Caerus Handleset from Kwikset Makes Household Entry Easy for Busy Homeowners

LAKE FOREST, Calif.—Kwikset, a manufacturer of residential security products, and a trademark of ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc., an ASSA ABLOY Group Company company, has announced its latest front-door handleset: Caerus.

The popular access control company says its new handleset features a distinctive oversized backplate, tapered grip and a thumb piece-free design. Kwikset boasts that Caerus delivers a seamless, ergonomic experience for homeowners, and at the heart of the design is Kwikset’s patented KwikSlide technology — a technology the company claims is a first-of-its-kind, slide-to-unlock grip that replaces the traditional thumb piece.

“Caerus combines showstopping style with a fresh approach to everyday functionality,” comments Amanda Archer, group manager of product marketing at Kwikset. “With KwikSlide technology, we’ve reimagined the entry experience for today’s modern homes — no thumb piece, no strain, just smooth, intuitive operation.”

Kwikset Caerus Incorporates SmartKey Security Technology

With KwikSlide, the company continues, all users need to do is simply slide the grip down with an elbow, wrist or whatever’s handy once the deadbolt is unlocked to retract the latch and open the door. Caerus, Kwikset states, makes entry effortless, especially for busy households, full hands, children and older adults.

As part of the Kwikset Signature Series, the Caerus handleset was developed to offer homeowners reliable security and performance. The keyed handleset includes SmartKey Security technology, which protects against advanced break-in techniques and allows homeowners to re-key the lock themselves in seconds. Certified Grade AAA by the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) for security, durability and finish, the keyed handleset also meets the highest standards in residential hardware.

Kwikset points out the handleset’s oversized backplate offers a high-end look while still fitting standard size doors 1-3/4-inches thick. The company also points out that installation of the product is simple with just a screwdriver, and the handleset’s fully adjustable throughbolt accommodates most preexisting door configurations.

Caerus is available in both keyed and dummy functions, and finishes include satin nickel, matte black; polished chrome, and satin nickel and matte black options that include Microban antimicrobial protection, which Kwikset says, keep surfaces 99.9% cleaner than unprotected hardware.

Retail prices for Caerus start at $235.

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
