Sunnect AP501 Advanced Protection Digital Door Lock Praised in the National Locksmith Magazine as “a Dream to Install and Operate” The National Locksmith Magazine calls the AP501 “one tough residential deadbolt … built like a tank.” SPRINGFIELD, VA – January 5, 2009: Sunnect AP501 Advanced Protection digital door lock was featured in a seven-page article titled “A Completely New Design for an Electronic Deadbolt from Sunnect Inc.” by Richard Dickey in the January 2009 issue of the National Locksmith magazine. (The article can be viewed at www.SunnectLock.com/pdf/SunnectAP501-NationalLocksmith2009Jan.pdf.) After describing the major features of the AP501 such as keyless entry, auto lock, and decoy digits, as well as its standard installation procedure, Mr. Dickey details the rigorous testing conducted on the AP501 such as the 200,000-cycle test, -35°F temperature test, electro-static discharge (ESD) test, and the inspections using an x-ray microscope. Referring to a video showing the bullet test conducted on the AP501, he says “you are going to love this! [The video] should be viewed just for the ‘WOW’ factor if for no other reason.” (The bullet test video is available at www.SunnectLock.com/photo.html.) Pointing out the unique technologies used in the patent-pending door lock such as the door-closure sensor and optical sensors, Mr. Dickey states that “it’s the first stand alone door lock I have seen in a long time that really took a completely different approach in its lock design.” “It is built like a tank, is a dream to install and operate, and for what you get, has a price point that will make anyone smile.” Recommending the AP501 to fellow locksmith professionals, Mr. Dickey says “If you do any kind of stand alone lock installations, you owe it to yourself and your potential customers to take a look at the Sunnect product. I think if you do, you will be as impressed with this product as I am, and I can assure you that this one I’m keeping.” Commenting on the article, Michael Kwon, president of Sunnect, Inc. said “in his thorough review of our lock, Mr. Dickey does not come out and say the AP501 is the best lock he has seen, but he seems to prove it step by step by not only describing its features but by showing how each piece is designed and put together. We consider it a privilege that an industry-renowned professional, who could have chosen any lock, has installed our AP501 on his own home.” About the National Locksmith Magazine About Sunnect, Inc.

Sunnect’s New Digital Door Lock Chosen for the Smart Home Exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago The 8-month long exhibit, designed by WIRED Magazine and Michelle Kaufmann Designs, will showcase the Sunnect AP501 Advanced Protection digital door lock in its Resource Center SPRINGFIELD, VA - May 27, 2008: Sunnect, Inc. (www.SunnectLock.com) today announced that its new AP501 Advanced Protection digital door lock is showcased in the Smart Home: Green + Wired Exhibit Resource Center at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago (www.msichicago.org). The Smart Home features green construction and furnishings as well as the latest home technologies. WIRED Magazine (www.wired.com), who evaluated the AP501 for the exhibit, described the AP501 digital door lock as “designed to provide the highest level of security for your home.” “In my 30 years in the locksmith business, I have seen quite a few residential door locks and the Sunnect AP501 is by far the very best,” said Ken Berkley, who manages 20 service centers at Baldino’s Lock and Key. “I installed the very first AP501 we got at my own home and my family absolutely loves it! It’s so well-made we can’t find a fault in this lock.” Convenient Features The Sunnect AP501 takes full advantage of the latest digital door lock technology:
“Anyone who comes in contact with the AP501 will immediately appreciate its beautiful style and rock-solid construction. You get a sense of security and durability,” said Alex Huynh, principal at Cydus LLC who coordinated the AP501 display at the Smart Home exhibit. “Sunnect’s attention to detail is meticulous. For instance, you can enter extraneous random digits before entering your real passcode if someone might be watching you.” Physical Toughness Extraordinary toughness sets the AP501 apart from the others. The AP501 was tested at -35° F and the lock contains a bypass circuitry to withstand high-voltage attacks, up to 30,000 volts. Its motor and deadbolt latch were cycle-tested to 200,000 cycles. (If you open the door 10 times a day, it would take more than 50 years to reach 200,000 cycles.) Additionally, the AP501 has specific features to defend against physical attacks such as kicking, prying, hammering, and even sawing. For example, the throwbolt has a carbon rod embedded in its core to withstand sawing attempts. Another example is the 2.5-mm thick metal mounting plate and the mounting bracket that keep intruders from gaining access even if they somehow manage to physically break the exterior lock off the door. Calling the AP501 “tank tough,” Dennis O’Donnell, vice president of AP501.com, a Sunnect-authorized distributor who has been marketing digital door locks since 2004, said “the AP501 is the best digital door lock available today. Our partners, customers, and reviewers have all given a big thumbs-up for the AP501. The tank-tough construction is simply unforgettable.” Product Demonstration For more information or for a product sample, contact Michael Kwon at 703-501-6409 or at mkwon@SunnectLock.com.
