A Brief Overview of Kwikset Smartcode Locks

Let’s face it–traditional keys and locks can often be a hassle. If you’ve ever had the unpleasant experience of essentially turning the house upside down in a frantic search to find your keys before leaving for work, you know how much of an inconvenience it can be to keep up with keys all the time. Fortunately, keyless locks eliminate the need for keys altogether by offering simple solutions that are far more secure than traditional locks. Electronic keyless locks in particular offer unparalleled convenience by enabling you to enter your home or business with just a few pushes of a button; no fumbling around with keys required.

One of the most prominent electronic keyless lock manufacturers today is Kwikset. The company remains on the cutting edge of electronic lock technology, and they’ve proven themselves to be leaders in home security once again with the introduction of their SmartCode family of electronic keyless locks. Below is a brief overview of Kwikset’s latest SmartCode keyless locks, along with a handful of highlighted features for each individual model.

The Kwikset SmartCode 913 Touchpad Electronic Deadbolt

This exceptionally strong yet quiet electronic keyless deadbolt lock can replace any conventional deadbolt, and is remarkably easy to install–all you need is a screwdriver, and you’re in business. The Kwikset SmartCode 913 features one-touch locking for optimal convenience; press the button that has the lock insignia, and you have successfully secured your home or office. The lock will automatically engage after 30 seconds of the door being shut, ensuring additional peace of mind, especially for those of us who may be more forgetful when it comes to locking our doors behind us.

With the Kwikset SmartCode 913, you have the flexibility of being able to establish 16 different customizable access codes, as well as a Master Code for added security. As far as home protection goes, the Kwikset SmartCode 913 is a formidable burglar deterrent, as it features a patented side locking bar technology that prevents your lock from being compromised by picking or bumping. In addition, the back-lit 10-digit keypad provides you with added convenience for quick and easy nighttime entries.

The Kwikset SmartCode 911 Touchpad Electronic Lever Keyless Lock

This high-security residential keyless entry device allows you to replace your current doorknob or handle in 5-10 minutes, with only a screwdriver required for installation. With the Kwikset SmartCode 911, you can create your own passcodes from well over a million different possible combinations, and once you have your code, all you need to do is enter it into the keypad, turn the lever, and you’re home free. To lock the device, simply press the lock button one time and your home or office is secured.

The ultra-convenient usability of the Kwikset SmartCode 911 makes it the perfect choice for families with kids; your children can learn how to operate the lock in no time flat. Provide them with their own passcode, and you they’ll be able to quickly and safely enter the house when they get home from school. Once your kids are safely inside, the Kwikset SmartCode 911 will lock behind them within 30 seconds of the door being shut to ensure their security. The Kwikset SmartCode 911 also includes BumpGuard technology to prevent intruders from gaining access to your home via lock bumping.

The Kwikset 909 Signature Series SmartCode Deadbolt

The Kwikset 909 offers many features that are similar to the 913 and 911 models including one-touch locking, a back-lit keypad, automatic locking and customizable access codes. This innovative lock is not only an excellent choice due to its intuitive usability, but its stylish arched design will complement a variety of home decor styles as well. You don’t have to worry about having a lock that only looks good on one side, either; the interior housing of the Kwikset 909 is just as attractive as its front housing. Aside from looks, the Kwikset 909 delivers robust protection as well; it’s bump and pick proof, weather resistant and exceptionally tough.
