Yale Launches E-Commerce Site for Residential Locks and Hardware

by Definition Branding & Marketing Posted: Wednesday, 4/3/2013

NEW HAVEN, CT, April 2, 2013 – Yale residential locks and hardware are now available direct to consumers with the launch of Yale2You.com™, a new e-commerce site from Yale Locks & Hardware that offers consumers the opportunity to shop a variety of Yale residential products and provides tools to help consumers plan projects.

The new site, which launched today, makes it easy for consumers to find the Yale product that’s right for their needs, whether embarking on a remodeling project or looking for the perfect item to complement their existing décor.

On Yale2You.com consumers can browse the Yale line of keyless locks, deadbolts, knobs, handlesets, levers and accessories. To easily find which product best meets their needs, consumers can search by product type or function, and filter results by finish – polished brass, satin nickel or oil rubbed bronze permanent.

But the site offers more than just shopping. Yale2You.com also offers design inspiration. The site allows consumers to create a collage or mosaic working with Yale-provided images of products, artwork, décor items, colors, and shots of home interiors and exteriors. What’s more, consumers can upload their own images and mix and match Yale products to see how it all comes together. Yale2You.com will also soon offer a Project Planner to help the consumer inventory the spaces and doors in their home so they know exactly what needs to be ordered.

“In creating Yale2You.com, we wanted to offer consumers the opportunity to buy hardware online from a trusted brand, and at the same time make it easy and fun for them to find and buy the items they need to complement what might have been provided by their contractor or integrator, or what they purchased at their local retailer,” said Jason Williams, General Manager of Yale Residential.

Because the Yale product line includes a wide variety of products, collections and finishes, a key objective in designing the site was to make it easy for consumers to navigate and find exactly what they needed. Yale tapped IdentityMine, an interactive design, software development and user experience company.

“IdentityMine has had an amazing experience working with the Yale Locks and Hardware team to develop their first ever e-commerce site,” said Mark Brown, IdentityMine CEO. “We’re especially proud of the site’s clean design aesthetic and intuitive user experience. It’s as visually stunning as the products that are featured. We worked very closely with the Yale Locks team to design a site that would simplify the shopping experience for what is a very comprehensive line of household lock and key products.”

Yale Announces Availability of Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt That Streamlines Installation and Enhances Security

by Definition Branding & Marketing Posted: Friday, 3/15/2013

Yale Real Living_US15_Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt copyNEW HAVEN, CT, March 11, 2013 – Yale Locks & Hardware today announced the availability of a new keyless touchscreen deadbolt that offers streamlined installation, enhanced security and a clean, modern appearance compared to competing electronic deadbolts.

The new Yale Real Living™ Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt eliminates the cylinder and as a consequence offers homeowners superior security and dealers simplified installation. For homeowners, the absence of a cylinder means that the lock can’t be picked or bumped. For installers, it means that installation is a much smoother process. All currently available residential electronic deadbolts have a mechanical key override that adds complexity to the installation and burdens the homeowner with additional keys. By eliminating the key override, the new Yale lock appeals not only to security- and convenience-conscious homeowners, but to installers, too, since installation is easier and faster, especially since no keying is required.

Eliminating the cylinder also provides a clean appearance, creating another attractive design option in the Yale Real Living portfolio of home control and security solutions. For additional peace of mind for the homeowner, ample warning is provided before the lock’s batteries lose power, and if connected to a home control system the system will most likely generate “low battery” email or text alerts. Should the battery die, terminals on the bottom of the lock accept a nine-volt battery, which provides enough power to enter a valid code and gain access to the lock.

The new keyless locks come with a durable, acrylic touchscreen that is both easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. They support both Z-Wave® and ZigBee®, and are the only cylinderless Z-Wave and ZigBee enabled locks currently available.

“Our key-free lock demonstrates our commitment to product innovation, enhanced security and improved aesthetics,” said Jason Williams, General Manager of Yale Residential.  “It also shows our commitment to the dealer market, by providing a product that increases their efficiency and helps them provide a better customer experience.”

