Yale goes digital

Home security with high-tech security locks

Yale is taking a step further in home security by going digital with high-tech security locks. The digital locks come with a range of features, including an alarm and an additional security beyond pin codes. These digital locks are aimed for corporate offices.

The Yale YDR3110 and the YDG313 has two access solutions: The pin code and an RF card key. The former has an invisible keypad, which reveals itself only when the user touched the screen with their palm, while the latter has a Magic Mirror, which reveals the keys upon touching them. They both have a fire alarm, which detects smoke and temperature reaching 60 degrees Celsius.

The first image on the right is the YDR3110s indoor side, it shows spinning bolts, which makes it difficult to saw them off. The YDG313 has a visitor code, which works once after use. This means if the user is expecting someone, they could set up the visitor code, which the guest will use to gain entry. This digital lock is designed for frameless glass doors.

The YDR4110 sets itself apart by having the one-touch Fingerprint verification swifter access.

While all that was mentioned so far had been leaning more toward the corporate side, the YDM3212 was designed for home use. From inside the home, the door can be unlocked any time, however, from outside, a pin code is required before it unlocks. The first image below shows the proximity card being used to unlock the YDM3212.

Each of the digital locks needs four alkaline batteries, which is believed would last eight to twelve months. Each of these devices has a panel underneath, where a 9-volt battery can fit. This is for instances where batteries have ran out while the user is outside.

As technology move forward, the sophistication of gadgets lessens on your side, making it harder for any intruder to break in.
