Kwikset, a leader in residential security and a registered trademark of ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc., an ASSA ABLOY Group Company, has introduced the Halifax LED Lever, a product that blends cutting-edge technology with sleek, contemporary design to enhance convenience, safety, and style in the home.
The Halifax LED Lever features an integrated LED light that illuminates the handle when motion is detected, making it easier to locate in the dark. A built-in motion sensor activates the light when movement is detected within 10 feet, based on room brightness of one lux, at a 108-degree angle. The light turns off after seven seconds of no motion to conserve energy. The 4000k LED light emits a natural white glow, providing energy-efficient illumination that is helpful during power outages, in dimly lit spaces, or in children’s bedrooms.
The lever’s design includes a sleek square rosette that adds a contemporary touch to any interior. It also features Kwikset’s exclusive premium chassis with dual compression springs that keep the lever straight and wobble-free over its lifetime. The lever is fully reversible and can be installed on either right-handed or left-handed doors.
The Halifax LED Lever is available in privacy and passage functions, making it ideal for various interior door needs. The privacy option, designed for bedrooms and bathrooms, includes a push-button lock with an emergency release tool. The passage option, suited for hallways and closets, allows for free operation from both sides.
Powered by a single AAA battery, the LED lever offers at least eight months of reliable performance, based on an average of 20 activations per day. The battery is easily replaceable, ensuring consistent functionality. Additionally, the lever includes Microban antimicrobial product protection, which helps keep the surface 99.9% cleaner than unprotected hardware.
“The Halifax LED Lever is designed to bring safety and convenience to modern living spaces while maintaining the sophisticated style our customers expect,” said Amanda Archer, Group Manager of Product Marketing at Kwikset. “Whether it’s guiding homeowners during a storm, helping children navigate the home at night, or offering added safety for older adults, this product delivers practical benefits with a refined design.”
The Halifax LED Lever is particularly beneficial in emergencies, such as power outages, and is ideal for short-term rental properties, providing guests with a safe and intuitive way to navigate unfamiliar spaces. The lever fits standard doors and includes an adjustable backset to accommodate various door dimensions.
Available in a matte black finish, the Halifax LED Lever is part of Kwikset’s Signature Series and meets ANSI/BHMA Grade AAA certification for security, durability, and finish. It can be installed in minutes with a standard screwdriver, offering an easy way to upgrade any home.
The Halifax LED Lever is available through Kwikset's professional channel distributors and dealers.
