Protect your whole home for less with Yale Black Friday Deals
If you are looking to invest in a smarter, more secure home is there a better time than Black Friday to get started? But with so many deals and products to sort through, it can be a real struggle to figure out where to start and what is worth your money.
That is why our team at Yale is here to provide you with a step-by-step walkthrough of household security, both inside and outside the home. So that you may best weigh up your options before deciding on which of our incredible Black Friday deals you’ll partake in.
Step 1: Start With Your Entrances
You might be wondering where you should start when it comes to examining your home security. Well, the entry points of your home, meaning any gates, garage doors and front doors, are some of the first and most important areas to look at when it comes to home security. Investing in smart devices like smart openers and smart locks can help you enjoy enhanced convenience and greater levels of peace of mind. Avoid worrying about carrying around or losing your keys thanks to advanced home access!
The first place to start is with entryways like gates or garage doors! Our Yale Smart Gate and Garage Opener allows you to control and monitor any gate and garage doors already fitted with automation devices. Using this device, you can create a smoother commuting routine using the Yale Home app. The smart opener removes your need to keep track of a remote and allows you to automate your gates and garage doors to open for you automatically once you approach. The smart opener also lets you instantly know when your access points have been opened/closed thanks to a detailed activity feed. To not only allow you to keep better tabs on when these access points are used, but also make your evening commute run more smoothly.
Once you have conquered that first step it leads you onto what might be the most important area to secure within your house, the front door entryway. When it comes to securing entrances no device does this better than a smart lock. The Linus® Smart Lock is easy to set up and install and will blend in with any home. Is one of your biggest fears being locked out of your home with your kids due to losing your keys?
Well if it is then you’re not alone! Many consumers have noted this as a key reason for investing in a smart lock like Linus®. With Linus®, your door will unlock the moment it senses a registered phone or smart device like an Apple Watch near, offering hands-free, keyless entry. Alternatively, it can be unlocked using a preset code and a Yale Smart Keypad. You can also check whenever the door is locked or unlocked using detailed access logs on the app.
The Smart Opener and Linus® allow you to share virtual keys or codes with trusted individuals, like babysitters, cleaners, or family members, to grant them secure and controlled access to your homes, gates, and doors. This can be done using the same code thanks to the Yale Smart Security Ecosystem powered by the Yale Home app, to avoid the need to share or remember multiple access codes.
Step 2: Keep an eye on and protect your home interior
With so many rooms to protect and secure inside your home the idea of trying to keep them all safe can be a daunting and overwhelming task! Thankfully devices like smart cameras and alarms are an ideal way to keep an eye on and protect the inside of your home.
Fully controllable using the Yale View app, the Yale Indoor cameras provide customisable detection and monitoring, allowing for full protection with no monthly fees. The camera is also compatible with leading voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home to grant you full control using just voice commands.
And if you’re looking to better protect your whole home while everyone is out at work, school, or for the day, investing in a smart alarm is crucial. Our Sync Smart Home Alarm is easy to install and features motion sensors that can be fully or part-armed to protect various areas of the house, all of which are fully controllable using the Yale Smart Living Alarm app. The alarm can be paired with up to 40 accessories, to allow you to create a customised home security system that perfectly suits your family's needs. For smarter home protection, the Sync Smart alarm integrates with Linus®, so that the moment you open your door using Linus® your alarm will disarm automatically, to avoid any unnecessary or accidental alarm triggers.
Step 3: Secure your belongings and home storage
Once you make your way inside the house ensuring that dangerous or expensive items can be safely stored away is a top priority. Areas like kitchens and bathrooms can often be overlooked when it comes to home security but there are plenty of objects within these rooms that need to be kept locked away from children, visiting guests, or if you are renting out your property.
For kitchens and bathroom storage our discrete, ultra-compact Yale Smart Cabinet Lock can easily be mounted inside most cabinets and drawers to be completely hidden from view and is the easiest way to secure or childproof drawers and cabinets. The Smart Cabinet Lock allows you to use the intuitive Yale Home app to check any drawer and cabinet access history, with notifications sent directly to your phone, so they can see exactly when they have been opened. To grant you peace of mind knowing any dangerous items like medicine, cleaning products, or tools are always secure and kept away from kids or securely out of view.
And if you require more secure storage needs, particularly in areas like home offices or bedrooms, our Yale Smart safe is ideal for storing expensive items like laptops, jewellery, or any sensitive documentation. Our Smart Safe features a secure door that prevents tools from being used to open the safe and a locking mechanism with two anti-saw locking bolts. For added security, the safe’s alarm will go off after 5 incorrect entry attempts and lockdown for 5 minutes to prevent unwanted visitors. The Smart Safe can also be opened using the Yale Home app, or using voice commands thanks to integrations with leading smart assistants such as Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home.
Step 4: Get total garden security
Now that the entry points and the inside of the home are taken care of, the last area to be tackled during our security walk-through is the garden. A well-protected garden can do wonders for the safety of any home, as well as for your own peace of mind. You can ensure its protection by investing in CCTV and outdoor cameras.
Yale Outdoor Cameras and CCTV feature live HD viewing and enhanced night vision, giving users clear footage regardless of the weather or the time of day. Adding the Yale Front Door Camera - Light and Siren to your security set-up will enhance your garden's levels of protection as the outdoor camera, which can be controlled using the Yale View app, features a motion-activated spotlight that acts as a further deterrent.
All of these smart products are fine and good, but they can also be supported by tried and true analogue products as well! Our range of standard, high, and maximum protection bike locks and padlocks are designed to keep any bikes, motorbikes, and the sheds they’re stored in safe from break-ins, as they feature varying levels of security ranking to suit any needs. Our high and maximum protection padlocks are also weatherproof, so they can withstand anything the weather may bring well into the winter and beyond!
