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

Product Information

Once reset, the lock operated the same, but the ownership information was not released from the database. 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. It isn’t cheap by any means, and someone pointed to me – rightly so – that if I run out of batteries, it’s almost impossible to exit my house without breaking the lock first. Having to replace the cylinder potentially makes fitting the Linus slightly more difficult, so you may want to get in a professional installer. Similar to the Nuki Smart Lock, the Linus is designed to sit over your existing lock, turning a key.

There’s a little red button inside the lock, and the owner’s guide is a bit outdated in this portion. This leaves the main competition as the Brisant Secure Ultion Smart, which is an excellent lock, although you have to choose at the outset whether you want the Z-Wave-, Bluetooth- or HomeKit-compatible versions. Instantly let friends, family and home-service providers in even when you're not home, check your lock's status any time, and enjoy more peace of mind with instant alerts every time someone locks or unlocks your door. Again, if I’m away and the kids get locked out, there’s a way for them to access the house with the Yale Access app.Investing in smart home security systems can be integral to help protect what matters most, as it acts a visual deterrent for opportunistic thieves and helps put your mind at ease. And if you want to adopt a lock, the database must get a release request from the owner’s mobile app. Second, it should be possible for the lock to be operated from the outside when a key is inserted on the inside. 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. A stylish keypad that pairs with your Yale Linus Smart Lock to enable key code entry to your home and simpler, one-touch locking when you leave.

The downside is that once the lock notifies you that it’s time to change the batteries, you must find the time to do it. It’s battery operated, and the battery compartment is within the lock, installed inside the house – not on the exterior side. Finally, someone from the company got a hold of a phone with access to the owner information of my locks.The Yale Access app works with a wide range of Smart products, including Smart Locks and Smart Storage.

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. Once scanned, I couldn’t go past the adoption phase, as the lock was locked (pun intended) to the original installer’s Yale Access app. Measuring 147 x 58 x 52mm, the lock isn’t particularly chunky, but it may not fit if you have a door that opens outwards. With our keypad, you can provide unique codes for guests and family members – giving them another option for access.As such, multi-point lock owners will be better off with the Conexis L1, which locks when you lift the handle.
