Strength & Security
Kwikset locks and deadbolts are evaluated for their ability to withstand impact. We test our products to determine if they are capable of enduring excessive force
2
Durability
Operation, cycling, and performance tests ensure that our hardware works properly with repeated use over time.

Finish
Kwikset locks are tested to make sure the coating of our products does not soften, bubble, peel, discolor, or corrode when exposed to certain elements and environmental conditions. We also determine ease of use when a door changes its fit in the frame due to fluctuating temperatures.

Electronics
Kwikset’s engineers test for threats to electronics locks by experimenting with electric discharge, Wi-Fi signal isolation, and wireless signal testing. Our Bluetooth-enabled locks are evaluated for their ability to resist physical tampering, electrical interference, and cyber-attacks.
