Update your home security this spring with help from Yale

Spring is a time for new beginnings. You clean up your life, your house, and start to focus on the areas that can be improved. When it comes to these updates, home security can often be neglected. With the simple tips and tricks from Yale, you can ensure that your home and garden are prepared for a more outdoor lifestyle and trips away during Easter and the warmer months ahead!

Keys can get damaged or lost - switch to a smart lock

Springtime weather can be a bit unpredictable and often quite cold, causing the lock on your door to stiffen. General wear and tear can also affect how well your keys work, making entry into your home harder than it needs to be.

Ditch your keys forever with the help of the Linus^® Smart Lock from Yale. With a modern, sleek design that will suit any home, Linus^® is programmed to unlock when it senses you near, allowing for easy, hands-free entry. The smart lock also has an auto-lock feature, ensuring that the door is locked every time you leave the house. Giving you more convenient and smoother access to your home, regardless of the weather.

It can be hard to keep track of whom you might have given a spare key to, with various neighbours and friends coming in and out of your life over the years. Eliminate the problem forever by upgrading to a smart lock this spring! With Linus^® you can grant virtual keys to neighbours, friends, or family that can be added or cancelled at any time on the Yale Access app. Giving you direct control over who has access to your home at all times.

Get your garden summer-ready with garden maintenance & CCTV

We often neglect our outdoor spaces in the winter so by the time spring rolls around, our gardens tend to become very unkempt. Providing potential intruders with the perfect location to lurk around your home waiting to strike.

Ensuring that all overgrown foliage is trimmed down is a good first step in the spring cleaning process, but why not take it one step further by investing in a quality CCTV camera for your home.

The Yale CCTV Cameras feature live HD viewing and enhanced night vision, giving you clear footage regardless of the weather or the time of day. The customisable detection feature also allows for monitoring of specific areas surrounding the home, giving you full protection for your garden and outdoor buildings.

Protect your outdoor shed with padlocks

Spring is the perfect time to clean out your sheds and other outdoor buildings to make room for summer essentials like garden furniture and barbecues. While you are getting your home summer-ready, make sure these buildings are secure with the help of Yale padlocks.

Yale’s range of standard, high, and maximum security padlocks will keep your belongings safe as they feature varying levels of security ranking to suit your individual needs. The Yale high-security padlocksare also weatherproof and are prepared to withstand all the challenges that come with the unpredictable spring weather.

Step your security up using smart lights

While we all enjoy the stretch in the evening that comes with spring, the nights can still be quite dark, leaving your home in a vulnerable position. This is why outdoor lighting is a smart investment during this time of year.

The Linus^® Smart Lock features integration with Philips Hue smart lighting and can be programmed to switch on as soon as you unlock the door. Ideal for dark spring nights to increase the visibility of your home's interior.

The Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm works with Philips Hue smart lighting to create the ultimate security deterrent, perfect for when you want to travel inthe summer months ahead. You can program your Philips Hue smart lights to flash and turn red when the alarm is triggered, notifying neighbours of any suspicious activity and scaring away potential intruders.

Thanks to the Yale range of smart home security products, you can enjoy a connected smart home experience tailored to suit your specific needs. For example, the Sync Alarm integrates with Yale Smart Cameras and offers the ability to add up to 40 accessories. Giving you a personalised security experience managed through your smartphone, all with no monthly fees! 

Store your valuables securely by investing in a safe

While you are reorganising your house, you might find that some of your more valuable items have been left without a secure home. Lyingout in the open for any burglar to target or steal. Keep your valuables secure and stored by investing in a Yale safe.

The Yale safe range comes with a variety of different security features to suit your needs. Open your safe with the option of keys, fingerprint, or pin code access depending on the level of protection you require.
