Obsidian
Obsidian delivers a sleek, modern lock with advanced residential protection that is expected to be a design “game changer.” The lock merges a sleek and modern exterior; a class-leading, minimal, all-metal interior; and advanced mechanical and electronic security features. The removal of the keyway takes away the threat of “lock picking” and “lock bumping,” attacks using specially cut keys to defeat conventional pin and tumbler locks.

In the unlikely event the four AA batteries run out of power, backup power can be supplied via a 9V battery by touching terminals that are concealed so as not to detract from the contemporary appearance. Obsidian also includes Kwikset’s patented SecureScreen™ technology, an important feature that can help mask so-called “smudge” attacks.
Kwikset Convert
Kwikset Convert (Z-Wave™ Smart Lock Conversion Kit), which replaces the interior half of an existing lock, brings the convenience of keyless entry and home automation to new consumer audiences. The new kit will appeal to design-driven homeowners who want a smarter lock but want to maintain the style of the front door or match the current handleset, and don’t want to change the existing deadbolt.
In conjunction with any one of a wide variety of Z-Wave-based home automation systems, the new Conversion Kit utilizes the Z-Wave wireless protocol to enable true remote locking and unlocking. As a result, users will be capable of remotely accessing and controlling the lock from anywhere in the world, using a smartphone, tablet or Internet-connected device.
Available in Brass, Venetian Bronze, and Satin Nickel, the traditional style of the Kwikset Convert will complement the décor of most homes. The kit can be used on Kwikset®, Baldwin®, Weiser® and Schlage® products.
Kwikset traditional deadbolts
Kwikset has also addressed the needs of style-conscious consumers with contemporary versions of the company’s traditional deadbolts, the SmartCode™ 914 Touchpad Electronic Deadbolt and SmartCode™ 916 Touchscreen Electronic Deadbolt. These modern locks integrate with home security and automation systems to deliver convenience and peace of mind to homeowners with remote locking/unlocking via smartphones and tablets.
All of the new locks will be available during the 2nd half of 2017.
