Does the Kwikset Halo need a hub?

No. Wi-Fi is built into the lock, so it connects directly to your router and the Kwikset app.

Does it work with Apple HomeKit?

No. It supports Amazon Alexa and Google Home, not Apple HomeKit.

How long do the batteries last?

Kwikset rates it for about a year, but owners often report shorter life because the Wi-Fi radio stays active.

Can I give guests their own codes?

Yes. You can create separate user codes in the app and delete them when guests leave.

Will it fit my existing door?

It replaces a standard deadbolt and fits typical 2-1/8 inch bore holes, but check your door's backset and thickness first.

Can I still use a key?

Yes. It has a keyway as a backup, and you can rekey it to match your existing Kwikset keys.

Our take on the Kwikset 99390-001 Halo Wi-Fi Smart Lock Keyless

The Kwikset Halo is a keypad deadbolt with built-in Wi-Fi, so it connects to your home network without a hub or bridge. You can lock and unlock it from the Kwikset app, give guests their own codes, and use voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Home. It is a full-size deadbolt at 9.7 inches tall, so check that it fits your door's existing bore holes. It suits homeowners who want remote access and code management without buying extra hardware.
