Lake Forest, California (PRWEB) March 8, 2010

Kwikset, an innovation leader in the residential door hardware industry, right now announced the expansion of its keyless, touchpad, electronic lock product offering with the introduction of the SmartCode Lever. Designed with a sleek style to complement your home’s interior, you can lock your residence office, wine cellar, storage room, or any other entryway and in no way once more have to be concerned about carrying a key.

To gain entry, just input your personalized code. Locking is even less difficult, with the basic touch of 1 button. SmartCode also is effortless to install, program and use, and operates on four AA batteries so there is no hard wiring required. It also features SmartKey re-key technology with BumpGuard protection as the back-up keyed entry program. SmartKey is the first affordable re-keyable lock available to the homeowner. It permits homeowners to re-key their lock anytime in a matter of seconds with out removal from the door for improved security and the ultimate in convenience.

“Now homeowners can achieve greater total house security, convenience and design consistency with the high-security SmartCode Deadbolt for the front door, and the SmartCode Lever for the door from the garage to the property, the residence office, and other conventional knob or lever internal entryways,” said Krista Weigand, item manager, Residential Access Solutions, Black &amp Decker Security Hardware Division.

Just like Kwikset’s SmartCode Deadbolt, SmartCode Levers permit homeowners to develop special codes for each and every individual requiring access to the room or house. “They can create temporary codes for the housekeeper or other visitors in the morning just before leaving for work, and then disable those codes in the evening, generating unauthorized access by temporary users virtually impossible.

SmartCode Levers fit all regular door preps without requiring new screw holes. Offered in 3 finishes, Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze and Polished Brass, the SmartCode’s brightly-lit keypad also offers convenient access in low-light. The SmartCode Lever provides extra convenience and security via an automatic door locking feature with 30-second delay that can be activated or deactivated at the homeowner’s discretion. Kwikset gives a lifetime warranty on the mechanics and finish of the lock and there is a 1 year electronic warranty.

The House Connect Technologies product differs in that it is a wireless, ZigBee or Z-Wave enabled lock that can be locked or unlocked remotely via cell phone or the Net from virtually anywhere, without any human interaction.
