Yale 05/101200/MB - Linus® Smart Lock - Matt Black - Keyless and Secure Door Lock

Product Information

Similar to the Nuki Smart Lock, the Linus is designed to sit over your existing lock, turning a key. A keyfob option would have been welcome, but even without it, this is an excellent smart lock – although anyone with a lift-to-lock door will want the keypad for the dedicated lock button. Our Linus® Smart Lock uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology encryption, as well as AES 128 bit and TLS encryptions, aka bank grade security for your data. Next, you stick the key in, then push the lock over the top and clip it in with its wings – and you’re done. Our Smart Lock can be integrated with top hosting platforms like Airbnb, so guests can come and go as they wish – and you don’t need to worry about lost keys.

And if you want to adopt a lock, the database must get a release request from the owner’s mobile app. Finally, the mobile app allows you to configure the lock by setting guest access codes, family access codes, an emergency code that always works, and how the lock operates. The benefits are that you don’t have to modify your door, and that you retain standard key entry from the outside. It’s also a step above the simple Nuki Smart Lock, which sports a chunkier design and is louder; Nuki’s only advantage is that it has an optional keyfob. Walking up to the door, pulling out your phone, locating the app, finding the lock and then tapping the button is a faff.Starting life on the consumer PC press back in 1998, David has been at the forefront of technology for the past 20 years. Once reset, the lock operated the same, but the ownership information was not released from the database. Everything we are today, we owe to the inspiration ingenuity of Linus Yale Senior and Linus Yale Junior. It’s battery operated, and the battery compartment is within the lock, installed inside the house – not on the exterior side.

Pair your Yale Linus® Smart Lock with the Yale Smart Keypad (not available yet), to provide code entry to your home and one-touch locking when you leave.

While Yale has previously gone down the road of having full replacement locks, the Yale Linus Smart Lock is different. I could have perhaps installed it myself, but I knew I would be traveling and very busy with everything else in the house – such as installing the kitchen top and the HVAC systems. It’s about 65 € (before taxes), so not prohibitively expensive but just expensive enough that I only got one for the main entrance.
