Kwikset SmartKey Deadbolts protect against lock bumping by featuring, BumpGuard, a patented side-locking bar technology, central to the locks’ ability to be rapidly and easily re-keyed. Delivering outstanding strength and protection, SmartKey Deadbolts and Locks have passed the most stringent lock picking standard, UL 437, par. 11.6.
Kwikset SmartCode products are quick and easy to install, requiring no hardwiring. The SmartCode electronic lever allows homeowners to program a personal code between four and eight digits on the lock’s touchpad. Homeowners can also assign a temporary code to multiple users with the ability to delete and reprogram as needed. This feature makes it easy to provide a babysitter, dog watcher or house cleaner access to the home for a short period of time without putting its long-term security at risk. And for additional peace of mind and security, SmartCode products feature SmartKey re-key technology as the back-up keyway.
