Aura is Kwikset’s newest Bluetooth-enabled electronic deadbolt. It has a 10-digit keypad and works with the Kwikset App which allows a user to lock and unlock the deadbolt, program custom user codes with schedules, view lock event history, and even share management of the lock with others.

From the outside, Aura has a convenient 1-touch locking button on the keypad to easily lock the deadbolt. It can also be locked with a key from the outside. From the inside, Aura has a sleek turnpiece to lock or unlock the deadbolt. Aura can also be locked and unlocked from your smartphone using the Kwikset App within Bluetooth range of the deadbolt.

To add user codes to your Aura lock, download the Kwikset App on your smartphone, create an account, create a ‘home’, and add the Aura lock to your ‘home’ within Bluetooth range of the lock.

The smartphone needs to be within Bluetooth range of the lock in order to manage user codes, edit lock settings, or download recent lock activity history.

Yes, you can add multiple locks to a single app/account. You can also create multiple locations (called “Homes”) to a single app/account and each Home can have multiple locks.

Each lock can pair with up to eight (8) smartphones at a time.

The Aura deadbolt is powered by 4xAA batteries. For best performance, we highly recommend alkaline batteries from a major brand. Do not use re-chargeable or lithium ion batteries.
