Front Door Handleset Merges Modern Design with Innovative Functionality

Kwikset has introduced Caerus, a new front door handleset that transforms everyday entryways with bold, modern design and intuitive functionality. Featuring a distinctive oversized backplate, tapered grip and a sleek thumbpiece-free design, Caerus elevates curb appeal while delivering a seamless, ergonomic experience.

At the heart of the design is a patented slide-to-unlock grip that replaces the traditional thumbpiece. Homeowners can simply slide the grip down with an elbow, wrist or whatever’s handy once the deadbolt is unlocked to retract the latch and open the door. Caerus makes entry effortless, especially for busy households, full hands, children and older adults. It is available in both keyed and dummy functions, bringing versatility to single and double front doors. Finishes include Satin Nickel, Matte Black and Polished Chrome; Satin Nickel and Matte Black featuring Microban antimicrobial protection to keep surfaces 99.9% cleaner than unprotected hardware.
