Of course, the “Wet Bandits” are just fictional, but the fact is, holiday travel provides an opportunity for burglars.
While homeowners may envision burglars creeping around trying to get in a hidden window under the blanket of night, most burglars attempt an entry or back door first, in broad daylight. But a new product developed by a local family is designed to stop burglars from accessing a home through front or back doors.
“BeeStop is our modern interpretation of the old chain-lock system,” said Shane Cooper, co-founder and COO of BeeStop and current student at Arizona State University W.P. Carey School of Business, where he is studying entrepreneurship. “We wanted to develop a product that can protect and empower homeowners and their families, help them feel safe while in their homes, and give them peace of mind when they are away.”
Cooper developed the BeeStop Unit with brothers Harrison and Bailey and their dad, Mitchell. BeeStop is a multi-position security lock that offers executive-level protection. Easy to use, this modern safety solution gives users absolute control over their safety from within their home and via remote control.
The BeeStop Unit offers three simple modes—Stow Mode, Pass-Thru Mode and Deadbolt Mode. Stow Mode allows users to fully open their door when the device is not in active use. In this position, the BeeStop Unit is discreetly stowed to the side, maintaining the aesthetic of the door and enabling unrestricted access.
Pass-Thru Mode restricts the door to open a customizable maximum of eight inches to verify a guest or receive packages and home delivery orders while still providing protection. This feature offers modern security for modern needs, allowing interaction without vulnerability.
Deadbolt Mode offers complete reinforcement that adds more than 1,000 pounds of force resistance to a door, protecting those inside. Beyond providing protection from intruders, Deadbolt Mode is ideal for families with young children. It prevents unsupervised access to pools and outdoor spaces. It is also helpful in keeping elderly adults with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease from straying unknowingly.
If an intruder tries to force their way in, BeeStop produces a loud siren and flashing red LED lights, startling the intruder and giving the homeowner time to call 911. Panic Mode can be triggered from the remote, signaling the alarms and flashing lights.
BeeStop can also be used to protect outdoor areas such as garages and sheds that have a structural header.
Shane and other members of the Cooper family are available for news story interviews and live television segments during which they can demonstrate how the BeeStop Unit works.
