Leading Residential Lock Manufacturer Expands
Smart Home Line with Fingerprint Enabled Lock
The Kwikset® brand of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. – Hardware
& Home Improvement Division, adds to its family of Wi-Fi
enabled Smart Locks with its latest addition, Halo™ Touch Wi-Fi
Smart lock. Using the latest technology to create a convenient and
secure smart home experience, Halo Touch Smart Lock provides
homeowners access to their home via fingerprint. Kwikset is
showcasing Halo Touch for the very first time, alongside its
previously launched Halo Smart Locks, in its booth during CES,
January 7-10 (#41142, CES Tech West | Sands Expo, Level 2 Halls
A-D).
Halo Touch Smart Lock comes with the ability to program and
store up to 100 fingerprints (50 users), ensuring all family and
household members can access the home with one-touch fingerprint
locking and unlocking. In addition, through the Kwikset app,
homeowners can remotely monitor and control their Halo Touch Smart
Locks from anywhere in the world while connected to the Internet.
Like its predecessor, Halo, the brand’s first foray into Wi-Fi
enabled smart locks, Halo Touch will connect directly to
homeowners’ existing Wi-Fi network and smartphone to create a
simple, secure smart home, without the need for a third-party hub,
panel or subscription service.
Why Choose Halo Touch:
- Installation and set-up designed to be easy. All Halo Smart
Locks are DIY-friendly, so homeowners can easily install the lock
themselves. Set-up requires a Wi-Fi network and the Kwikset mobile
app, available for free download from compatible smartphone app
marketplaces, such as the Apple App Store or Google PlayStore.
- Convenience at your fingertip. Halo Touch provides homeowners
one-touch access to their home. With the intuitive Kwikset app,
they are given more control over their front door security,
allowing them to operate, manage and monitor their locks through
their smartphones using the app from anywhere there's an Internet
connection. With the ability to lock and unlock, manage user codes,
view lock activity, receive lock notifications and much more, Halo
Touch brings the ultimate in security and convenience to one’s
fingertips.
- Advanced security with Kwikset Halo Touch. Homeowners can have
peace of mind knowing that fingerprints are stored locally at each
lock, not in the cloud. All Halo Touch Smart Locks feature the
latest patented SmartKey Security™, protecting against common and
forced entry break-in methods like lock picking, lock bumping and
torque attacks. SmartKey Security also allows homeowners to re-key
their locks quickly and easily; rendering lost, loaned or
unreturned keys useless.
- Home Automation. Halo Touch features voice assistant
integration as it works with Google Home Assistant and Amazon Alexa
through voice commands.
- Superior Performance Standards. Halo is BHMA Certified to Grade
AAA, meaning it meets the highest certified residential grade
performance standards for builder's hardware as certified by the
Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA), the only
organization accredited by the America National Standards Institute
(ANSI). These standards ensure the quality and durability of
locksets through a series of operational and security tests.
“Building upon the technological advances with the original Halo
Wi-Fi-enabled Smart Locks, Kwikset once again is at the forefront
of security technology with Halo Touch,” says Ali Atash, Senior
Product Marketing Manager, Kwikset, Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.
– Hardware & Home Improvement Division. “With the introduction
of Halo Touch, Kwikset continues to reinforce our commitment to
creating residential security solutions for our customers.”
The Halo Touch Wi-Fi Smart Lock will be available for purchase
in 2020 for $249 MSRP at HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Amazon.com and
Build.com. The new Smart Locks will launch in traditional and
contemporary styling with three finish options, Satin Nickel,

says Atash. “With Halo Touch, we are providing consumers with the
greatest in fingerprint unlocking technology while building on our
industry expertise of Wi-Fi enabled smart locks.”
