Kwikset Convert is Kwikset's new Z-Wave(TM) Smart Lock Converstion Kit. The kit can turn mechanical locks -- even non-Kwikset locks -- into smart, electronic locks, bringing the convenience of keyless entry and home automation to new consumer audiences.
The new Kwikset Convert will appeal to design-driven homeowners who want a smarter lock but also want to maintain the style of the front door or match an existing handleset, and don’t want to change out their existing deadbolt. What’s more, Kwikset Convert’s transitional style complements the décor of most homes.
Kwikset Convert is simple to install. The unit, which features the same class-leading minimal, all-metal interior available in Kwikset’s SmartCode line, is placed over the existing interior mechanism using the included adapters. The interior piece can be removed and re-used on other mechanical locks, making it an economical security upgrade.

What sets your product apart from others? - In conjunction with any one of a wide variety of Z-Wave-based home automation systems, the new Conversion Kit utilizes the Z-Wave wireless protocol to enable true remote locking and unlocking. As a result, users will be capable of remotely accessing and controlling the lock from anywhere in the world, using a smartphone, tablet or Internet-connected device. This will allow them to lock a door while traveling for work or vacation, and even remotely provide access to their home to service providers, guests or other family members. Users can also get valuable information through their smart phone, letting them know whether a door is locked or unlocked.
Kwikset Convert utilizes the new Z-Wave 500 Series chip. Supporting over-the air firmware updates, the new chip extends
What benefits does your product provide? - Kwikset Convert helps bring home automation to consumers who have been hesitant to join the home automaton trend, and extends it for those who already have it. For novices, Kwikset Convert, in combination with any one of dozens of home automation hubs, provides an easy-to-install, cost-effective entry into the home automation arena. For consumers who already have a home automation hub controlling various systems (e.g., lighting, heating, A/V), Kwikset Convert creates “extension of automation,” bringing automation directly to their door.
Kwikset Convert also addresses an overlooked market: renters not allowed to change out the locks on their front door. Plus it will appeal to owners of both condominiums and vacation property whose homeowners associations require all exterior locks to be uniform in appearance.
In all cases, Kwikset Convert represents an affordable solution for consumers who want to add increase security and smart features to their locks but who also want to dip their toes into the home automation waters.
As described in the previous response, Kwikset Convert is simple to install, utilizes Z-Wave to enable true remote locking and unlocking, and utilizes the new Z-Wave 500 Series chip for extended wireless range and robust network security and encryption.
