Announcement – Kwikset SmartKey Locks for Property Managers

What is Smart Key Technology?

Kwikset and Baldwin have offered their smart key system for homes, property managers, and other applications for several years now. They’ve gone through several modifications, changes and upgrades to make them better too. The idea behind these locks is that they allow owners to change the locks with a special tool. A working key is needed in order to change the lock. If you don’t have working key a special reset produce has to be completed.

Kwikset SmartKey locks are a cost effective solution for property managers and others who have a need to frequently change their locks. Smart Key technology allows property managers to easily change the locks by themselves within minutes. This ability can offer security and cost savings, especially for property managers with a high turnover. For example, the day a tenant leaves, the manager can change all the locks.
