Kwikset SC1 Keyway

Kwikset SC1 Keyway

 Kwikset introduces the SC1 Keyway, featuring Kwikset’s exclusive SmartKey Security technology.

The new SC1 Keyway, compatible with most Kwikset® locks, brings significant benefits to both the consumer and B2B markets, which includes security dealers as well as professionals who purchase and use a large volume of mechanical locks (builders, remodelers, property owners and managers).

The SC1 Keyway provides an additional avenue through which consumers can experience the convenience of patented SmartKey Security® technology, which allows locks to be rekeyed without taking the lock off the door or hiring a locksmith, and without worrying about lost or unreturned keys. This means that consumers will save time and money by being able to re-key their Kwikset locks themselves in seconds.

More specifically, consumers who have other lock brands utilizing the SC1 Keyway throughout their homes can now put Kwikset locks into the mix, since the SC1 Keyway - via SmartKey security - will allow them to re-key their new Kwikset locks to their existing locks, reducing the overall number of keys the homeowner needs. As a result, consumers, no longer tied to their current locks brands, can experience the high level of security, dependability, and durability of Kwikset locks.

The SC1 Keyway presents a powerful selling proposition for dealers, giving them a tool to transition consumers into the convenience and flexibility of SmartKey technology. Dealers working with Kwikset now have the flexibility to offer both the KW1 Keyway and the SC1, the industry’s top two keyways -- both available with SmartKey functionality. So, dealers can now actively sell the highly desirable benefits of SmartKey to consumers who can instantly integrate the new lock into their current keying system.
