Secure, Keyless, Smart: Vivint’s Take on the Modern Keypad Door Lock

Losing your keys used to mean losing access to your home. But today, smart technology is making traditional locks feel outdated. Vivint’s electronic keypad door lock from Kwikset offers a secure, seamless, and stylish solution that fits right into your smart home system.

With keyless entry, remote control, and integration with the Vivint Smart Hub and app, this electronic door lock not only secures your door; it simplifies your life. From elderly homeowners to busy parents, everyone can benefit from the convenience and security of a smart entry system.

What is a keypad door lock, and why are more households switching?

A keypad door lock lets you enter a digital code to unlock the door instead of using a traditional key. These locks are quickly becoming the go-to choice for modern homeowners.

The keypad lock segment is projected to hold a 59.7% market share by 2025, and additional reports predict that the digital door lock market is on track to hit $47.3 billion by 2033. This shows just how popular these solutions are becoming.

The big draw is the convenience, improved security, and sleek design. Whether it’s for front doors or interior doors, keypad locks reduce the risks of lost keys and unauthorized entry. You can install them on exterior doors to increase curb appeal with finishes like brass, satin nickel, matte black, satin chrome, stainless steel, or aged bronze—or use them indoors to protect home offices or storage rooms.

For homes already equipped with Vivint security systems or smart devices, upgrading to a keypad door lock is an easy next step toward a more connected lifestyle. And since many locks come with a mechanical keyway as a backup, you never lose access.

The power of keyless entry: Benefits that make life easier

Smart door locks offer several real-life benefits that save time and add peace of mind:

• No more key juggling. Enter your home with a simple code on the touchpad—no need to carry or copy keys.
• Remote access and control. Use the Vivint app to lock or unlock your door from anywhere.
• Custom user codes. Create unique access codes for family, friends, or service providers.
• Auto-lock functionality. Never worry if you locked the door on your way out.
• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled. Enjoy fast, reliable connectivity for real-time updates.

Plus, you can track entry history directly from your phone, which is useful for parents who want to check when their kids get home or for managing Airbnb properties.

Buying a smart lock also simplifies household logistics. Hosting a party? Give guests a temporary code. Need to let in a plumber while you’re at work? Do it from your phone. Keypad deadbolts make everyday access easy and flexible. The ability to reduce reliance on mechanical locks while offering flexible access makes smart locks a modern necessity.

This level of integration helps streamline your daily routines while increasing energy efficiency and safety.

Vivint locks support Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control them with voice commands. Integration with the Vivint app also allows easy scheduling of codes for housekeepers, dog walkers, or deliveries.

More importantly, these locks reduce human error. With customizable rules and automations, you never forget to lock up or switch off the lights. That’s peace of mind powered by intelligent tech.
