Kwikset®, a trusted pioneer in residential security and a registered trademark of ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc., an ASSA ABLOY Group Company, announced the upcoming launch of Halo Select, a smart door lock designed to provide a convenient and versatile security solution for the home.
Halo Select stands out by offering both Wi-Fi and Matter built-in for homeowners seeking flexible, reliable, and integrated smart home security. Choose the connection method that suits the best, and easily switch if the smart home needs to evolve. With the Kwikset app and built-in Wi-Fi (no hub required), Halo Select empowers them to control their front door from anywhere – lock, unlock, and even grant access to guests, all without traditional keys.
Homeowners can share access with family or trusted guests through unique codes or in-app, with real-time notifications ensuring they stay informed about who’s coming and going. The lock also integrates geofence technology to intelligently unlock as they approach their home.
By incorporating Matter over Thread, Halo Select integrates seamlessly with all compatible smart home platforms and devices, so they can simplify their life with smart security automations. With Kwikset’s in-app compatibility check and guided setup, the transition to Matter is also simple and stress-free.
Halo Select redefines smart lock excellence by combining thoughtful design with trusted security and technology. Its bright, user-friendly touchscreen features dedicated keypad indicators, ensuring user interactions are seamless and intuitive. The lock’s subtle and easy-to-install door status sensor confirms the door is properly closed and has not been left ajar, while instant notifications alert users to any potential security issues such as invalid code attempts or lock tampering.
Halo Select features Kwikset’s new quiet and powerful motor for a swift locking and unlocking experience. Plus, Halo Select is third-party tested to meet the highest BHMA Grade AAA standards and UL 20-minute fire rating for added peace of mind.
Halo Select’s DIY installation is simple, requiring only a screwdriver, while the interactive in-app guide streamlines the process and provides clear hardware installation steps. No hardwiring required, the lock is powered by four alkaline AA batteries or a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (sold separately) for better sustainability and convenience. With more than 75 years of experience, Kwikset makes life easier and remains a trusted name in home security.
