King of Diamonds| HAVEN

It has been said that innovation is born in battle, which may be linked to the fact that some of the greatest advances in human history have been a result of conflict. It was his time in combat, nine deployments to be exact, that U.S. Army veteran and Special Operations helicopter pilot Alex Bertelli discovered his big idea. He learned how the enemy would do simple things to fortify their homes or compounds, one of which was welding a steel bar at the bottom of a door. He was reminded of this upon returning home when a string of break-ins were occurring in his neighborhood. So he researched products that might resemble what he knew were difficult to penetrate in combat—yet none were on the market. The industry, consumers, have long relied on a mechanism that simply is not effective—the deadbolt lock.

In 2014, Alex founded HAVEN, a security technology company that is disrupting the industry with locks that are 10x stronger than your deadbolt. Tested by special operations veterans who leverage technology, HAVEN uses military-grade materials—stamped steel to woven nylon—and offers sought-after product lines used in both residential and commercial buildings.

From their website: The HAVEN Mech and HAVEN Connect lines are floor-mounted, pedal-activated home security locks that utilize a wedge design to prevent intruders. And the HAVEN Connect can be activated remotely via a special-designed smartphone app or key fob to be utilized at your preference. The HAVEN Lockdown is another HAVEN product that is poised to change the way the world sees classroom security. Working with strategic partners, we’ve brought to market a solution for the active-shooter scenario. Controlled locally or remotely, the HAVEN Lockdown adds the layer of security that our schools and businesses desperately need.

More than merely purchasing a product that has a reputation for its strength, longevity, and ease of use, consumers of HAVEN products are also buying a veteran-owned and -operated, Made in America solution. Now available with online retailers Amazon and Home Depot, these new strategic partnerships are an indicator that this company is well on its way to helping people protect what matters most.

HAVEN is a frontline leader that should be on your list of most-wanted businesses to support in 2018.
