Yes, SmartKey re-key technology provides additional security: • SmartKey is available in an ANSI Grade 1 deadbolt- certified the highest level of residential security. • SmartKey offers BumpGuard™ protection, to protect against lock bumping, an attack technique that can defeat conventional pin and tumbler locks. • SmartKey is pick-resistant and passes the highest test standard against lock picking—UL 437. • SmartKey provides the flexibility to re-key your locks, yourself, in seconds, as frequently as you wish. If you lose a key or loan out a key that you didn’t get back, you can re-key your locks and secure your home in seconds.
