Kwikset SmartCode 915 Pairs Cutting Edge Technology With Unmatchable Security And Sleek Design
Starting today, homeowners can purchase and install the electronic deadbolt with patent-pending SecureScreen technology and capacitive touchscreen
LAKE FOREST, Calif., June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kwikset SmartCode 915 offers the latest innovation in security directly to homeowners. SmartCode 915 is a keyless, touchscreen deadbolt and the newest product to offer Kwikset's patent-pending SecureScreen technology to consumers.
SecureScreen technology helps prevent the problem of "smudge" attacks associated with touchscreen locks. With typical touchscreen locks, passcodes can potentially be jeopardized by unwanted guests detecting frequently used numbers and characters from the oily residues left by fingers on the touchscreen surface. With SecureScreen technology, users are prompted to touch two random numbers in order to display the full screen and enter the programmed access code. This industry-first technology encourages continuous use of the full screen to mask the correct access code.
"Kwikset continues to lead the electronic lock space by manufacturing products like SmartCode 915 with the consumer in mind that pairs cutting edge technology with the best security for the home," said Keith Brandon, vice president of residential access solutions, Kwikset. "SmartCode 915 offers consumers the full package – industry-first technology and unmatchable security housed in a very attractive product."
A lock to make your car jealous
SmartCode 915 is more than just the home's first line of security. The deadbolt, which is designed to meet homeowner demand for new and innovative technology, features a sleek touchscreen design with capacitive touch technology. The white LED display provides crisp, high-definition illumination, while a reduced interior increases aesthetic appeal. The advanced design of SmartCode 915 pairs cutting-edge technology with the best security for the home, making this lock the new status symbol.
Easy, do-it-yourself installation and programming
SmartCode 915 installs in minutes with no hard wiring required – a Phillips head screwdriver, four AA batteries and a ruler are all that's needed to install the deadbolt. SmartCode 915 is manufactured to fit standard doors and replace existing deadbolts. The deadbolt is programmable with up to 16 user codes that homeowners can assign to family members or temporary guests then delete at any time to revoke access. The deadbolt features a master code that prevents unauthorized users from adding or deleting user codes from the lock for extra security.
