It has been a very hard decision for us to make, we hope you will understand that this short-term delay will pay dividends so you may continue to use your Lockitron for many years to come.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a more positive note, the fantastic support we have received since our Selfstarter campaign closed in November has enabled us to upgrade our overall production capacity. We have since found a final assembly and fulfillment facility that can easily cope with the increased demand so we can now ship more Lockitrons more quickly. While we&amp;#8217;re not thrilled to have a delayed start, we are very glad to have a bigger &amp;#8220;engine.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Production Electronics&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The manufacturing of our PCBs (or “printed circuit board”) and the final assembly of Lockitron will be done here in California. This will let us keep a close attention to the details during the final testing and packaging stages of each Lockitron, without needing to fly halfway around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/38119fd8deaab0bcde027a5e7b8169b0/tumblr_inline_mjcwkbTdG71qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The brains of Lockitron, the PCBs, are in hand. For those folks who are more technically inclined, you can see our ATMega processor and buttons. Our Bluetooth Low Energy and WiFi modules are located on the underside of this board.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Color Updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Due to the different rate at which the various colors of Lockitrons take to cool in our mold and the additional calibration time incurred by switching between colors, we will be producing each color of Lockitron in its own run. Based on your feedback from the color survey, the first run of Lockitron units rolling off the line will be Obsidian Black, with the rest soon to follow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please look forward to our next update in two weeks on March 21st.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thank you for all of your ongoing support – we’re incredibly excited to bring Lockitron to your door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/44876357786</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/44876357786</guid><pubDate>Fri, 08 Mar 2013 11:45:58 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Lockitron New Year Updates</title><description>&lt;p&gt;At the recent 2013 Consumer Electronics Show we showed off one of the latest Lockitron prototypes. This is a fully functional prototype that communicates directly with an iPhone 4S through Bluetooth Low Energy. For those without Bluetooth Low Energy handsets, don&amp;#8217;t worry, we have our WiFi interface up and running as well.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;On the production front, we&amp;#8217;re in the process of kicking off tooling for Lockitron. This includes making injection molds, which many of the Lockitron components will be made out of, as well as finalizing placement of crucial internal components like our piezo element which will sense when someone knocks at your door.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve also made the decision to keep the final assembly of Lockitron in the United States. While costlier, we hope this will give us greater control over ensuring that each Lockitron meets the high quality control standards we expect from our manafacturing partners.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We&amp;#8217;ll be documenting much of this process for you, so stay tuned as we bring you updates on Lockitron as it enters manufacturing.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Lastly, make sure to take a look at the &lt;a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/10/hands-on-with-the-lockitron-the-easiest-way-to-control-your-houses-locks-with-a-smartphone/" target="_blank"&gt;video of Lockitron Co-Founder Cameron showing off the prototype for TechCrunch&amp;#8217;s Matt Burns&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/aadf5510879d1ce72e4bad31d8b14c24/tumblr_inline_mihrx7FH9X1qz4rgp.png"/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lockitron&amp;#8217;s iPhone App is on its Way&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;re up the finishing touches on the 2.0 release of the Lockitron app. &lt;span&gt;The new Lockitron app is a complete redesign from the original version of our iPhone app. A full facelift for our Android app is also underway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But what can you do with the app given you don&amp;#8217;t have your Lockitron yet? We&amp;#8217;ve built in a quick compatibility check feature that lets you snap a photo of your door lock and send it to us directly to us to ensure that it&amp;#8217;s Lockitron ready.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/62ae896b401268335c0b243c37f9c5ae/tumblr_inline_mihryhXLtA1qz4rgp.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&amp;#8217;s Time to Choose Your Lockitron Color&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the end of last month we sent out a form where you could select your Lockitron&amp;#8217;s color. If you missed this form, &lt;a href="mailto:hello@lockitron.com?subject=Help!%20I%20didn't%20receive%20a%20color%20selection%20form&amp;amp;body=I%20would%20like%20my%20Lockitron%20to%20be...%20%7C%20Bondi%20Blue%20%7C%20Quicksilver%20%7C%20Obsidian%20Black%20%7C" target="_blank"&gt;drop us a line and we will get you set up&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For each of the different colors, the main housing and knob will have a glossy finish, with the outer rim featuring a matte soft-touch finish. We&amp;#8217;ve chosen the pantone color of our Bondi Blue Lockitron to closely mirror the prototype shown in the video above.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Need to change your mailing address or credit card information? No problem - we will send out an additional form prior to shipping out your Lockitron that lets you confirm and edit this information.