The stylish Halo Wi-Fi Smart Lock is the newest smart door lock from Kwikset. It gives you several ways to lock and unlock your door, such as entering a code on the touch-screen panel, giving voice commands to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, tapping a button in a mobile app, or using a key. It has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios and is pretty simple to set up.
The Halo is a full locking system made for standard doors that are between 1-3/8 inches and 2 inches thick. It comes with escutcheons for the inside and outside, a latch and strike, a pair of keys, four AA batteries, and different hardware for mounting.
The outer escutcheon has a sleek, modern look and comes in four different finishes (Matte Black, Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel, or Venetian Bronze). It is 5.5 inches tall, 2.7 inches wide, and 1.3 inches deep. It has a 2.5-by-2.7-inch touch screen and a keyway for using the keys that come with it to open and close your door.

Where to get Kwikset 99390-001 Halo Wi-Fi Smart Lock?
The touch screen is well-lit and has Kwikset’s SecureScreen technology, which makes two random numbers that you have to tap before you can enter your four-digit access code. This makes it harder for people to get in by looking for marks left on the screen after entering codes. The Halo has a built-in alarm that goes off if it is tampered with. It will also sound an alarm and send push and email alerts if three wrong codes are entered in a row. If this happens, the screen will be turned off for 60 seconds.
The interior escutcheon is 5.5 inches long, 2.7 inches wide, and 2 inches high. It has a thumb turn for manually locking and unlocking it, an LED light, and a panel that can be taken off to get to the program buttons and battery pack. During setup, one of the buttons is used to pair the lock, and the other is used to reset the lock, reset the network settings, and do manual door handing, which tells the lock whether it should be installed on the left or right side of the door. Inside the lock is a Bluetooth radio for short-range connections and a Wi-Fi radio that lets you control the lock from anywhere without a hub.
