KWIKSET ADDS THREE NEW SMART LOCKS TO AMAZON KEY HOME KIT

LAKE FOREST, Calif. (April 5, 2018) – Kwikset®, a brand of Spectrum Brands, Inc. – Hardware & Home Improvement Division (HHI), added three new smart lock solutions to Amazon Key Home Kit, including its sleek keyway-less smart lock, Obsidian™(Amazon Key Edition). With these additions, Kwikset now offers five smart lock solutions as part of Amazon Key Home Kit providing homeowners and renters with convenience, security and style at every turn.

 

Amazon Key Home Kit enables keyless entry and remote door monitoring. Homeowners and renters with the service can use the dedicated Amazon Key App for remote locking and unlocking, viewing motion video clips of a person entering or leaving when the door is locked or unlocked, and sharing home access with temporary, recurring or always access schedules for guests. Amazon Key users who are also Amazon Prime members in 37 cities and surrounding areas across the U.S. can opt-in to in-home delivery, as well.

 

Amazon Key Editions of Kwikset Obsidian, Kwikset Convert, SmartCode™ 916 Traditional, SmartCode 916 Contemporary and SmartCode 914 are five options that customers can choose from when purchasing an Amazon Key Home Kit, which is available now with the Amazon Cloud Cam.

 

Why Choose Kwikset? Kwikset, the number one selling residential door hardware manufacturer in the U.S, offers Amazon Key users unique security features not available in other smart locks like SecureScreen™ technology. SecureScreen is a Kwikset-patented security feature that helps prevent unwanted entry and is only available with touchscreen locks from Kwikset such as Obsidian and SmartCode 916. With SecureScreen, users are promoted to touch two random digits prior to entering the access code to prevent fingerprint and code detection on the touchscreen surface.
