About this product
The Yale Keyless Connected Smart Door Lock offers a modern solution to traditional key access, providing enhanced security and convenience for homeowners looking to simplify their lives. This smart lock allows you to secure your property using a variety of methods, including PIN codes, key cards, key tags or fobs – eliminating the worry of lost keys. It’s ideal for those who value both security and ease of use, particularly those with frequent visitors or needing temporary access control.
Featuring an 80dB internal tamper alarm with bank-level encryption, alongside a robust incorrect pin code feature that disables access after three failed attempts, this lock provides a significant boost to your home’s security. The illuminated keypad ensures clear visibility and ease of operation, while the thumbturn offers accessibility for all users. Included is a key tag, a key card, and four AA batteries, along with a quick guide in multiple languages.
Designed for straightforward installation, the standard British nightlatch fitting makes this lock a simple retrofit for most properties. The ability to set 20 unique PIN codes or temporary 24-hour access codes provides flexibility for visitors and allows you to manage access remotely via the Yale Home app (when paired with the optional Yale Connected Module). It’s also compatible with iOS devices, offering control through Bluetooth connectivity.
The lock itself is constructed from brass with a vinyl coating finish and measures 7 x 5 x 15 centimetres. Consider that smartphone/remote access requires the separate Yale Connected Module for full functionality. The manufacturer provides a two-year warranty on this product.
