Future Feature

A Kevo-compatible smartphone  
(or other mobile internet-connected 
device or tablet) must have Bluetooth 
Smart Ready/ Bluetooth 4.0 and an app 
specific to the device must be installed. 
Find out if your device is compatible at  

www.weiserlock.com/kevo/devices.

Kevo can be locked or unlocked with these devices:

A Kevo Fob is a Bluetooth device that 
provides the same touch-to-open 
convenience as a smartphone.

Additional fobs can be purchased 
as needed. Up to eight fobs can 
be enrolled in a single Kevo lock. A 
single fob can be enrolled in up to 25 
different Kevo locks.

Note:

 You may choose to use only 

Kevo fobs, only smartphones or a mix 
of both in your Kevo system.

Always make sure you have access 
to your standard key. You can use 
the SmartKey tool to rekey your lock 
so it works with your existing Weiser 
key. See the supplied SmartKey rekey 
instructions for more information.

Install the Kevo Lock

Download the Kevo App

Test Your Kevo Fob

Enroll Your First Smartphone

See the supplied Installation Guide for complete 
instructions, or view the installation video at 

www.weiserlock.com/kevo/support.

The calibration process is required to enable 
Kevo’s inside-outside security functionality. After 
successfully completing calibration, your Kevo’s 
inside-outside sensor will be enabled for your fob. 
When enabled, the sensor can help prevent your 
door from being unlocked by unauthorized users 
while your fob is inside.

Note:

 The calibration process is a device-specific 

activity. Kevo’s inside-outside sensor will remain 
disabled for any uncalibrated fob. 

See “Device Calibration” on page 2.

Note:

 The door handing process, Steps 21 and 22 in the 

Installation Guide, is crucial for lock operation. To check if the 
door handing process was completed, rotate the turnpiece on 
Kevo’s interior. If it doesn’t rotate smoothly, the door handing 
process was not performed correctly, and Steps 21 and 22 
should be performed again.

The fob that came with your Kevo lock 
is already enrolled in the lock. You must 

press and release

 the enroll button on 

the fob with a ballpoint pen to wake it up 
before you can start using it. When the 
fob’s LED flashes green, the fob is awake.

Download the Kevo app at

www.weiserlock.com/kevo/app 

Bring your fob and standard key outside 
with you and test to make sure that Kevo is 
communicating with your fob to lock and unlock. 
See “Normal Operation” for more information.

If your fob is unable to communicate with the 
lock, see the online Troubleshooting Guide at 

www.weiserlock.com/kevo/support

.

Follow the instructions inside the Kevo app to 
create an account and set up the lock to work with 
your phone. The phone used during first time setup 
will be assigned the only Owner eKey. See “All 
About eKeys” for more information.

Note:

 Your phone must have a data connection for 

first time setup.

H

Test Your Smartphone

Bring your phone and standard key outside with you 
and test to make sure that Kevo is communicating 
with your phone to lock and unlock. See “Normal 
Operation” for more information.

Send eKeys to Family & Friends

Follow the instructions inside the Kevo app to 
send eKeys to family and friends. Make sure 
your eKey recipients have Kevo-compatible 
smartphones. The eKey email notification will 
prompt the recipient to download the Kevo app 
and accept the eKey inside the app.

Note:

 It is highly recommended that all frequent 

users of your lock perform the calibration 
process to enable the inside-outside sensor for 
their devices.

See “Device Calibration” on page 2.

G

Calibrate Your Phone

The Kevo app will prompt you to calibrate 
your phone after it is enrolled. The calibration 
process is required to enable Kevo’s inside-
outside security functionality. After successfully 
completing calibration, your Kevo’s inside-outside 
sensor will be enabled for your device.  When 
enabled, the sensor can help prevent your door 
from being unlocked by unauthorized users while 
your device is inside.

Note:

 The calibration process is a device-specific 

activity. Kevo’s inside-outside sensor will remain 
disabled for any uncalibrated device. 

See “Device Calibration” on page 2.

Unlocking the Door 

from the Outside

Touch the deadbolt rose while your phone or fob is with you. You 
may need to turn towards the lock so that there is a clear line of sight 
between the lock and your device. The light ring will spin blue, then 
flash green twice, and you will hear two beeps (if switch #3 is on). 
The door will unlock.

If you are using a smartphone, it may beep or vibrate.

B

Locking the Door 

from the Outside

Touch the deadbolt rose while your phone or fob is with you. You 
may need to turn towards the lock so that there is a clear line of sight 
between the lock and your device. The light ring will spin blue, then 
flash amber once, and you will hear one beep (if switch #3 is on). 
The door will lock.

If you are using a smartphone, it may beep or vibrate.

Note:

 If the light ring turns blue, but shuts off without locking or unlocking your door, Kevo was unable to establish a connection with your device. 

Try touching deadbolt rose again. If this happens frequently, see the online Troubleshooting Guide.

C

Triple Touch Lock

This is a convenient feature that allows you to lock the door 
from the outside without the use of a smartphone or fob.  

You might use Triple Touch Lock if you are using only a 
standard key in your system but wish to lock the door by 
touch, if your smartphone or fob is disabled, or if you have a 
visitor in your home that will leave and lock the door behind 
them. 

Note: 

This feature is OFF by default. To enable it, flip Switch 

#2 to the ON position, then lock or unlock the door by 
touching the deadbolt rose.

To lock the door with this feature, touch the deadbolt rose 
three times, pausing briefly between each touch. The light 
ring will spin blue, flash amber, and you will hear one beep 
(if switch #3 is on).

CAUTION:

 With this feature enabled, it is 

possible to lock yourself outside if you don’t 
have an enrolled smartphone, Kevo fob or 
standard key with you.
