Kwikset and Kobalt get close
SmartKey Security is now available for tool chests at Lowe’s stores.
The Kwikset brand of Spectrum Brands, Inc. – Hardware & Home Improvement Division (HHI), now offers one-key convenience through SmartKey Security technology in select Kobalt Tools 3000 Series tool chests, available at Lowe’s.
This feature will allow homeowners and trade professionals alike the convenience of one-key access for their home or workshop.
Typically, according to the company, pro-grade tool chests come with multiple keys for each compartment. But with the SmartKey Security in Kobalt tool chests, users can now re-key the tool chests so they all work on one key. They can also re-key the Kwikset door locks in the workshop/garage and home to use the same key.
Previously just available in door hardware, SmartKey Security was designed to make security simple, while also including advanced features to protect homeowners from common break-in methods such as lock bumping and picking.
Kobalt Tools offers an assortment of organizational solutions to its customers. With the new 3000 Series tool chests available with SmartKey Security, the ability to mix and match different sizes to build a custom work station that is accessible with a single key is now possible.
With this industry-first partnership, Kobalt Tools and Kwikset bring a streamlined, secure solution to the tool storage category.
“Our partnership with Kobalt is an exciting venture as we are solving a palpable need across multiple service industries – one-key convenience between tool chest compartments – while also adding value for homeowners with Kwikset door hardware." says Marty Hoffmann, Kwikset VP of marketing, Spectrum Brands, Inc. – Hardware and Home Improvement Division.
