This is a perfect solution when you have a set of keys that have been lost, loaned or unreturned. Homeowners with SmartKey no longer have to worry about the key the ex-babysitter or ex-housekeeper never returned. A set of lost keys no longer translates to lost time and money to schedule and pay a locksmith to change the lock. With SmartKey, homeowners are empowered to improve and maintain their own home and family's security in a matter of seconds, and there's no downtime where security is compromised while you wait for help to arrive. Kwikset's SmartKey Signature Series™ deadbolts also have earned the prestigious Best Buy rating from Consumers Digest Magazine in the residential deadbolt lock category. Selected based on performance and features, the “Best Buys” in residential deadbolt locks were announced in an article published in the February 2010 issue titled, “Peace of Mind: Top-Notch Door Locks and Safes.”