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/43522493246</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/43522493246</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:05:00 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Lockitron Holiday Update</title><description>&lt;p&gt;With 2013 just around the corner, our team has been hard at work testing and tweaking the software and hardware for our preproduction Lockitron units. We’ve been running a range of cycle and durability tests to ensure there aren’t any changes that we need to make before sending Lockitron off for production.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you can see in the photo below, the outer shell of the Lockitron pops off of the aluminum backplate to reveal Lockitron&amp;#8217;s inner components. These include our gear train, motor, batteries and circuit boards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/5494ed7714c81ef0d5e79126a6b07a60/tumblr_inline_mfitix5bkF1r3a1kr.png"/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inside the Box &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;With a beautiful, innovative product like Lockitron, we want to make sure that our packaging welcomes you to your new, keyless experience. We’re going to save the full unboxing experience for you, however, here are a couple of sneak peeks of what we’re working on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/91b996b2df56f3b8db9fffa07f2bffa1/tumblr_inline_mfitjhix0e1r3a1kr.png"/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Lockitron for Android&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We’ve had a number of questions about whether or not Lockitron will have a dedicated Android app. We are pleased to say that yes, it will! We&amp;#8217;re working on an Android app that leverages features and capabilities not available on other handsets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/7b5a4aa761cdd53108cc9160ec52de23/tumblr_inline_mfitjvv44S1r3a1kr.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Have questions that haven’t been answered? While we try to get back to all emails on a timely basis, some still slip through, so &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:hello@lockitron.com?subject=Help!%20I%20need%20my%20Lockitron%20Question%20Answered" target="_blank"&gt;feel free message us again&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; and we will be happy to help out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thank you for supporting Lockitron! We wish you a lovely holiday season for you and your loved ones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/38723495015</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/38723495015</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:06:22 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Lockitron Thanksgiving Update &amp; Black Friday Special</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class="p1"&gt;With the scent of roast turkey and pumpkin pies in the air, we wanted to give you a quick update on our progress in bringing Lockitron to your door as well as a special opportunity to get Lockitron for a great price if you missed our campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Black Friday Special - $20 Off Your Lockitron Reservation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p4"&gt;If you haven&amp;#8217;t grabbed your Lockitron yet, this weekend is the best time to! Starting tomorrow morning, for three days only, reserve a Lockitron for $159 – a $20 savings! Make sure to get your spot in line now - you won&amp;#8217;t be charged until your Lockitron is ready to ship next year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production Updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;Below we’ve included a few photos of some of the latest Lockitron prototype components. For strength and rigidity, the back of Lockitron is a single piece of aluminum. We’ve also built a number of demo stands to show off Lockitron – these are complete, working mechanical prototypes mounted on real locks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p2"&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdwm7o47CY1r3a1kr.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p3"&gt;&lt;span&gt;On the software side, the new version of the Lockitron iPhone app is nearly ready for its initial release. We’re currently working out all of the kinks and we hope to have it in the App Store soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p4"&gt;We&amp;#8217;re also redesigning our Android app to take advantage of the unique features in Android phones. The most obvious example of this is our NFC functionality that allows you to unlock your door by swiping your phone past a Lockitron NFC tag. Stay tuned for sneak peeks of the new version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We&amp;#8217;re Incredibly Thankful for your Support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p4"&gt;For our supporters in the United States, we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us replace keys.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/36341831983</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/36341831983</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Nov 2012 23:17:12 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>One Day Left to Reserve Lockitron for $149</title><description>&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Thank you for your phenomenal support over the last month - we&amp;#8217;re now above $2 million in reservations and well on our way to bringing Lockitron to your door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;If you’ve been thinking about preordering a Lockitron, now is the best time! Reservations at $149 will close in a few hours, so head to our &lt;a href="https://lockitron.com/preorder/checkout"&gt;preorder page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Over the last month we&amp;#8217;ve been working hard on some incredible updates that we are pleased to announce today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p2"&gt;First, we are excited to show you that we are working on one of the first apps for the &lt;a href="http://getpebble.com/"&gt;Pebble smart watch&lt;/a&gt;. Thanks to your Pebble, you will now be able to control your Lockitron straight from your wrist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p2"&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcu4glywJB1r3a1kr.