Kwikset SmartKey - Well It’s About Time
Recently, I was changing the locks on one of the rental houses because of this idiot and came across a new (to me) product by Kwikset called SmartKey®.
Basically, it’s a lock which can be “programmed” to recognize a new key and forget the old one. Hallelujah! No more changing locksets! And it’s about freaking time too.
A while back, I wrote about something similar where instead of changing the whole lockset, you just change the actual lock cylinder. But these lock cylinders had to be special ordered and you had to keep the keys together with the locks.
Now, with this SmartKey system, you just have to keep track of the keys themselves. In case I’ve been living in The Whitehouse under a rock, if you’ve heard of these locks, leave me a comment and tell me to wake up and pay attention. Cheers!
