Kwikset, a company in residential security and a registered trademark of ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc., an ASSA ABLOY Group company, announced an expanded lineup of connected solutions launching this fall. The new products include the Kwikset FLEX Smart Garage Door Opener, the Halo Select Plus, and additional style variants of the Halo Select.

Available in two models, Kwikset FLEX delivers connected security and flexible control. Homeowners can operate their garage doors remotely through the Kwikset app or from their vehicles using Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or HomeLink. The Kwikset FLEX 800 model features a three-quarter horsepower motor with long-lasting LED lighting, while the Kwikset FLEX 1000B offers a one-horsepower motor, brighter lighting, and a built-in battery backup.

With Halo Select Plus, a smart lock with home key in Apple Wallet and Matter support, a simple tap of a home key on iPhone or Apple Watch can unlock doors quickly and securely. Halo Select Plus builds on the features of the original Halo Select released in fall 2024 with remote access via the Kwikset app and built-in Wi-Fi, keyless entry with schedulable access codes, and a discreet door status sensor. An event log and tamper alerts provide real-time phone notifications. The lock also integrates with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home and Google Home for voice commands and automations, with optional Matter over Thread connectivity.

The Kwikset FLEX Smart Garage Door Opener will begin rolling out in select U.S. markets in mid-October, followed by nationwide availability in November. Halo Select Plus and the new Halo Select variants will be available through major retailers this fall.
