ASSA ABLOY says Spectrum Brands’ HHI division constitutes a strategically important step in developing the company’s residential business in North America.
Dealers, homebuilders and distributors will get a sneak peek at the brands’ latest products, including a new Kwikset smart lock.
Kwikset continues its affiliation with the nonprofit organization to provide smart locks and door hardware to wounded U.S. war veterans.
SSI goes in-depth with Kwikset’s Matt Zimmer to explore residential door lock solutions and other smart home trends and challenges.
The Kwikset program is geared towards helping dealers stay afloat during the pandemic and come up with creative ways to “pivot” their business to stay profitable.
With the right approach, security dealers can convince technophobic parents and homeowners they can learn to love smart locks.
The Halo from Kwikset also features SecureScreen technology that randomizes digits prior to entering a code to prevent fingerprint and code detection on the touchscreen surface.
The Halo Touch smart lock comes with the ability to program and store up to 100 fingerprints and can be remotely controlled through the Kwikset app.
The Obsidian electronic touchscreen deadbolt with Home Connect and the contemporary version of the SmartCode 916 touchscreen electronic deadbolt passed Control4 certification.
The second generation Kwikset Signature Series deadbolt with Home Connect utilizes the Z-Wave Plus 500 Series chip and is available in two different models.
