Kwikset Conducts National Survey, Learns What Makes Homeowners Feel Safe At Home
LAKE FOREST, Calif., Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent survey, commissioned by Kwikset and conducted online by Harris Interactive between July 20 – 24, 2012 among 2,208 adults ages 18 and older of whom 1,464 were identified as homeowners, found that 70 percent of American homeowners report that having deadbolt locks on their entry doors would make them feel safe and secure at home. And while safe and secure in their homes, 83% of homeowners say their favorite activity to do with their family is watching television or a movie.
Upon learning these statistics, Kwikset would like to help encourage families to create their own safe haven and spend more time together at home doing what they love, by declaring the month of September as Celebrate Your Safe Haven month. The month kicks off with the Celebrate Your Safe Haven sweepstakes which will award one lucky winner with a 55" Class CED 6000 Series Smart TV, Samsung Smart Home Theater, one-year Netflix subscription and a Kwikset $1,000 Home Security Makeover.
To enter the sweepstakes, like Kwikset on Facebook and you will have the opportunity to engage with the interactive Facebook tab, learn useful safety tips, share fun family activities with other fans, and learn and share smart security advice for the home. Fans will also get to experience a reinvented story of Little Red Riding Hood and why, thanks to Kwikset, the big bad wolf couldn't get in.
"Kwikset is committed to continuing to educate consumers on the best ways to keep their homes and families safe," said Tracy Haugh, senior brand manager, Kwikset. "Declaring September as Celebrate Your Safe Haven month allows us to offer useful information and a fun way to encourage families to take time during the month of September to celebrate their safe haven by doing things they enjoy together at home."
All of Kwikset keyed entry products are equipped with SmartKey® Re-key Technology, which allows homeowners to re-key their locks in seconds, without removing the lock from the door. SmartKey locks are incredibly secure and have passed the most stringent lock picking standards. Additionally, the patented BumpGuard™ technology provides superior protection against lock bumping. Kwikset provides the utmost in smart, simple home security.
