PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Kevo™ Touch-to-Open Smart Lock is the second-generation Bluetooth-enabled smart lock from Kwikset®, manufacturer of smart lock products that are made for the world you live in. Kevo 2nd Gen provides the same trusted touch-to-open smart lock experience available in Kevo 1st Gen teamed with a refined user experience, sleeker design and added security features.

NEW KEVO FEATURES
Refined User Experience: Homeowners can begin using Kevo 2nd Gen within minutes of unboxing the smart lock. The lock offers homeowners the industry’s first in-app and interactive installation experience and eliminates user-initiated calibration.

Improved Design: Kevo 2nd Gen boasts a sleek, all-metal interior with a dramatically reduced interior size, making the smart lock more durable and stylish than its first generation predecessor. 

Advanced SmartKey® Security: Kevo 2nd Gen features the latest version of the Kwikset patented SmartKey security. The advanced SmartKey security provides strong resistance against forced entry techniques, passes the most stringent lock-picking standards (UL 437, par 11.6. & 11.7), and utilizes BumpGuard™ to prevent lock bumping. SmartKey also allows homeowners to reset their security by re-keying their locks quickly and easily; rendering lost, loaned or unreturned keys useless. Kevo 2nd Gen will be the first Kwikset smart lock available for purchase with the latest SmartKey security.

Flexible Platform: Kevo 2nd Gen is engineered to integrate with a wide range of smart home products to ensure homeowners can easily configure a smarter home.

TRUSED KEVO EXPERIENCE
Touch-to-Open Technology: Kevo 2nd Gen uses patented Touch-to-Open technology developed by UniKey Technologies. Touch-to-Open technology allows users to lock or unlock the door with the touch of a finger when an authorized device is within Bluetooth range. This patented technology adds a level of convenience to Kevo 2nd Gen that is unmatched by other smart locks by eliminating the need to fumble for keys.

Kevo 2nd Gen features a more powerful processor and improved technology that provides users with an improved experience all while guaranteeing simplicity of use and user security.

Positioning (Inside / Outside) Technology: Inside / Outside Technology, patent-pending intelligent positioning technology in Kevo 2nd Gen, detects whether an authorized user is inside or outside of the home before granting access to help prevent unauthorized entry.

Easy Home Management through eKeys: Easily manage home access for family, friends and guests using the eKeys in the Kevo app developed by UniKey Technologies.

• Anytime eKey holders have unlimited locking and unlocking capabilities
• Unlimited Guest eKeys allow Kevo users to send free, unrestricted access with a guest for a 24 hour period
• Scheduled eKeys allow Kevo users to set repeating date and time constraints for the eKey prior to sharing with the guest, perfect for babysitters or dog walkers

InHome Locking and Unlocking: Kevo 2nd Gen users can lock and unlock Kevo with their smart device or wearable if they are within Bluetooth range of the lock. 

Kevo Accessories and Upgrades: Kwikset continues to evolve the Kevo platform and offers consumers accessories and upgrades to the smart lock so the platform meets various consumer needs.

• Kevo Plus establishes direct, online connectivity to Kevo 2nd Gen, allowing users to lock and unlock Kevo 2nd Gen from their smart device from anywhere in the world if connected to the Internet
