Kwikset FLEX: A New Era in Garage Door Openers with Amarr

For decades, homeowners have trusted Kwikset to secure their front doors and interior access points. Now, the leading name in locks is extending that same level of innovation and peace of mind to a new frontier: the garage.

This fall, Kwikset FLEX Garage Door Openers will make their debut, available only through Amarr dealers across the United States.

Expanding Security Beyond the Front Door

A front door lock may be the first line of defense, but the garage door is often the largest and most vulnerable entryway into a home. It’s a high-traffic access point for families and, unfortunately, an appealing target for intruders. Kwikset, long recognized as America’s most familiar lock brand, is stepping up to close that gap with the FLEX opener.

By combining proven lock security expertise with the mechanics of an advanced Garage Door Opener, homeowners gain a complete, integrated solution for safer and smarter access.

Exclusive Distribution with Amarr

The FLEX launch is not just another product release, it’s an exclusive collaboration with Amarr, a leader in garage doors and distribution. This ensures the new system will be supported by an experienced dealer network trained to deliver, install, and maintain garage door products.

The phased rollout begins October 13, 2025, in select U.S. cities, with nationwide availability by mid-November. Homeowners in early-launch areas will be among the first to experience this new blend of convenience and security.

Early Launch Cities Include:

  • Albuquerque
  • Atlanta
  • Columbia
  • Carolina
  • El Paso
  • Greenville
  • Inland Empire
  • Knoxville
  • Las Vegas
  • Phoenix
  • Raleigh
  • Virginia Beach

Why FLEX Stands Out

What sets Kwikset FLEX apart is its focus on transforming the garage into a secure, intelligent entry point. While specific technical features will be unveiled closer to the launch, the FLEX opener is designed to provide:

  • Strong Security Backing – Leveraging Kwikset’s reputation for durable, pick-resistant locks.
  • Smart Integration – Anticipated compatibility with smart home platforms for seamless control.
  • Peace of Mind – Families can rely on a trusted brand already protecting millions of homes.
  • Dealer Advantage – Amarr dealers receive first-hand training and resources to ensure proper setup and customer support.

Dealer Training & Webinars

To support the release, Amarr will host dealer webinars in October 2025. These sessions will give detailed insights into product benefits, installation techniques, and customer selling points. This structured training ensures dealers nationwide will be ready to confidently introduce the Kwikset FLEX to homeowners.

Dealers can already access technical information and promotional resources through Amarr.com and AmarrDealer.com, making it easier to prepare for customer inquiries.

Meeting Modern Homeowner Demands

Today’s homeowners expect more from their garage doors than just reliable movement. They want security, connectivity, and assurance that every point of entry is protected. The FLEX opener responds directly to these expectations by merging traditional mechanical performance with Kwikset’s security innovation.

For homeowners who already trust Kwikset for locks, adding FLEX to their garage creates a consistent, unified layer of protection throughout the home. For dealers, it’s an opportunity to provide a product that resonates with both safety and smart-home appeal.

Looking Ahead

The introduction of Kwikset FLEX marks the beginning of a broader shift in how the industry approaches garage door openers. No longer just a convenience accessory, the opener is becoming a central component of home security. Amarr’s exclusive role in bringing this product to market underscores its importance as a trusted distribution partner, while Kwikset continues to expand its leadership in residential access control.
