Lake Forest, Calif.—Kwikset, a residential security brand under ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc., an ASSA ABLOY Group company, introduced Brentford, a front door handleset combining refined styling with dependable performance. The new offering aims to enhance both curb appeal and protection.
With its smooth arcs and crisp contours, Brentford adapts to modern and classic fronts. Each handleset comes in keyed and dummy versions, making it suitable for single-door entries or paired double doors. Kwikset notes that Brentford integrates with its interior knobs and levers collections, including Sora, Trafford and Sedona.
Brentford is sold in matte black and satin nickel, both featuring Microban antimicrobial treatment that reduces bacteria by up to 99.9% compared to untreated hardware. This added hygiene measure makes it ideal for frequently touched entry points.
“Brentford is transitional by nature — clean and elegant, yet adaptable to nearly any style of home,” says Amanda Archer, group manager of product marketing at Kwikset. “It’s designed to deliver on both form and function, all while offering the security of SmartKey re-key technology.”
Kwikset built Brentford into its Signature Series, resulting in a handleset engineered to deliver consistent function over time. All keyed models include SmartKey Security, a bump- and pick-resistant mechanism that lets homeowners create a new key in seconds without calling a locksmith.
Each unit meets Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association Grade AAA standards for security, durability and finish. The package contains a fully adjustable throughbolt that fits a wide range of existing door preparations and installs quickly with only a screwdriver.
Price tags start at $112.99. Brentford handlesets are available through Kwikset’s network of professional distribution partners.
