Kwikset, the leader in residential security, announces the availability of its new line of Signature Series Deadbolt Locks with Home Connect™ technology. Utilising the popular Kwikset single-cylinder deadbolt as its foundation, this is the ideal lock for the first-time homebuyer or homeowners who want to experience the safety and peace of mind of a Home Connect solution.

Z-Wave Wireless Protocol

The new motorized deadbolts utilize the Z-Wave™ wireless protocol to enable true remote locking and unlocking. This allows homeowners to remotely access and control the lock from anywhere in the world, using a smartphone, tablet or Internet connected device. As a result, they can lock a door while traveling for work or vacation, and can also remotely provide access to their home to service providers, guests or other family members. Users of this new lock can also attain valuable information through their smart phone, and have the peace of mind of knowing whether a door is locked or unlocked.

SmartKey Re-key Technology

Kwikset’s Signature Series Deadbolt with Home Connect offers other advanced features for maximum security and convenience, including Kwikset’s patented SmartKey® re-key technology, allowing homeowners to re-key their locks in seconds without removing the lock from the door; and BumpGuard™ technology that protects homeowners from lock bumping. Plus the lock’s revolutionary tapered deadbolt design enables misaligned doors to lock without pulling and pushing a door shut.

Signature Series Also Features

The Signature Series Deadbolt with Home Connect also features: BHMA Grade 2 Certification, ensuring top quality durability; UL Certification with a 20-minute fire rating; and full 128-bit encryption security. Remarkably easy to install, Kwikset’s Signature Series Deadbolts with Home Connect replace existing door hardware with just a screwdriver, requires no hard wiring, and operate on 4 AA batteries that will last for approximately one year.

It is currently available through security and consumer electronics professional distribution outlets.
