Imagine approaching your front door, hands full of groceries, and the lock simply… unlocks. The new Aura Reach smart lock promises this seamless experience, blending robust security with effortless convenience for the modern homeowner.
This isn’t just another smart lock; it’s built on a foundation of compatibility. The Aura Reach speaks both Matter and Bluetooth, opening the door to a truly connected home, working seamlessly with major ecosystems like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. While it doesn’t currently support Apple Home Key functionality, its broad compatibility ensures a future-proof investment.
At the heart of the Aura Reach lies Kwikset’s renowned SmartKey technology. This innovative system allows you to instantly re-key your lock using an existing Kwikset key and a simple tool – a game-changer for new homeowners or anyone wanting an extra layer of control. Once re-keyed, that single key unlocks every other SmartKey lock in your home, simplifying security across your property.
Beyond convenience, the Aura Reach prioritizes protection. SmartKey actively defends against sophisticated break-in attempts like lock bumping and picking, offering peace of mind that extends beyond simple remote access. It’s a proactive defense against potential threats.
Daily life is streamlined with thoughtful features. An illuminated keypad glows to life as you approach, eliminating fumbling in the dark. Geofencing and Bluetooth automatically unlock the door as you arrive, creating a truly hands-free entry experience. Managing access is equally simple, with the ability to create and monitor up to 250 unique user codes.
The Aura Reach leverages the power of Matter-over-Thread, a low-energy mesh network that extends battery life and enhances responsiveness. While a Matter-to-Wi-Fi bridge or Thread border router is needed to connect to your existing Wi-Fi network, many popular smart speakers and devices already fulfill this role.
Installation is designed for the do-it-yourselfer. Forget complicated procedures and professional installers – all you need is a screwdriver and the guided instructions within the Kwikset app. Even potential range issues are addressed with a built-in “Signal Range Boost” setting, doubling the radio’s output for a stronger connection.
Built to withstand the rigors of daily use, the Aura Reach is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified, ensuring durability and reliability. It’s available in sophisticated Satin Nickel and Matte Black finishes, seamlessly blending with any home’s aesthetic.
