Lake Forest-based Kwikset has received the 2010 Mark of Excellence award from the Consumer Electronic Association’s TechHome Division. The residential door hardware manufacturer garnered the honor in the Security Product of the Year category for its keyless electronic lock.
Homeowners may use a Web-enabled cell phone, the Internet or home-security touch panel to access the company's SmartCode with Home Connect Technology lock.
The product displays door lock status and allows users to arm or disarm the security system, as well as receive a text message when someone enters the home.
Other features include the option for doors to automatically lock after 30 seconds and wireless communication with other home electronics, such as lighting, thermostat and entertainment systems.
“It’s with great pride that Kwikset accepts the CEA Mark of Excellence award for the SmartCode with Home Connect Technology,” says Keith Brandon, group product manager for Kwkset's Residential Access Solutions division. “It’s the only product available today that offers homeowners a motorized deadbolt and thus the convenience of true remote locking without any physical interaction with the door.”
Kwikset, founded 60 years ago, is a brand of the Stanley Black and Decker Hardware and Home Improvement Group.
The Consumer Electronics Association boasts membership of more than 2,000 companies in the $165 billion industry.
