LAKE FOREST, Calif. – The Kwikset® brand of Spectrum Brands, Inc. – Hardware & Home Improvement Division (HHI), now offers one-key convenience through SmartKey Security™ technology in select Kobalt Tools 3000 Series tool chests, available at Lowe’s. This unique feature will allow homeowners and trade professionals alike the convenience of one-key access for their home or workshop.
SmartKey Security is a patented feature that enables homeowners and trade professionals to quickly and easily re-key their locks so all can be accessed using the same key. Previously just available in door hardware, SmartKey Security was designed to make security simple, while also including advanced features to protect homeowners from common break-in methods such as lock bumping and picking.

With the new 3000 Series tool chests available with SmartKey Security, the ability to mix and match different sizes to build a custom work station that is accessible with a single key is now possible.
With this industry-first partnership, Kobalt Tools and Kwikset bring a streamlined, secure solution to the tool storage category.
