Kwikset Kevo

With Kwikset's Kevo lock ($219 list), you can gain entry to your home or office without the need for a key. Using Bluetooth wireless technology, the Kevo lock reads an eKey code stored on your iOS device and lets you unlock the door with a touch of your finger. It also creates a log of openings and closings.

The Kevo Bluetooth lock comes with an a single cylinder deadbolt locking assembly, an interior housing, two traditional keys, a keychain fob (pre-enrolled for the lock), two eKeys, four AA batteries, and all the mounting hardware you'll need to install the lock. It also comes with installation instructions, a user guide, and a drilling/boring template if your door is not already prepared for a deadbolt lock.

The Kevo comes in three finishes; Polished Brass, Venetian Bronze, and Satin Nickel. Additional keychain fobs cost $25 each, and extra eKeys are $1.99 each. Kwikset covers the Kevo with a lifetime finish and mechanical warranty and a one year electronic warranty.

The Kevo iOS app is uncomplicated and well designed. From the main menu you can send eKeys, set up and add locks, and check notifications.

The Settings menu is where you go to view and edit lock information and calibrate your fob or iOS device, and the My Users tab allows you to view all active and inactive users by name and delete or disable their eKeys. It also displays each user's email address.

Tapping on the My Locks and eKeys tab takes you to a screen that lists all of your Kevo locks. This screen shows you how many eKeys are active, pending, and disabled for each lock. You can drill down to each individual ekey by user name and edit the rights for that user and delete or disable the eKey. You can also view notifications for each lock that show when eKeys were assigned and deleted as well as historical events by each user showing the date and time that the lock was engaged.
