Kevo-Compatible Devices
Smartphones and
Smart Devices
A Kevo-compatible smartphone (or
other mobile internet-connected device
or tablet) must have Bluetooth Smart
Ready/ Bluetooth 4.0 and an app
specific to the device must be installed.
Find out if your device is compatible at
www.kwikset.com/kevo/devices.
Kevo Fob Standard Key
A Kevo Fob is a Bluetooth device that
provides the same touch-to-open
convenience as a smartphone.
Additional fobs can be purchased
as needed. Up to eight fobs can
be enrolled in a single Kevo lock. A
single fob can be enrolled in up to 25
different Kevo locks.
Note: You may choose to use only
Kevo fobs, only smartphones or a mix
of both in your Kevo system.
Always make sure you have access
to your standard key. You can use the
SmartKey tool to rekey your lock so
it works with your existing Kwikset
key. See the supplied SmartKey rekey
instructions for more information.

Advanced Features All About eKeys System Reset
Inside-Outside Sensor
A
The Kevo lock features a sensor that can tell
if your device is inside or outside your home.
When enabled, it can help prevent your door
from being unlocked by unauthorized users
while your device is inside.
History Log
C
A history of the lock’s activity may be viewed
through the Kevo app or by logging into the
web portal: www.mykevo.com.
Notifications
B
The Kevo app can send notifications when the
door is locked and unlocked by eKey holders.
You can choose to receive the system’s default
notifications or set up custom notifications to
monitor a specific user or time frame.
Kevo App Passcode
D
Kevo features an optional, 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.
An eKey is an electronic key that can be sent to family and friends
with Kevo-compatible smartphones. The first phone you enroll
with the lock will automatically receive the only Owner eKey,
and an additional eKey will be added to your account so you can
send it to a friend or family member. Additional eKeys can be
purchased as needed through the app.
When you send eKeys to family and friends, you can choose
which eKey type they receive.
Like an Owner eKey, Admin eKeys give the recipient the ability to
purchase, send, disable and delete eKeys, view a lock’s history and
receive notifications. Admin eKey holders can delete other Admins
in the system, but they cannot delete the Owner.
Anytime eKey holders can lock and unlock your Kevo, but they
cannot manage eKeys.
Disabling eKeys
You can disable an eKey from an individual user within the app or
web portal (www.mykevo.com). Disabling an eKey will temporarily
disallow access to the Kevo lock until you re-enable it.
Deleting eKeys
Deleting an eKey will permanently remove that eKey from your
system.
WARNING: Resetting your Kevo system will
restore your lock to factory default settings and
delete all smartphones and fobs from Kevo’s
memor y.
If you wish to perform a system reset, press and hold
the Reset button on the back panel for 10 seconds until
the lock beeps and the light ring flashes red.
Phones: After a system reset, you will need to reenroll and calibrate 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 system reset, all fobs will need to be
re-enrolled and calibrated. Follow the instructions in
“Enrolling a Fob” and “Fob Calibration.”

Device Calibration
The calibration process is required to
enable Kevo’s inside-outside security
functionality. When enabled, the insideoutside sensor can help prevent your door
from being unlocked by an unauthorized
user while your device is inside. After
successfully completing calibration, your
Kevo’s inside-outside sensor will be enabled
for your device, and your lock’s activation
range will be optimized for your device and
entryway. Activation range refers to the
area around the lock in which it can detect
your device and respond to touch.
Note: The calibration process is a
device-specific activity. Kevo’s insideoutside sensor will remain disabled for any
uncalibrated device.
Note: Each calibration environment is
unique. As a result, multiple attempts may
be required before a successful calibration
is achieved.
Learn more about calibration at
www.kwikset.com/kevo/support.
Where to Calibrate
A
When performing the calibration
process, keep your device in the front
pocket of your pants and remove all
other contents from your pocket. For
best results, stand at an extended
arm’s reach from the lock and align
your pocket to establish a clear line
of sight between the lock and your
device. If you have questions regarding
where to calibrate, consult the online
Troubleshooting Guide.
Note: You will not necessarily need
to keep your device in the pocket in
which it was calibrated during normal
operation. See “After Successful
Calibration.”

