Personally, I’d match the interior and not worry about the exterior. The exterior trim color is only visible on a slim side wrap around the keypad but is prominent on the inner housing, so choose accordingly.
The Obsidian fits standard thickness doors (13⁄8 inches to 2 inches) with no screw holes needed and is available in two finishes including Venetian Bronze (dark) and the one we tested, Satin Nickel. The Obsidian is only a keypad if you are looking for a unit with a keyway as well, the 916 remains an excellent alternative. In the timeframe in which the numbers have begun to wear off a pushbutton lock from another manufacturer, the touchscreen design on our Kwikset 916 ( reviewed in June 2016) still looks new. More than just a fancier design, there are some practical advantages for touchscreens over pushbutton locks - mainly the numbers don’t show dirt or wear, a quick and easy way to thwart such systems.
The Obsidian is a motorized deadbolt lock with a touchscreen keypad for control. We have reviewed a number of electronic locks, including units with touchscreens (deadbolt and lever handle models), push-button locks of both types, and even a deadbolt-only smart lock with no means of exterior access (other than the key, of course).Ĭompleting the picture is the Kwikset Obsidian Electronic Touchscreen Deadbolt (Obsidian), which lacks a cylinder (keyhole), presenting just a small (approximately 21⁄2-inch X 3-inch) rectangle that turns into an illuminated touchscreen when activated.
