Understanding Your Kwikset Halo Touch System
The Kwikset Halo Touch is a smart lock system that allows keyless entry via fingerprint, keypad, or smartphone app. It is designed to be flexible, supporting multiple locks on a single system. Adding a second lock involves pairing the new lock with your existing system and configuring it properly.

Installing the Second Lock
Begin by physically installing the new lock on the door following the manufacturer’s instructions. Once installed, proceed with the pairing process to connect it to your existing system.
Pairing the Lock via the Kwikset App
Open the Kwikset app on your smartphone. Navigate to the device management section and select “Add Lock” or similar option. Follow the on-screen instructions to put the new lock into pairing mode, which typically involves pressing a specific button on the lock.
The app will search for the lock and establish a connection. Once paired, assign a name to the new lock for easy identification.
Configuring the Second Lock
After pairing, customize the lock settings. You can set user access codes, fingerprint options, and remote access permissions. Ensure that the lock is functioning correctly by testing unlocking and locking through the app.
Final Checks and Tips
