Cool amenities (like smart locks and all the everyday conveniences that come with them) can increase rent and value. Your residents already interact with their smart phone every day, so why not offer smart apartment technology in the palm of their hands? According to a recent Kwikset study, 97% of renters like technology when it’s easy to fit into their lifestyle and creates convenience. With Kwikset smart locks, you can provide your residents with a world of wireless possibilities, convenience, and peace of mind.
Keyless Entry
Key-free convenience through keyless entry means no more keys, no more losing keys, no more lockouts. Say goodbye to the expense of duplicating physical keys and time spent coordinating key delivery/collection. The Kwikset Kevo™ smart lock features Touch-to-Open™ convenience so there’s no need to fumble for keys. And with the free Kevo app, the smartphone becomes the key and also allows for locking/unlocking via the app.
Remote Access
Did you lock your doors this morning? With a Kwikset smart lock, residents can access their lock no matter where they are and never worry about forgetting to lock the door again (Kevo Plus or other smart home hub required). Residents can receive notification alerts on their smart phones whenever someone enters their apartment and view a log of the who and when their door was locked or unlocked.
Access Control
Kwikset partners with Smart Apartment Providers like Vivint and Dwelo to grant both property managers and residents more control over who has access to the apartment unit. Our electronic deadbolts can store multiple electronic keys (eKeys) or User Codes for distribution to those you authorize to have access to your home, like service professionals and guests. You can set schedules for each electronic key or user code, so they activate and expire automatically. No more worrying about access outside of rental timeframes. And you have the freedom to do all this from wherever you are, on your smart phone or device. No need to physically be at the property. Property Managers have the ultimate admin access to the lock via the Mastercode feature in all Kwikset smart locks.
Custom Automations
Kwikset smart locks work with a variety of smart home products that your residents already own and love! The Kevo smart lock works with the Ring™ video doorbell, Nest™ Learning Thermostat, Android® Wear, the Apple® Watch, and other smart devices through IFTTT. Kwikset electronic deadbolts with Home Connect™ Technology, like our SmartCode line of smart locks, allow locks to wirelessly communicate with other smart devices in the apartment via Z-Wave® or Zigbee® technology platforms. Residents can set-up custom automations to match their lifestyle. Property managers can pre-set automations for controlled environments and schedule settings for vacant units and common areas, thus reducing utility costs. All this starts with the Kwikset smart lock on the door. These high-tech amenities provide for a more desirable place to rent.
Package Deliveries
Lost or stolen packages, especially for those living in rental settings, is a common occurrence. If the building does not have a doorperson or leasing office to accept packages, residents are forced to use a P.O. Box or have packages delivered elsewhere. Offer an amenity that solves this delivery issue – the Amazon Key Home Kit service. You can choose from five different Kwikset smart locks available. Amazon Prime members in select cities can opt-in to in-home deliveries. No more stolen packages.
