Kwikset® FLEX Garage Door Openers: Exclusive Launch with Amarr

When it comes to home security, most people immediately think about front doors, smart locks, or advanced alarm systems. However, one of the largest and most frequently used entry points in your home is the garage door.

For years, Kwikset has been the most consumer-recognized lock brand in the United States, known for innovation and trust in residential security. Now, Kwikset is expanding its expertise to a new frontier with the launch of the Kwikset FLEX Garage Door Opener, an exciting development that is set to redefine how homeowners think about garage safety and convenience.

A Strategic Partnership with Amarr

Why Kwikset FLEX Matters

The garage door has traditionally been seen as a point of convenience, an automated way to enter and exit the home. However, it is also a potential vulnerability. Burglars and intruders often target garages because they can provide direct access to the interior of the house.

By integrating Kwikset’s security expertise into garage door openers, homeowners gain peace of mind knowing their largest entryway is protected with the same level of innovation that secures their front door.

Key benefits of the Kwikset FLEX include:

  1. Enhanced Security Features – Kwikset’s proven technology brings advanced protection against forced entry, ensuring that the garage is no longer a weak link in home security.
  2. Smart Home Compatibility – While official specs will be detailed closer to launch, Kwikset has consistently delivered smart-enabled solutions, so integration with existing smart home ecosystems is expected.
  3. Trusted Brand Recognition – Homeowners already familiar with Kwikset locks will instantly recognize the reliability and trust associated with the brand.
  4. Exclusive Dealer Support – By working through Amarr, dealers receive training, marketing support, and access to product webinars, ensuring smooth adoption and customer education.

Dealer Training and Support

To prepare for this rollout, Amarr will host product webinars in October 2025, equipping dealers with the knowledge they need to present, install, and service the Kwikset FLEX. Specific dates and times will be announced shortly, and dealers are encouraged to participate to stay ahead of the curve.

In addition, detailed product information is already available on Amarr.com and AmarrDealer.com, making it easy for dealers to review features, specifications, and sales resources.

The Future of Garage Door Security

This launch underscores a growing trend: homeowners want more than just functionality from their garage doors. They want security, convenience, and integration with their broader smart home ecosystems. The Kwikset FLEX aims to deliver on all these fronts, combining the robust mechanics of a garage door opener with cutting-edge security solutions.

For homeowners, this means no longer having to compromise between convenience and safety. For dealers, it represents an opportunity to be the first to bring a game-changing product to market.
