Production and Shipping Information

Status as of December 2016

Lockitron Bolt

…all remaining backer Lockitrons have completed production (along with a few extras!).

In the later update:

…the thousands of Lockitrons we have manufactured for you have just arrived stateside. With the Bolts in the U.S. it’s only about one more week before tracking numbers start showing up for the remaining U.S. Lockitron backers.

Lockitron Bridge

Unfortunately significant delays in the production of the replacement chip meant Bridge held up many of our backer orders…we will ship most of the remaining domestic backer orders with Bridge; when we run out of units we will ship Bolt first, followed by Bridge later.

Bolt Keypad - Coming Soon
