TL;DR: Through August 24, you can get the BOSMA Aegis Smart Door Lock for just $79.99 with code SMARTLOCK — that's a 16% discount.


Your dorm room is a new space for you. It may not be dangerous, but you might feel a little vulnerable living somewhere new. However, even if there’s nothing to worry about, you might be able to make your new digs feel a little safer with a smart lock that’s easy to install.

The Bosma Aegis Smart Door Lock attaches directly to the deadbolt on your door and gives you (and any roommates) more control over your security. During this Back to Education sale now through August 24, the BOSMA Aegis is on sale for $79.99 (Reg. $119) with coupon code SMARTLOCK.

Lock your dorm room door from your phone 

If your dorm has a deadbolt and you have a screwdriver, then you likely can install the Bosma Aegis with little trouble. All you have to do is unscrew the face of your deadbolt on the inside of your door. Use the included mounting materials, then attach your smart lock. Once it’s attached and paired with the Bosma App (for Android or iOS), you could have more control over your dorm room security

That control includes granting guest access. If your parents are visiting, give them a temporary passcode to get into your room. If you leave your door ajar, the six-axis sensor on the Aegis should be able to sense it and send you an alert to shut your door. If someone tries to break in, your lock can trigger an automatic siren to notify you immediately. Plus, your key will still work with the door, so you won't get locked out if the batteries on your smart lock dies.
