July 2025 was a milestone moment for Elocksys. We proudly participated in the International Door Association’s (IDA) annual Product Innovation Showcase, and were honored with the prestigious 2025 IDA Product Innovation Award for our flagship product: the Garage Door Lock.
This recognition is more than just an award. It’s a testament to our mission: making homes and communities safer by securing one of the most vulnerable entry points, the garage door.
Why IDA Matters to the Door Industry?
The International Door Association (IDA) is the global standard-bearer for the door and access systems industry. Each year, their Product Innovation Showcase brings together the industry’s most influential professionals to evaluate cutting-edge products.
Winning an IDA Product Innovation Award signals that a product has been tested, reviewed, and endorsed by a panel of industry-leading dealers and decision-makers.
For our customers, partners, and dealers, this award is reassurance that Elocksys delivers on its promise of innovation, performance, and originality.
The Elocksys Garage Door Lock: Award-Winning Security
Our patented Garage Door Lock is an automatic deadbolt system designed to integrate seamlessly with most existing garage door openers. Key features include:
- Automatic locking: engages a sturdy deadbolt every time your door closes.
- LED closure indicator: visible warning light to show the door is secure.
- Wireless convenience: exterior keypad, car remote, and wall console included.
- No new Garage door opener needed: retrofit to your current garage setup.
As the IDA judges noted, our product is “life-improving” , enhancing safety and providing peace of mind.
Why We Do What We Do?

Our automatic deadbolt lock helps stop that by making forced entry harder, riskier, and more visible. It’s a strong layer of defense that tells intruders: this garage won’t be easy.
Today, thousands of homes rely on the Elocksys Garage Door Lock to protect what matters most.
