Kwikset® Introduces Peralta™, a Modern 2-Point Locking Handleset Designed for Today’s Entryways
New contemporary Peralta™ handleset joins traditional Montara™, offering two distinct style options supported by the same elevated security
LAKE FOREST, Calif. — Feb. 2, 2026 — 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 the Kwikset Peralta™ 2-point locking handleset, adding a contemporary design option to its dual-lock lineup. Alongside the existing Kwikset Montara™ 2-point locking handleset, the expanded portfolio gives homeowners a choice between modern and traditional styles — without compromising on front-door security.
Peralta features a clean and minimalist profile designed for homeowners who prefer a modern entryway. The handleset pairs its contemporary aesthetic with a 2-point locking system and Kwikset’s SmartKey Security®, which helps guard against advanced break-in techniques and allows users to re-key the locks in seconds. Peralta is available in Satin Nickel, Matte Black and Satin Brass.
Montara serves as the traditional counterpart in the 2-point locking lineup. It features beveled details and a classic silhouette that appeals to homeowners who want a familiar and timeless style. Montara is available in Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze and Polished Brass.
Both Peralta and Montara feature two locking points, including a keyed deadbolt and a keyed grip. Each product comes with an interior deadbolt turn piece and either an interior lever or knob. The handlesets are designed to fit standard doors and can be easily installed with just a screwdriver. Peralta features a fully adjustable throughbolt and Montara has a 3-position bolt, which allows the handlesets to accommodate most door preparations. Each product carries a lifetime mechanical and finish warranty.
“The introduction of Peralta gives homeowners a modern option that aligns with today’s design preferences,” said Amanda Archer, group manager of product marketing at Kwikset. “Homeowners should not have to choose between the right style and the right level of protection. With Peralta and Montara, there are two distinct design paths, modern and traditional, that offer dependable 2-point locking and the trusted security that defines our brand.”
Peralta and Montara are available through The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Amazon and other major retailers with prices starting at $165. For more information, contact Kwikset’s sales team.
