Innovate Utah NEW IDEAS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FROM UTAH COMPANIES

Wellsville-based RVLock, a manufacturer of locks for recreational vehicles, has launched the RVLock Atlas, a keyless entry solution for Class A RVs.

“Customers have been asking us to develop this product for years,” said RVLock inventor, founder and CEO Cade Harris. “Developing a universal handle that is simple to install for motorhome doors that vary from rig to rig is extremely complex. We created multiple prototypes before perfecting the Atlas and making it ready for customers to install themselves.{mprestriction ids="1,3"} RVLock has been America’s preferred RV security solution since we invented the keyless handle in 2010.”

The Atlas joins the existing Class C Charter as the first Class A entry handle of its kind, making locking and unlocking Class A rigs possible with the push of a button. RVers gain keyless access to their vehicle through an integrated keypad, a key fob or smartphone using RVLock’s BT Pro+ for Bluetooth functionality with the RVLock app.

“To think the idea of RVLock all started when my tool trailer was broken into is remarkable,” Harris said. “Every time we drive down the road and see our keyless handle on a family’s trailer, we can’t help but feel proud that we are helping protect what matters most to people.”

The RVLock Atlas will be sold exclusively at RVLock.com and will start shipping to customers on Sept. 30, Harris said.

With Balance Money that is all a thing of the past. The app will calculate in real time what is safe to spend,” a Balance Money release said. The experience is based on spending habits and provides a path to financial health.

The product-focused forum is the official community for Filevine’s more than 25,000 users, the company said. “Filevine is a powerful and robust platform that is being used in a multitude of ways across our vast user base.
