Kwikset, a registered trademark of Assa Abloy Americas Residential Inc., an Assa Abloy Group Company, announced the upcoming launch of Halo Select, a smart door lock designed to provide a convenient and versatile security solution for homes.
About Halo Select
Halo Select offers both Wi-Fi and Matter built-in for homeowners seeking flexible, reliable and integrated smart home security. Customers can choose the connection method that suits them best, and easily switch if their smart home needs to evolve.
With the Kwikset app and built-in Wi-Fi (no hub required), Halo Select lets users control their front door from anywhere—lock, unlock and even grant access to guests, all without traditional keys. Homeowners can share access with family or trusted guests through unique codes or in-app, with real-time notifications ensuring they stay informed about who’s coming and going. The lock also integrates geofence technology to intelligently unlock as the user approaches their home.
By incorporating Matter over Thread, Halo Select integrates seamlessly with all compatible smart home platforms and devices, so the user can simplify their life with smart security automations. With Kwikset’s in-app compatibility check and guided setup, the transition to Matter is also simple.
What Kwikset says
“Halo Select represents the next step towards Kwikset’s mission to provide homeowners with unmatched security and seamless control over their home security,” says Jeff Sandoval, director of marketing for electronics, Kwikset. “By offering both Wi-Fi and Matter connectivity, Halo Select fills a critical gap in the market, providing a versatile, integrated solution that simplifies smart home integration. We’re excited to bring this innovation to market and continue delivering trusted and reliable products that reflect the evolving needs of today’s connected homes.”
Additional product details
Halo Select's bright touchscreen features dedicated keypad indicators, ensuring user interactions are seamless and intuitive. The lock’s subtle door status sensor confirms the door is properly closed and has not been left ajar, while instant notifications alert users to any potential security issues such as invalid code attempts or lock tampering. Halo Select features Kwikset’s new quiet and powerful motor for a swift locking and unlocking experience. Plus, Halo Select is third-party tested to meet the highest BHMA Grade AAA standards and UL 20-minute fire rating for added peace of mind.
Halo Select's DIY installation is simple, requiring only a screwdriver, while the interactive in-app guide streamlines the process and provides clear hardware installation steps. No hardwiring required, the lock is powered by four alkaline AA batteries or a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (sold separately) for better sustainability and convenience.
Kwikset will also launch an NFC tap-to-unlock variant, Halo Select+, in early 2025.
