Kwikset® Expands Exterior Door Hardware Lineup With Stylish New Entry Sets
New exterior door lock sets pair trusted deadbolt security with sleek low profile backplates for front, back, garage and side entrances

LAKE FOREST, Calif. — July 20, 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 entry sets, a new collection of exterior door lock sets designed to bring elevated style, seamless design and trusted security to every entrance of the home.

Designed for front doors, back doors, garage entry doors and side-of-house entrances, the new entry sets feature a deadbolt and handle or knob on interior and exterior backplates for a premium, cohesive look. The low profile backplates are designed to blend seamlessly with the door, creating a clean, elevated appearance while providing the same trusted security homeowners expect from a standard Kwikset deadbolt.

The entry sets are available across Kwikset’s Halifax®, Sedona™, Sora® and Pismo™ collections, expanding each with a modern addition. Halifax features sleek lines and a smooth, straight handle for contemporary and transitional spaces. Sedona offers an updated wave shape with a slim, elegant profile. Sora features a refined traditional knob with elegant detailing around the edges. Pismo delivers clean lines, smooth surfaces and a minimalist aesthetic for a modern look.

Each entry set has Kwikset’s patented SmartKey Security®, which protects against advanced break-in techniques and allows homeowners to re-key their lock in seconds. The technology helps families secure multiple exterior doors with one-key convenience, making it easier to update, coordinate and manage access across the home.

“Exterior hardware should do more than secure the front door. It should bring style and confidence to every entry point,” said Amanda Archer, group manager of product marketing at Kwikset. “With our new entry sets, homeowners can create a seamless look across the exterior of the home while enjoying the everyday convenience of SmartKey Security and the trusted performance Kwikset is known for.”

Kwikset entry sets are ideal for remodels, upgrades, new construction, rental turnovers and move-ins. Each set is designed for simple, do-it-yourself installation and installs in minutes with just a screwdriver. The sets fit standard-size doors 1 3/8 to 1 3/4 inches thick, with door bore holes 5 1/2 inches apart, center to center. The adjustable latch accommodates 2 3/8- or 2 3/4-inch backsets.

Each box includes an exterior keyed backplate, interior backplate, adjustable latches, strikes, a SmartKey tool, two Kwikset keys and installation hardware. Halifax and Sedona entry sets include coordinating levers, while Sora and Pismo entry sets include coordinating knobs.

Available in Satin Nickel, Matte Black and Satin Brass finishes, Kwikset entry sets are backed by a lifetime mechanical and finish warranty. They will be available at The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Amazon and other major retailers, with prices starting at $135.99. For more information, contact Kwikset’s sales team.
