Kwikset® Expands Signature Series™ with New Gunmetal Finish
The striking new finish delivers eye-catching style, dimension and trusted quality
LAKE FOREST, Calif. – Oct. 1, 2025 – Kwikset®, a trusted leader in residential security and a registered trademark of ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc., an ASSA ABLOY Group Company, announced the launch of Gunmetal, a sleek new finish available on select families in the Kwikset Signature Series™.
“Gunnetal is the next generation of contemporary finishes,” said Amanda Archer, group manager of product marketing at Kwikset. “It offers striking depth with a refined luster that adapts beautifully to different environments. Homeowners now have an option that is sleek, versatile and built on Kwikset’s legacy of trusted security.”
The contemporary new finish features a subtle metallic luster that reflects both warm and cool tones. Its depth and brilliance create a dynamic appearance that shifts with the lighting, complementing popular design palettes for both interiors and exteriors.
Gunmetal is offered on several Kwikset products, including Halifax™ levers, Pismo™ knobs, San Clemente™ handlesets and 258 deadbolts. Levers and knobs are available in keyed entry, privacy, passage and dummy functions to suit a wide range of home applications. Handlesets are available as a complete front door solution or an exterior-only design, and deadbolts are offered in sleek round and square styles.
As part of the Signature Series, Gunmetal products combine elevated design with trusted quality. Handlesets, deadbolts and keyed entry levers and knobs include SmartKey Security® technology, which defends against advanced break-in methods and allows homeowners to re-key locks in seconds, and select products are enhanced with Microban® antimicrobial protection, which keeps surfaces 99.9% cleaner than unprotected hardware. All families are certified Grade AAA by the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) for security, durability and finish.
Installation is designed for do-it-yourself convenience, requiring only a screwdriver, and all products are reversible for an easy fit on standard doors. Each product is backed by Kwikset’s lifetime mechanical and finish warranty.
Starting at $21.99, Gunmetal products are available now through Kwikset’s retail and professional distribution partners. For more information, visit kwikset.com.
