Kwikset to Introduce Halo Select, Company’s Groundbreaking Solution for Total Control of the Front Door

Introduction of Halo Select™ seamlessly combines convenience, connectivity and security for modern homeowners 

LAKE FOREST, Calif. – Oct. 21, 2024 – Kwikset®, a leader in residential security and a brand of the ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Division, today announced the upcoming launch of Halo Select, a smart lock designed to meet the growing demand for seamless control, connectivity and security at the front door.

As a comprehensive solution, Halo Select offers both Wi-Fi and Matter compatibility, filling a crucial gap in the market for homeowners seeking reliable, integrated smart home devices. Kwikset recently teased this new innovation at the Samsung Developer Conference earlier this month.

Available through the Kwikset app, Halo Select allows users to control their front door from anywhere, whether locking or unlocking, all without traditional keys. The lock also integrates geofence technology, automatically unlocking the door as the user returns home. Its easy-to-use RGB status icon and dedicated keypad indicators make interaction simple and intuitive.

“Halo Select represents the next step in Kwikset’s mission to provide homeowners with unmatched security and seamless control over their front doors,” said Jeff Sandoval, senior director of product marketing at Kwikset. “By offering both Wi-Fi and Matter compatibility, Halo Select fills a critical gap in the market, providing a versatile, integrated solution that simplifies home access without sacrificing safety. We’re excited to bring this innovation to market and continue delivering products that reflect the evolving needs of today’s connected homes.”

Homeowners can share access with family or trusted guests, with real-time notifications ensuring they stay informed about who’s coming and going. The built-in door status sensor confirms the door is properly closed, while instant notifications alert users to any potential security issues.

Designed for ease of installation, Halo Select can be installed with just a screwdriver and features an interactive guided setup. With more than 75 years of experience, Kwikset remains a trusted name in home security.

Looking ahead, Kwikset is preparing to launch Halo Select Plus, which will include Apple Home Key integration, providing even more flexibility for users seeking advanced smart home control.

Kwikset’s Halo Select will be available in Kwikset’s warehouse starting today, with professional channel distributors and dealers receiving the product shortly after. Lowe’s is expected to stock the product both online and in stores in mid-November.
