Kwikset, a trusted leader in residential security, has announced an expanded lineup of connected home solutions launching this fall. The new products include the Kwikset FLEX Smart Garage Door Opener, the Halo Select Plus deadbolt, and additional style variants of the Halo Select. These innovations aim to make every entry point in the home smarter, more convenient, and more secure.
The Kwikset FLEX Smart Garage Door Opener marks the company's first entry into the garage access category. Available in two models, the FLEX offers connected convenience, robust security, and flexible control. Homeowners can operate their garage doors remotely through the Kwikset app or from their vehicles using Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or HomeLink. The FLEX 800 model features a three-quarter horsepower motor with long-lasting LED lighting, while the FLEX 1000B offers a one-horsepower motor, brighter lighting, and a built-in battery backup for uninterrupted operation. Both models include quiet operation, installer-friendly features, and Kwikset's patented anti-theft door release, which helps prevent forced entry.
According to Jeff Sandoval, director of electronics marketing at Kwikset, the FLEX is an important extension of the company's single-family electronics portfolio, complementing its family of connected products to deliver a complete residential access control solution.
Kwikset is also expanding its popular Halo portfolio with the introduction of the Halo Select Plus, a smart lock that supports home keys in Apple Wallet and Matter. With a simple tap of an iPhone or Apple Watch, homeowners can unlock their doors quickly and securely. Priced at $342, the Halo Select Plus builds on the features of the original Halo Select, including remote access via the Kwikset app, built-in Wi-Fi, keyless entry with schedulable access codes, a discreet door status sensor, and real-time event log and tamper alerts. The lock integrates with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Home for voice commands and automations, with optional Matter over Thread connectivity.
To offer more design flexibility, Kwikset is expanding the original Halo Select line with new style variants. The Halo Select will now be available in a Contemporary style, available through Amazon, Lowe's, and other retailers, and a Soft Modern style, launching exclusively at The Home Depot. These join the existing Transitional style, with the new variants priced at $298.
The Kwikset FLEX Smart Garage Door Opener will begin rolling out in select U.S. markets in mid-October, followed by nationwide availability in November. Halo Select Plus and the new Halo Select variants will be available through major retailers this fall. For more information, visit kwikset.com.
