Our verdict

A secure touchscreen deadbolt for homes already running a Zigbee hub such as a compatible Echo or SmartThings. Without that hub, the remote features do not work.

Overview

Kwikset pairs a back-lit touchscreen keypad with a motorized deadbolt here, and a Zigbee radio lets a compatible hub lock it, check it and send alerts. A SmartKey cylinder serves as the backup keyway and can be re-keyed at home.

Zigbee ties the lock into Echo, SmartThings and alarm panels people already own, and the grade of the bolt suits exterior doors. It needs that hub; a phone alone cannot talk to it.

Who it's for

Owners of a compatible Echo, SmartThings hub or Zigbee alarm panel who want the front door in their routines. Homes with no hub should choose a Wi-Fi lock instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Touchscreen hides fingerprint smudges
  • Re-key the cylinder yourself
  • Motorized one-touch locking
  • Works with several Zigbee hubs
Cons
  • Zigbee hub required for remote use
  • No fingerprint reader
  • Single cylinder only

Performance notes

Remote locking and status reports depend on the Zigbee hub and how strongly it reaches the door. At the door, SecureScreen hides the code smudges on the glass, and the motorized bolt throws with a single touch.
