Kwikset expands contemporary collection at IBS 2015
LAS VEGAS (January 20, 2015) – As modern home design continues to gain traction among consumers, Kwikset®, the leader in residential door hardware, expands its contemporary collection with three new levers to provide homeowners a variety of accessible and sophisticated modern hardware. Kwikset is showcasing the levers – Lisbon, Montreal and Sydney – at the 2015 NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) in advance of their launch in summer 2015.
The sleek design expansion of Kwikset’s ADA-compliant levers gives builders and homeowners more affordable options for incorporating modern hardware into their homes. Lisbon and Montreal feature a square base with curved accents, while Sydney’s round foundation is accentuated with soft lines. The simple but unique details make the designs the perfect hardware accent for any modern or transitional home.
“Homeowners expect a combination of style, durability and security when choosing the right door hardware to complement their home décor, and our contemporary collection delivers on all three aspects to provide a chic and functional hardware option,” said Marty Hoffmann, vice president, marketing, Kwikset.
In response to the growing number of multigenerational homes, the interior privacy levers feature ADA-compliant push buttons, offering an easy way of locking and unlocking. In addition, the entry levers feature Kwikset’s patented SmartKey® Re-key Technology with BumpGuard™ protection, providing the ultimate in safety and security. The hardware line delivers on functionality, security and design at an accessible price point for a variety of homeowners.
Lisbon, Montreal and Sydney levers are offered in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome and Satin Chrome. The levers complete Kwikset’s full contemporary collection, including the streamlined Halifax and Milan levers and deadbolts. Builders and homeowners can mix and match the levers and deadbolts for a unique pairing of modern hardware.
