TEO: The future of the padlock is here.

TEO has unlocked a better way to manage your keys and therefore, we're happy to say, your life.

We have built TEO, the world's very first key-less padlock system, that you can open, close, access and share with a simple touch of your smartphone. Anytime and anywhere you happen to be.

With TEO, your smartphone is now your keys.

With TEO, your smartphone is now your keys.

Why you need TEO . . .

We all have padlocks in our lives. On our bikes, on our sheds, on our lockers at school and at the gym. All these padlocks need to be opened and closed when you want and by who you want.

If you're away from school, give your buddy access to get you what you need from your locker.

Just imagine all the possibilities for TEO . . .

Your rental properties. Your gates at work. All those padlocks at your commercial construction site or remote industrial location.

What we don't need in this day and age are keys.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) technology is at our fingertips . . .

With TEO, you're the locksmith. Your smartphone is the key.

The uses for TEO are limitless.

Why we like TEO . . .

You're busy and keeping track of all your physical keys takes a lot of time and effort.

TEO gives you convenience, access and peace of mind.

You can share TEO one time or all the time.

Anytime or every time. It's your decision and it's at your fingertips.

Convenience: With TEO, your smartphone or other Bluetooth enabled device IS the key. With just a touch of the TEO app on your smartphone, TEO unlocks. Touch the app again. It's locked. All your keys on one app on your phone. Your life is already getting simpler.

Your buddy Mike may need to get into your shed to borrow your lawn mower just once and you're at the game, so you can't be there to unlock the shed for him. With your smartphone, you can send Mike permission to unlock TEO. The grass is already greener!

Access: With your smartphone, TEO lets you send permissions to a number of different people to open and close your various padlocks. These people, whether they are friends, family members, clients or employees can have different levels of access.

The key to convenience, access and peace of mind is at your fingertips with TEO.

Your employee Amanda is showing your clients four properties around town. But you have 20 properties and the keys all look the same. With TEO, you can give Amanda access to those four properties for an hour, for a day or for a week - right from your desk. She can have access one time or all the time. Giving you more time to get more clients. Now that's taking care of business!

Peace of Mind: With TEO, you control who has access and for how long. And TEO's not just good looking. It's designed to be a rugged, yet compact, spring-loaded padlock and will be manufactured by a proven supplier of high-performance technology products.

You run a big company. You have hundreds of employees. Staff turnover is to be expected, that's just part of your day. So when Josh, one of your employees with access to your company's padlocks leaves your employ, with your Bluetooth enabled device featuring the TEO app, you are the locksmith and can enable, or in Josh's case, disable lock privileges electronically. TEO just became the most valuable member of your team! 

TEO is ideal for all your commercial and industrial applications.

The Tech: How TEO works . . .

TEO is the first keyless padlock that you can unlock, lock, access and share with our app on your smartphone or other Bluetooth enabled device.

Hardware: Form3 Design in Vancouver, BC has designed TEO to be a rugged yet compact, spring-loaded padlock. TEO will be manufactured by Heliox Technologies in Newark, California, a proven supplier of high performance technology products.

Electronics: TEO's Bluetooth Low Energy technology is inherently secure and adheres to international standards and compliance requirements. It also has a proprietary chipset designed specifically for TEO - designed from day one to be electronically secure.

Software: We've been working on TEO for two years now and are currently working to develop a proprietary module for use in TEO. Our prototypes use standard BTLE chipsets, which provide a number of features and our production unit will feature firmware and software optimized for TEO.

TEO's design story . . .

TEO's Enterprise space . . .

Anywhere you have a padlock, you can have TEO and we're really excited about what TEO's software offers you . . .

You can keep track of who has access, when, where and for how long:

You can keep tabs on TEO by location:

 TEO's suite of monitoring information is at your fingertips:

We have spent significant time developing the feature set and road map for the software and verified capability. A decision was made in July 2013 to pursue an alternative BTLE chipset with features specific to TEO. This approach was selected to allow for the inclusion of specific TEO features in firmware, including energy management and serial number tracking.

The current app provides testing and limited operation, including searching and finding locks, selecting locks, locking and unlocking, timing and duration, battery strength and signal strength.

TEO's timeline . . . 

To sum TEO up . . .

You can share access to your TEO keyless padlock with others:

• One time.
• On a time limited basis.
• On a license limited basis.
• Numerous times (or all the time).

TEO's app functions:

• Lock and unlock.
• Battery life gauge.
• Alarm.
• Re-key provision.
• Password and code access to others.
• QR code to give you information about your TEO.
• Password set.
• Location information.

Support:

• Lost password.
• Re-key provision.
• Mechanical failure.
• Power issues.

We need your help . . . 

TEO is an adventure, and we want you to come along for the ride.

We started with a dream to make life more convenient and less stressful. After almost two years of development, from hardware to software to web apps, we are nearly ready to manufacture a product we really think you'll love.

But we need your invaluable feedback. We also need the capital to produce a first batch of TEOs on our own. 

By being one of the first to get a TEO, you will help us make TEO a reality. Each and every person that backs us is going to make the difference.

Thank you . . .

In order to take TEO through the design to manufacture phase and ship TEO to you, we need to be able to produce a minimum of 5,000 units.

That's where you come in because we can only "unlock the magic" of TEO with your commitment and support.

Thank you in advance from all of us at team TEO.

We encourage you to come along for the ride!

Risks and challengesLearn about accountability on Kickstarter

There is always a risk when producing a product that combines both electronic hardware and software. So we have done everything to reduce it to a minimum before launching TEO here on Kickstarter.

We have a lock that works and the patent is pending.

The hardware used by the current version of TEO is a proven, tested hardware. The main risks concerning hardware are thus reduced to logistics. Unplanned delays in the manufacturing process can still occur, but problems related to the hardware design of the device are very unlikely.

On the software side, we're currently working with a manufacturer to develop a proprietary module for use in TEO. Our prototypes use standard BTLE chipsets, which provide a number of features and our production unit will feature firmware and software optimized for TEO. We are confident we can do it during the next 12 months.

TEO is battery operated and batteries go dead. Our team is working on a TEO Fob, which is currently in development. Stay tuned.
