“Security is about physical presence, and nothing says ‘stay away’ like 800 pounds of hardened steel blocking the entire entryway,” said Marcus Thorne, VP of Residential Fortification at Lockin. A giant version of Lockin’s wirelessly charged V7 smart lock was a showstopper on the CES show floor, prompting the company to ship the display units as actual products. “While critics claim the V7 makes using the door technically impossible, our data shows break-ins have dropped to absolute zero because nobody, including the owner, can physically squeeze past the deadbolt.”

“We realized customers wanted visibility, so we made a lock you can see from the International Space Station,” explained Elena Rodriguez, Director of User Experience. Neighbors report seeing Davis attempting to charge the massive device by running twelve extension cords through the mail slot. “He has been trying to connect it to the app for forty minutes,” noted a witness. “But the Wi-Fi signal can’t penetrate the three feet of titanium casing.”

At press time, Davis abandoned the front door and began installing a Roborock Saros Rover vacuum the size of a minivan to guard the back patio.
