Kwikset launches SmartCode Signature Series

Kwikset, a leader in innovative door hardware, has launched its next generation keyless entry deadbolt - the SmartCode Signature Series.  The result of more than 10 years of functional testing and consumer feedback, the new SmartCode Signature Series features a smaller and sleeker touchpad design, adding style to any door while completely eliminating the hassle of carrying or fumbling for keys. Additionally, the new brightly lit keypad provides safer, more convenient evening home access. "Customers of the original SmartCode loved the convenience of not having to worry about their keys, but expressed a desire for a more feature-rich product with a design that would better complement the style of their home," said Brent Flaharty, vice president of marketing, Kwikset.  "We are continually driven by our customers to push ahead in our products' innovation, style and functionality. This new series is a great representation of those efforts, and is only the tip of the iceberg as we continue to progress in new areas of innovation including residential access control, the next level of ultimate security and control."
