About this deal

Models like this are built to be as tough as any standard lock, but use Bluetooth to unlock with the tap of a button when you're nearby. The most advanced options work with voice commands and support third-party smart home devices and services.

We installed the locks into our test door(s), and connected them to an accompanying app and/or wider smart home platform like Alexa, Google Home or Apple Homekit. Generally speaking, smart locks are either padlocks with smart or biometric features, or full systems that replace door locks for access and entry into your home. When you approach your home again and enter a geofence near the smart lock, the app Bluetooth scans for your smart lock. Inspired by a 4,000 year old Egyptian wooden lock, he built the first models of the pin-tumbler lock he had developed. The lock can be operated via codes, which can be permanent “master codes”, revocable “user codes” or 24-hour temporary codes, by a fob or card, or by the Yale Home App when connected to the Yale Connect wifi bridge.In place of the standard euro cylinder lock is a thin, internal latching cylinder, entirely hidden withing the centre of your door so it's impossible to reach from the outside. Another cost consideration is the accessories, such as separate hubs to connect smart locks to wider smart home systems, extra fobs for family members, and in some cases separate keypads for extra security. But it’s still an excellent lock for holiday rentals, where a new code can be generated for each new arrival.

Thanks to the number pad, you can create a range of codes, including time-sensitive, single-use and permanent ones, directly lock and unlock via the Igloohome app over Bluetooth, link RFID tags and cards, use your fingerprints and, as a last resort, there are physical keys too. It’s a smart padlock that cleverly syncs with your AirBnB calendar to create unique PIN-codes for your guests. In addition, the same Yale wireless module plugs into the top of the internal lock body, linking the Yale Conexis L1 with the wider Yale ecosystem. The simplest of the locks on test, the Bold is simply a euro cylinder lock with a battery-powered Bluetooth unit on the outside end.The Linus lock is one of Yale’s most recent forays into smart locks, and takes a more US-style approach to tackle the problem of smartening up home security. This is probably partly due to the Apple HomeKit connection but also down to it being a solid product. Access restrictions for both methods are configured on the pad itself; you can add up to 20 tags and 20 codes at once. The Igloohome Smart Padlock 2 and Bridge is a smart choice if you want to remotely monitor and share access to everything from your shed, to your gated property, to your bicycle.
