WARNING: Failure to follow these safeguards could result in your lock opening inadvertently.
- Avoid keeping and storing phones and fobs unnecessarily close to the lock when inside the home.
- Restrict access to your Kevo lock’s back panel and routinely check your settings to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge.
- Protect the password to your Kevo app and web portal accounts.
- When sending an eKey, always double-check that you are sending it to the correct recipient.
- Protect and restrict access to your smartphone so that your app settings cannot be altered without your knowledge.
- Enable the Kevo app’s security passcode so that your app settings cannot be altered without your knowledge.
- 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.
- If your smartphone is lost or stolen, use the Kevo web portal (www.mykevo.com) to disable it.
- If a fob in your Kevo system is lost or stolen, reset your lock to delete it from memory.
CAUTION: Prevent unauthorized entry. Because anyone with access to the back panel can change your Kevo lock’s settings, you must restrict access to the back panel and routinely check your settings to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge.
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. Kwikset 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. In order to enhance security and reduce risk, you should consult a qualified locksmith or other security professional.
