Kevo at a Glance

Triple Touch Lock and Auto-Lock

Triple Touch Lock allows you to lock the door from the outside without the use of a smartphone or fob. You might use Triple Touch Lock if you are using only a standard key in your  system but wish to lock the door by touch, if your smartphone or fob is disabled, or if you have a visitor in your home that will leave and lock the door behind them.

To lock the door with this feature, tap the touch surface three times, pausing briefly between each touch. The lock will perform the lock light sequence (page 7).

To enable Triple Touch Lock, set Switch #2 to the ON position.

Auto-Lock will automatically re-lock the door 30 seconds after unlocking. To enable Auto-Lock, set Switch #4 to the ON position. Both features are OFF by default.

CAUTION: With this feature enabled, it is possible to lock yourself outside if you don’t have an enrolled smartphone, Kevo fob, or standard key with you.

System Reset

WARNING: Resetting your Kevo system will restore your lock to factory settings and delete all smartphones and fobs from Kevo’s memory.

If you wish to perform a system reset, press and hold the Reset button on the back panel for 10 seconds until the lock beeps and the light ring flashes red.

Phones: After a system reset, you will need to re-enroll your Owner phone. You will still be able to send eKeys at no charge to anyone who previously had an active eKey at the time of reset.

Fobs: After a system reset, all fobs will need to be re-enrolled. See the online Troubleshooting guide for instructions.

Advanced Features

Positioning Technology
The Kevo smart lock features a unique positioning technology that can tell if your device is inside or outside your home to help prevent your door from being unlocked by unauthorized users while your device is inside.  For additional security, Kevo will also limit the activation range on the outside. The Kevo smart lock will learn about your entryway and the typical positions where you might keep your phone during normal use.  If you find that the Kevo activation range is not ideal for your use, you can reset what Kevo learned, and Kevo will learn your environment again. Quickly press and release the Positioning Technology button (B)on the lock interior. Kevo will learn about your environment again.

History Log
A history of the lock’s activity may be viewed through the Kevo app or by logging into the web portal: www.mykevo.com.

Notifications
The Kevo app can send notifications when the door is locked and unlocked by eKey holders. You can choose to receive the system’s default notifications or set up custom notifications to monitor a specific user or time frame.

Dual Factor Authentication
Kevo features an optional, added-security passcode that you can enable inside the app to be used in addition to the app’s password. Enabling the passcode will require you to enter a 4- digit  IN whenever you access the app, and it protects your Kevo account against unauthorized changes when your phone is unlocked.

Kevo Plus
With Kevo Plus, you will be able to lock and unlock your home and check whether your door is locked or unlocked when you are away from home. You can upgrade to Kevo Plus inside the Kevo app.
Visit www.kwikset.com/kevo/kevo-plus for more information.

Connect Smart Products
Connect Kevo to select smart products. In the Kevo app, tap the gear icon to connect to smart products (iOS only: select “Preferences”). Visit www.kwikset.com/kevo/support for more information.

Important Safeguards

1. Read all instructions in their entirety.
2. Familiarize yourself with all warning and caution statements.
3. Remind all family members of safety precautions.
4. Always have access to your lock’s standard key.
5. If using the Triple Touch Lock or Auto-Lock features,
make sure to have your smartphone, fob or standard
key with you to prevent locking yourself out.
6. Familiarize yourself with all light ring error notifications.
7. Replace low batteries immediately.

Preventing Inadvertent Unlocking of Your Door

WARNING: Failure to follow these safeguards could result in your lock opening inadvertently.

1. Avoid keeping and storing phones and fobs unnecessarily close to the lock when inside the home.
2. Restrict access to your Kevo lock’s back panel and routinely check your settings to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge.

3. Protect the password to your Kevo app and web portal accounts.
4. When sending an eKey, always double-check that you are sending it to the correct recipient.
5. Protect and restrict access to your smartphone so that your app settings cannot be altered without your knowledge.
6. Enable the Kevo app’s security passcode so that your app settings cannot be altered without your knowledge.
7. When sending eKeys, be aware of the difference between an Admin user and other users in the system: an Admin user can send, disable and delete eKeys.
8. If your smartphone is lost or stolen, use the Kevo web portal (www.mykevo.com) to disable it.
9. If a fob in your Kevo system is lost or stolen, reset \your lock to delete it from memory.

CAUTION: As with any radio-based technology, it should be noted that the accuracy and reliability of the Kevo lock’s inside-outside sensor cannot be guaranteed. Users should not rely solely on the Kevo lock’s sensor for security purposes and should always use caution. This manufacturer assumes no responsibility for incorrect results or damages resulting from the use of the Kevo lock’s sensor.

Certain home configurations may impede the Kevo lock’s sensor more than others. Example: Your home office is located next to your entryway, and part of the office extends past the front door, jutting into the front yard. If your device is being actively used in that office extension, the Kevo lock’s sensor could possibly detect the device as being outside of your home while that device is in active use.

WARNING: This Manufacturer advises that no lock can provide complete security by itself. This lock may be defeated by forcible or technical means or evaded by entry elsewhere on the property. No lock can substitute for caution, awareness of your environment, and common sense. Builder’s hardware is available in multiple performance grades to suit the application.  n order to enhance security and reduce risk, you should consult a qualified locksmith or other security professional.
