Kwikset Launches Aura Reach Smart Lock, a Next-Gen Connected Deadbolt Designed for DIY Install and Matter Integration
Matter and Bluetooth connectivity meets hands-free entry, proximity sensor to illuminate the LED-backlit keypad upon approach, and step-by-step guided onboarding
LAKE FOREST, Calif. – Jan. 5, 2026 – Kwikset®, a trusted leader in residential security and a registered trademark of ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc., an ASSA ABLOY Group Company, today announced the launch of Aura Reach™, a new smart lock that combines Matter and Bluetooth connectivity to deliver flexible, intelligent home access and automation. With features such as hands-free auto unlock, proximity keypad wakeup and interactive guided installation via the Kwikset app, Aura Reach brings connected convenience and trusted protection to today’s DIY connected households.
Designed for seamless smart home integration, Aura Reach works with all major Matter-enabled platforms, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home, and is fully compatible with both iPhone® and Android devices. The Kwikset app provides education and guided onboarding into your smart home platform of choice. Let your smart home assistant intelligently control your lock from anywhere, trigger other devices with lock actions, and enable helpful automations that keep your home secure.
“Kwikset provides best-in-case mechanical install. Aura Reach represents the next evolution of Kwikset’s Matter innovation. Our simple setup complements Matter’s ease of use by providing education and guided onboarding,” said Jeff Sandoval, director of electronics marketing at Kwikset.
Aura Reach offers a range of intelligent features that make everyday access easier. The backlit keypad intelligently illuminates as users approach, while Bluetooth and geofence technology automatically unlock the door for a hands-free experience. The dual connectivity feature allows homeowners to use Bluetooth for direct local control or connect via Matter for multi-platform compatibility and reliable communication over Thread. Through the Kwikset app, users can manage up to 250 unique access codes, track entry history and receive alerts for invalid code attempts.
The lock also features Kwikset’s patented SmartKey Security, allowing users to rekey the lock in seconds and providing protection against advanced break-in techniques. An optional Signal Range Boost doubles Matter network performance, enhancing reliability throughout the home. Installation is simple with an interactive, step-by-step guide, and only a screwdriver is needed.
Backed by Kwikset’s 80 years of trusted expertise, Aura Reach combines modern smart home compatibility with best-in-class mechanical security, featuring an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified deadbolt and durable Satin Nickel and Matte Black finishes with a lifetime finish warranty.
Aura Reach will be available this winter for $189 through major retailers.
Aura Reach joins Kwikset’s portfolio of Matter-enabled smart locks, including Halo Select and Halo Select Plus.
