LAKE FOREST, CA (August 8, 2019) — Kwikset® brand of Spectrum Brands, Inc. – Hardware & Home Improvement Division, will be showcasing two of its most popular Z-Wave locks at CEDIA 2019, September 12-14, in Denver. The locks – the Obsidian™ Touchscreen Electronic Deadbolt and the Contemporary SmartCode 914 Deadbolt - will be displayed in the Z-Wave Alliance Pavilion (Booth 1743). Both locks will also be in the URC booth (Booth 3001).

Obsidian (MSRP $229) is a visually striking, low-profile touchscreen electronic deadbolt featuring “game changing” design. Named after a dark, glasslike volcanic rock, Obsidian merges a sleek and modern exterior; a class-leading, minimal, all-metal interior; and advanced mechanical and electronic security features. Eliminating the keyway also removes the threat of “lock picking” and “lock bumping,” attacks using special keys to defeat conventional pin and tumbler locks. Obsidian also includes Kwikset’s patented SecureScreen™ to help mask “smudge” attacks, in which passcodes can potentially be jeopardized. Obsidian is also Z-Wave Plus Certified with the Z-Wave 500 chipset, which supports over-the-air firmware updates and features an extended wireless range and robust network security and encryption.

The contemporary version of the company’s popular SmartCode 914 Deadbolt Lock (MSRP $229) pairs with Kwikset’s Home Connect technology, integrating with home security and automation systems to deliver convenience and peace of mind to homeowners with complete remote locking/unlocking via smartphones and tablets. With its 10-button keypad, the SmartCode 914 delivers the convenience of keyless entry and dedicated one-touch locking, as well as the security of an all-metal, tamper-resistant interior escutcheon and BHMA Grade 2 Certification, ensuring top-quality and durability. The SmartCode 914 also utilizes the Z-Wave 500 Series chip to enable true remote locking and unlocking.
