Inside-Outside
Sensor
The Kevo lock features a sensor
that can tell if your device is

help prevent your door from being
unlocked by unauthorized users
while your device is inside.
Each device in your Kevo system
will automatically calibrate
to enable this sensor as of
software version 1.2.3. For more
information on calibration, go
to www.kwikset.com/kevo/
support.

noti cations or set up custom
noti cations to monitor a speci c
user or time frame.

added-security passcode that
you can enable inside the app to
be used in addition to the app’s
password. Enabling the passcode
will require you to enter a 4-digit
PIN whenever you access the app,
and it protects your Kevo account
against unauthorized changes
when your phone is unlocked.
Magenta Flash: Your device is outside of activation range.
Touch the deadbolt rose again. As of software version 1.2.3,

need to touch the lock a few times for it to learn your device's
new location.
Red Flash: The lock has detected an unauthorized device
within activation range. Kevo will not unlock . If this happens

Important Safeguards
1. Read all instructions in their entirety.
2. Familiarize yourself with all warning and caution
statements.
3. Remind all family members of safety precautions.
4. Always have access to your lock’s standard key.
5. If using the Triple Touch Lock feature, make sure
to have your smartphone, fob or standard key with
you to prevent locking yourself out.
6. Familiarize yourself with all light ring error
noti cations.
7. Replace low batteries immediately.
Preventing Inadvertent
Unlocking of Your Door
WARNIN G: Failure to follow these safeguar ds
could result in your lock opening inadvertently.
1. Avoid keeping and storing phones and fobs
unnecessarily close to the lock when inside the
home.
2. Restrict access to your Kevo lock’s back panel
and routinely check your settings to ensure they
have not been altered without your knowledge.
Bottom LED is Solid Red: The fob batter y is low and needs
to be replaced. See the online Troubleshooting Guide for
instructions.
Side LEDs Flashing Red: The deadbolt has jammed. Check
your door for alignment and make sure the latch bolt can
operate smoothly.
3. Protect the password to your Kevo app and web
portal accounts.
4. When sending an eKey, always double-check that
you are sending it to the correct recipient.
5. Protect and restrict access to your smartphone so
that your app settings cannot be altered without
your knowledge.
6. Enable the Kevo app’s security passcode so that
your app settings cannot be altered without your
knowledge.
7. 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.
8. If your smartphone is lost or stolen, use the Kevo
web portal (www.mykevo.com) to disable it.
9. 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 p anel can change your
Kevo lock’s settings, you mus t restrict access to the
back panel a nd routinely check your set tings to ensure
they have not been altered without your knowledge.
CAUTION: As wi th any radio-bas ed technology,
it should be noted tha t the accuracy and reliabilit y
of the Kevo lock’s inside -out side sens or canno t be
guaranteed. Users should not rely solely on the Kevo
lock’s s ensor for se curity pur poses and sh ould always
use caution. Kwikset assume s no responsibilit y for
incorre ct resul ts or damages resul ting from the use of
the Kevo lock’s sensor.
Cert ain home con gurations may impede the Kevo
lock’s sens or more than other s. Example: Your hom e
of ce is located next to your entryway, and part of
the of ce extends past the front door, jutting into the
front yard. If your device is being actively used in that
of ce extension, the Kevo lock’s sensor could possibly
detect the device as being outside of your home while
that device is in active use.
WARNIN G: This M anufac turer advises that no
lock can pr ovide complete security by itself. T his
lock may be defeated by f orcible or technica l means,
or evaded by en try elsewhere on the property.
No lock can substi tute for caution, awareness of
your environment, and common sense. Builder’s
hardware is availa ble in mult iple per formance grades
to suit the a pplication. In order to enhance security
and reduce risk, you should consult a quali ed
locksmith or other securit y professional.
Phones: After a sys tem reset, you will need to re-enroll and your Owner
phone. You will still be able to send eKeys at no charge to anyone who
previously had an active eKey at the time of reset.
Fobs: After a sys tem reset, all fobs will need to be re-enrolled. See the online
Troubleshooting guide for instructions.
