Leading lock specialist Yale, has launched the brand new Conexis® L1 Smart Door Lock that puts users fully in control of their door, allowing them to configure, control and unlock the door all from a smartphone via a Bluetooth low energy App.
When investigating the smart home market, research revealed 62% of consumers want the ability to remotely lock and unlock their door from anywhere at anytime*. The Conexis® L1 does just that, enabling users to create and send mobile keys to family and friends, and keep track of who comes and goes simply using their smartphone. Thanks to the new Twist and Go functionality, homeowners can also twist their phone 90 degrees to unlock the front door, as well as having the choice of key tag, key card or phone tag.
Suitable for PVCu and composite doors with a thickness of 44-70mm, the lock has been specifically designed for quick and easy installation. It is compatible with most 92mm centred multipoint locks on the market and only requires a single screwdriver and tape measure to fit.
As such, Yale is advising locksmiths to invest in the future of door hardware, capitalising on the new lucrative revenue stream and providing customers with a robust security offering.
Stephen Roberts, Marketing Manager for Yale, comments: “The Conexis® L1 is the third smart door lock to join the Yale Smart Living range. We’re seeing huge growth in the connected home industry, and this is just one of the products designed to give locksmiths an easy entry point into the market place.
“Feeling safe and secure is a must for any homeowner. In addition to a tamper alarm, the Conexis® L1 is PAS24 accredited, providing the superior standard of security that Yale is famous for and also giving locksmiths confidence in the quality of the technology.”
When linked with a Yale wireless module, users can connect the Conexis® L1 to other Yale smart products, including the Yale Smart Home Alarm or Smart CCTV range, which can then be controlled via the free Yale Home app.