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p2"&gt;We’ve also started work on integrating Lockitron with &lt;a href="https://ifttt.com/wtf"&gt;IFTTT&lt;/a&gt;. IFTTT will connect Lockitron to your favorite services and devices. We love IFTTT because it is really powerful - IFTTT can tweet or send you a message if your door has been unlocked for too long. Thanks to integration with other devices like the Belkin Wemo, IFTTT can even turn on your lights when you come home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Most importantly, Lockitron is opening up its cloud infrastructure for developers and makers to integrate and control their Lockitrons from anywhere thanks to its simple, &lt;a href="https://api.lockitron.com"&gt;straightforward API&lt;/a&gt;. If you are a developer, you can now integrate the full suite of Lockitron functionality into your own app, startup metric dashboard, or dream home automation setup. If you are a maker or hacker, you can now trick out how you get into the front door and blow your friends away with your fancy secret-knock detecting, wizard wand receiving, mind-control setup. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;Take a look at our awesome &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOKT5ypDo3Q"&gt;demo video&lt;/a&gt; where we show off the Pebble, IFTTT and more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lastly, stayed tuned for the television debut of the new Lockitron on Tech Toys 360 this fall - take a look at the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPKOD1FN4i0"&gt;sneak peek&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TOKT5ypDo3Q" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/34832752186</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/34832752186</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:34:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Production Updates</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thanks to all of our backers for pushing Lockitron beyond $1 million in reservations!  We’ve been working hard to get back to everyone and we thank you for your patience – we’re bringing in some help so we may answer your questions more quickly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;As we noted yesterday, we have gone far past the original 1,000 Lockitrons we intended to make in the first run. We have been very careful to hold off from selling Lockitron in bulk or wholesale quantity to ensure that individual backers have a chance to get in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;We’ve been in touch with our manufacturing partner, and to ensure that we satisfy all the backers who have supported us already in a timely fashion, we are going to restrict the first batch of Lockitrons to 9,000 units. We’re planning to start shipping batch 1 in March. &lt;strike&gt;Once batch 1 fills up, we will open up pre-orders for batch 2.&lt;/strike&gt; (Edit: batch 1 is now full. We have just opened pre-orders for batch 2.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;It will take us a few days to get a more accurate quote for the new production times, however we don’t anticipate batch 2 to begin shipping before May.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;In the coming weeks we will be posting new pictures and videos of the Lockitron mechanism in action. We’ve had a lot of questions about compatibility - of course, if you discover that your door is unfortunately incompatible with Lockitron you can cancel your reservation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/32927907961</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/32927907961</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2012 00:13:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Thank You: $500k of Reservations in One Day</title><description>&lt;p&gt;We are incredibly humbled by all of the support and that we have seen for Lockitron over the past 24 hours. We&amp;#8217;ve been overwhelmed by everyone&amp;#8217;s tweets, likes and posts - we apologize for any delays in our responses to your messages and questions. We&amp;#8217;ll do our best to respond to all of your inquiries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s a quick rundown on some of the big questions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When do I get to choose a color?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will be sending out an email that will allow you to confirm (or complete if it is missing) your address information as well as get your information for your color preference. We would like to give you the most accurate representation of what we will ship and we will include a bunch of photos then.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How big is Lockitron? Will it fit on my door?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep your lock photos coming, we promise to work through all of them before the end of reservations. Lockitron is intended to fit over a standard through-hole, cylindrical deadbolt - unfortunately this means styles of locks like mortises and dead-latches are not compatible. Interconnected cylindrical locks *may* be compatible, but you might need to do a bit more work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The dimensions for the main housing of the unit are roughly 6.7&amp;#8221; tall by 4.1&amp;#8221; wide and 1.65&amp;#8221; deep - the knob, of course sticks out a bit more. We will follow up with exact dimensions from our manufacturer here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course if at &lt;strong&gt;anytime before we ship&lt;/strong&gt; you find that you have ordered a Lockitron but it won&amp;#8217;t work on your door you can cancel your order through Amazon Payments or order a deadbolt to install above your current lock. See our &lt;a href="https://lockitron.com/help/compatibility"&gt;compatibility page&lt;/a&gt; for more help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I had some trouble placing my order. Did you receive it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We apologize for errors you may have received after placing your reservation. If you were able to submit your email address and proceed to Amazon, but then received an error after clicking &amp;#8220;Confirmation&amp;#8221;, we will contact you to confirm your shipping address.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you received duplicate order emails or have duplicate reservations, you can control them from the &amp;#8220;Edit my Account Settings&amp;#8221; link in your Amazon Payments account.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When will later Lockitron reservations ship?