Regardless of the security or home automation system employed, users have access to a high degree of functionality, including the ability to lock and unlock doors from web-enabled devices or create customized entry scenes for family members, neighbors and guests.  Yale locks have a modular design allowing them to integrate into a wide range of security and home control systems, including Alarm.com’s emPower™, which supports both 2GIG and Interlogix, Honeywell’s Total Connect, DSC’s Connect 24, Control4, Crestron and the Vera Z-Wave® home control system by Mi Casa Verde, among others. The locks will be available from a number of sources, including:

Yale First to Offer Crestron Connected™ Residential Wirelessly Controlled Door Locks

by Definition Branding & Marketing Posted: Friday, 3/15/2013

NEW HAVEN, CT, March 11, 2013 – Yale Locks & Hardware today announced that its wirelessly controlled door locks now integrate with Crestron control systems to provide direct communication, control, management and monitoring of home security. The Yale Real Living™ line of access control locks – the first Crestron Connected™ residential door locks – enable homeowners to lock and unlock doors remotely from a Crestron touch screen or a mobile device, set schedules, and personalize access to the home.

The Crestron Connected initiative embeds Crestron control intelligence into a wide selection of third-party source equipment and display devices, such as projectors, displays, and audio/video receivers, to operate seamlessly with Crestron control technologies. Using Crestron infiNET EX™ wireless protocol, the new Yale Real Living wirelessly controlled door locks receive commands and send information to the Crestron controller, allowing other devices to come to life based on the lock’s activity.

Homeowners can lock or unlock doors from anywhere in the house using a Crestron touch screen or remotely using Crestron Mobile Pro®/Mobile Pro G® for Apple® and Android® mobile devices. When the door is locked or unlocked, the Crestron system can simultaneously turn lights on/off, adjust shades and temperature, and set the alarm. Homeowners can also give access to others and create a schedule to allow guests to enter the home on specific days, and program other settings tailored to each person. Each family member and guest receives a unique PIN, so the homeowner can monitor system activity. For example, the system can be set to automatically send a text message to parents when a child has arrived home from school. The system also monitors battery and alarm status. A Crestron Connected device is recognized natively by the Crestron processor and allows for full control capabilities out-of-the-box, without any special drivers or modules.

“Crestron has an outstanding reputation in the control and automation industry,” said Jason Williams, General Manager of Yale Residential.  “By integrating the Yale Real Living locks with Crestron products, we provide homeowners with the best of both worlds: a secure, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing lock, combined with a level of control that turns the home into a smart home.”

“We’re excited to announce this partnership with a trusted and well-respected company like Yale,” said Steve Samson, Crestron Director of Business Development. “Integration of Yale wirelessly-controlled door locks into a Crestron control system provides increased convenience to homeowners, enabling them to remotely grant access to visitors, track who and when visitors enter the home, and much more. Crestron and Yale are taking home security into the future.”

The Yale Real Living line of access control locks are currently available and can be ordered by Crestron dealers through Crestron, along with other Crestron products.

Yale Showcases Deadbolt and New Lever Locks Designed For Digital Home Integration At ISC West 2012

by Definition Branding & Marketing Posted: Thursday, 3/29/2012

LAS VEGAS, NV, March 29, 2012 - Following the successful debut of the Yale Real Living™ deadbolt in 2011, Yale has announced the addition of the Yale Real Living lever lock, expanding its line of locks specifically designed to integrate seamlessly into the digital home.

The lever versions of these locks provide consumers and security dealers with another attractive design option in the Yale Real Living portfolio of home control and security solutions.  Like the deadbolt locks, the lever locks are available in both durable acrylic touchscreen or simple, elegant, tamper-resistant keypad.  Unlike other intelligent locks available on the market, the Yale Real Living locks, which support both Z-Wave® and ZigBee®, were designed for interior security applications such as a home office or storage closet.

“Other so-called ‘intelligent locks’ are simply reworked versions of their company’s existing product,” said Jason Williams, General Manager of Yale Residential.  ”Our locks were designed from the ground up specifically to interface with today’s home control systems.  As a result, they will provide more seamless operation and a wider degree of functionality than our competitors’ offerings.”

Regardless of the security system employed, users will have access to a high degree of functionality, including the ability to lock and unlock doors from web-enabled devices or create customized entry scenes for family members, neighbors and guests.  Yale locks have a modular design allowing them to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of security and home control systems, including Alarm.com’s emPower™, 2Gig, Honeywell, Control4, and the Vera Z-Wave® home control system by Mi Casa Verde, among others.

Features of the new locks include voice assisted programming in English, Spanish and French; personalized access-control scenes for up to 250 users; and access to all user programmable settings via select user interfaces.  The new intelligent locks offer an elegant, next-generation home control solution for entryways and protected interior doors to make everyday living easier and safer.

The locks will be available from a number of sources, including:
