Black & Decker is to launch a "state-of-the-art remote wireless residential access control solution" that could see you locking your front door remotely.

Black & Decker's motorised electronic deadbolts can be locked and unlocked remotely, with no direct human interaction so are angled as ideal for those "did I lock the door?" moments when you're nearly at the airport...

Due to launch in the New Year, we'll bring you more information when the solution sees its official launch.