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we noted in our launch, we needed your help to put in a order for the first 1,000 units. Now that we are closing towards 5,000 reservations we&amp;#8217;re getting some questions on when later units will arrive. We will be in touch manufacturing partners to get a better estimate on when units will ship. We will work through orders on a first come first served basis. Again, we won&amp;#8217;t charge your card until your unit is ready to ship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How are you making Lockitron?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve been working closely with a renowned innovation and design firm who helps bring products for Fortune 500 companies to market to create and source the new Lockitron - they typically design products that end up in the hands of millions of customers. We will be keeping you updated on the production process here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you selling Lockitron to distributors?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our energies are focused first and foremost on getting Lockitron to our individual supporters, however, if you are interested in wholesaling or distributing lock, then please contact us &lt;a href="https://lockitron.com/help/sales"&gt;through our distributors page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/32821082973</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/32821082973</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Oct 2012 13:14:00 -0700</pubDate><category>lockitron</category></item><item><title>Lockitron Brings Keyless Entry to Your Front Door</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Since we launched the original Lockitron deadbolt over a year ago, we received an overwhelming amount of interest in the product. We received a tremendous amount of feedback from users on what the most valuable aspects of Lockitron were, and what needed more work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, we&amp;#8217;re incredibly proud to announce the new Lockitron. The new Lockitron is first and foremost not a door lock. Instead, it fastens securely over your existing deadbolt meaning that renters can user Lockitron too. Lockitron installs in seconds without changing your keys, so renters can use Lockitron too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve incorporated all of the same great features from our first product including the ability to control Lockitron from any phone, anywhere in the world. Lockitron still let&amp;#8217;s you invite family and friends simply by adding their email address and text message.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But we didn&amp;#8217;t stop there. Lockitron is now far more intelligent about what is happening at your door. Besides letting you confirm that your door is locked, the new Lockitron can send you a notification when a loved one returns home safely. Lockitron even comes with a built in knock sensor that will let you know when someone knocks at the door.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have an iPhone 4S or 5, Lockitron will unlock the door for you as you approach it thanks to integrated Bluetooth 4.0.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best of all, we&amp;#8217;re making the new Lockitron available for preorder at a special introductory rate of $149. However, need your help. We want to order 1,000 units for the first manufacturing run so that we can bring Lockitron to you at such a low cost. We have the design ready and we&amp;#8217;re going to order tooling soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for all of your support, and &lt;a href="https://lockitron.com"&gt;reserve your Lockitron today&lt;/a&gt;. Leave any comments and questions below and we will do our best to get to all of them.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/32733561213</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/32733561213</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Oct 2012 06:15:12 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Lockitron Android App Now Available</title><description>&lt;p&gt;The wait is over! Android Lockitron users can now download the native Lockitron application. Featuring our NFC technology, the Lockitron Android app allows you to quickly access any of your Lockitron keys.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We like the app because it loads significantly faster then our mobile website. While we recommend the app for handsets running Android 2.3+, it is compatible with Android 2.2 phones as well. To download the app, head over to &lt;a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.apigy.lockitron"&gt;the Android Marketplace&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those of you with NFC enabled handsets, we are currently working on putting together an initial batch of NFC tags to send out. All Lockitron orders that noted an NFC handset will automatically receive their NFC tags - if you didn&amp;#8217;t mention NFC in your order, simply drop us a line at &lt;a href="mailto:support@lockitron.com"&gt;support@lockitron.com&lt;/a&gt; and we will get you set up!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/18800799498</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/18800799498</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:43:00 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>In Stock and Ready to Gift</title><description>&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;re pleased to announce that we now have a limited stock of Lockitrons that are ready to ship in the coming week, just in time for the holidays.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now is the time to gift one of the most cutting edge products of the year to your friends and family - choose from any of our Lockitron variations at our &lt;a href="https://lockitron.com/account/deadbolt" target="_self"&gt;online store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are unsure about which style of Lockitron you should get, feel free to send a cell phone snapshot of your door to &lt;a href="mailto:install@lockitron.com"&gt;install@lockitron.com&lt;/a&gt; and we would be more than happy to help out.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/13602844028</link><guid>http://blog.lockitron.com/post/13602844028</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:36:00 -0800</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