C E FD
Smartphone Calibration After Successful Calibration
Inside the Kevo app, navigate to your lock’s
settings and tap “Calibrate.” Follow the prompts
within the app.
Unsuccessful Calibration
If calibration is initially unsuccessful, attempt
calibration again and adjust the orientation and
proximity of your device. If it continues to be
unsuccessful after multiple attempts, see the online
Troubleshooting Guide, or contact the Kevo Support
team for assistance. If needed, you may temporarily
disable Kevo’s Touch-to-Open functionality until
successful calibration is achieved. See “Temporarily
Disabling Touch-to-Open Functionality.”
Once your device has been successfully calibrated,
you do not necessarily need to keep your device in
the pocket in which it was calibrated. During normal
operation, you may hold it in your hand, put it in
another pocket, or keep it in a purse or backpack.
Pocket: For best results during normal operation,
turn toward the lock so that there is a clear line of
sight between the lock and your device.
Purse and backpack: For best results during
normal operation, store your device in the
outermost pocket of your purse or backpack, and
turn it towards the lock so that there is a clear line
of sight between the lock and your device.
Temporarily Disabling
Touch-to-Open Functionality
Kevo provides multiple options to disable communication
between the Kevo lock and your devices until successful
calibration is achieved:
• Utilize the built-in motion detection in the Kevo app and
fob (when the devices are not in motion for 30 seconds or
longer, they will no longer communicate with the lock).
• Sign out of the Kevo app.
• Put your fob in sleep mode by pressing and holding the
fob’s enroll button for 10 seconds until it flashes red. To
wake up the fob, press and release the fob’s enroll button.
When the fob’s LED flashes green, the fob is awake.
• Remove the battery pack from Kevo’s interior and use your
standard key.

Important Safeguards Need Help?
Regulatory Compliance
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 notifications.
7. Replace low batteries immediately.
Preventing Inadvertent
A
Unlocking of Your Door
WARNING: Failure to follow these safeguards could
result in your lock opening inadver tently.
1. Calibrate all devices in your Kevo system.
2. Avoid keeping and storing calibrated phones and fobs
unnecessarily close to the lock when inside the home.
3. If you are unable to calibrate your device, temporarily disable
Kevo’s Touch-to-Open functionality.
4. Restrict access to your Kevo lock’s back panel and routinely
check your settings to ensure they have not been altered
without your knowledge.
5. Protect the password to your Kevo app and web portal
accounts.
6. When sending an eKey, always double-check that you
are sending it to the correct recipient.
7. Protect and restrict access to your smartphone so
that your app settings cannot be altered without your
knowledge.
8. Enable the Kevo app’s security passcode so that your
app settings cannot be altered without your knowledge.
9. 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.
10. If your smartphone is lost or stolen, use the Kevo web
portal (www.mykevo.com) to disable it.
11. If a fob in your Kevo system is lost or stolen, reset your
lock to delete it from memory.
CAUTION: The calibration process, which enables the lock’s inside-outside
sensor, is an important security measure ; however, as with any radio-based
technology, it should be noted that the accuracy and reliability of the Kevo
lock’s inside-outside sensor cannot be guaranteed. Users should not rely
solely on the Kevo lock’s sensor for security purposes and should always use
caution. Kwikset assumes no responsibility for incorrect results or damages
resulting from the use of the Kevo lock’s sensor.
Certain home configurations may impede the Kevo lock’s sensor more than
others. Example: Your home office is located next to your entryway, and part of
the office extends past the front door, jutting into the front yard. If your device
is being actively used in that office extension, the Kevo lock’s sensor could
possibly detect the device as being outside of your home while that device is
in active use.
CAUTION: Prevent unauthorized entry. Because anyone with access to
the back panel can change your Kevo lock’s settings, you must restrict
access to the back panel and routinely check your settings to ensure
they have not been altered without your knowledge.
WARNING: This Manufacturer advises that no lock can provide complete
security by itself. This lock may be defeated by forcible or technical
means, or evaded by entry elsewhere on the property. No lock can
substitute for caution, awareness of your environment, and common
sense. Builder’s hardware is available in multiple performance grades
to suit the application. In order to enhance security and reduce risk, you
should consult a qualified locksmith or other security professional.
