Kwikset, a manufacturer of residential security and a registered trademark of ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc., an ASSA ABLOY Group Company, has announced the launch of a gunmetal for select families in the Kwikset Signature Series.

“Gunmetal is the next generation of contemporary finishes,” says Amanda Archer, group manager of product marketing at Kwikset. “It offers striking depth with a refined luster that adapts beautifully to different environments. Homeowners now have an option that is sleek, versatile and built on Kwikset’s legacy of trusted security.”

Kwikset points out the contemporary new finish features a subtle metallic luster that reflects both warm and cool tones. The company suggests the finishes’ depth and brilliance create a dynamic appearance that shifts with the lighting, complementing popular design palettes for both interiors and exteriors.

Gunmetal is offered on several Kwikset products, including Halifax levers, Pismo knobs, San Clemente handlesets and 258 deadbolts. Levers and knobs are available in keyed entry, privacy, passage and dummy functions to suit a wide range of home applications. Handlesets are available as a complete front door solution or an exterior-only design, and deadbolts are offered in sleek round and square styles.

As part of the Kwikset Signature Series, Gunmetal products combine elevated design with trusted quality. Handlesets, deadbolts and keyed entry levers and knobs include SmartKey Security technology, which defends against advanced break-in methods and allows homeowners to re-key locks in seconds, and select products are enhanced with Microban antimicrobial protection, which keeps surfaces 99.9% cleaner than unprotected hardware. All families are certified Grade AAA by the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) for security, durability and finish.

Starting at $21.99, the gunmetal products are available now through Kwikset’s professional distribution partners.
