Overview
Locking up without keys means tapping a code, and the deadbolt can lock itself after a delay you set. Kwikset adds SmartKey so you can re-key the cylinder yourself, plus an intrusion alarm after repeated wrong codes.
Certified security, auto-lock and many codes cover most family and rental needs without Wi-Fi. Remote access and app control are absent, so codes cannot be changed from afar.
Who it's for
Families, rentals and anyone tired of carrying keys suit a keypad. Those wanting smart home integration need a connected lock.
Pros and cons
- Grade 2 BHMA security
- Many user and guest codes
- Re-key yourself with SmartKey
- Intrusion alert and vacation mode
- No app or remote access
- Batteries not included
- Codes managed at the keypad only
- No fingerprint option
Performance notes
The bolt throws on code entry or after the auto-lock timer, so the door secures itself even if forgotten. SmartKey guards against advanced break-in techniques and can be re-keyed in seconds with the learn tool. Three wrong codes lock the keypad briefly to slow guessing.
