The Smart Cabinet Lock

So what is the Smart Cabinet Lock? It's a smart security device that will seamlessly integrate into your home. The ultra-compact lock can easily mount inside most cabinets and drawers to be completely hidden from view, so as not to distract from the overall design of your home. Granting you and your family a safer way to store medicines, cleaning supplies, or even treats inside securely locked cabinets.

The Smart Cabinet Lock is fully controllable through the Yale Access mobile app. Allowing you to lock, unlock, and share access to your cabinet with trusted individuals and the people within your home using temporary or permanent virtual keys, from anywhere at the touch of a button. You can also know who has access to your cabinet or drawer and when, thanks to notifications and activity monitoring on the Yale Access app.

The Smart Cabinet Lock will also send you notifications via the Yale Access app when the battery is running low, and if it dies altogether don’t worry! You will still be able to access the contents of your cabinet as the lock will auto-unlock. 

Childproof your home 

If you are a parent, you can understand the struggle of keeping little hands away from dangerous items like cleaning supplies, tools, alcohol or medicine. The Yale Smart Cabinet Lock is here to make childproofing your home simple, as anything worth keeping away from children can be tucked away and guarded for safekeeping. 

Childproofing doesn’t have to just revolve around safety though, the Smart Cabinet lock can also help parents to keep their children away from any unhealthy food they have stored within the house by locking it up securely. Say goodbye to sneaky snack runs, as parents can use the Yale Access app to see drawer and cabinet access history. With notifications sent directly to their phone, to see exactly when these cabinets have been opened. So parents can always be sure that everything in the cupboard stays exactly as they left it. 

Secure any items left within your office while you work from home, and keep them out of reach of children using the Smart Cabinet Lock. By placing the Smart Cabinet Lock on your cupboards and drawers you can safeguard any valuables, like company laptops or important client files. Storing them away while they aren’t in use to avoid scenarios like young children using your laptop and accessing significant documents, or deleting any of your work by mistake.

Grant smoother access for home services

Run your household jobs more smoothly, while still keeping your family safe with the Yale Smart Cabinet Lock. The Smart Cabinet Lock can be programmed to lock automatically once the cabinet door or drawer is closed, ensuring consistent protection from dangerous items for your children and family. 

You can grant cabinet access to trusted service providers for any necessary supplies stored in cabinets, thanks to remote functionalities enabled by the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge. For example, if your housekeeper needs access to cleaning supplies, or the handyman has to get into the tools drawer urgently, you can unlock the cabinet for them anytime, no matter where you are. 

You can also add a Yale Smart Keypad, which would allow you to unlock cabinets and drawers without using a phone. So, for example, if your phone has died, you and any trusted service providers could still open any cabinets to get to the items inside. The Smart Cabinet Lock opens up a world of additional flexibility and convenience, helping hired providers complete their tasks, while still keeping your family safe.

Simplify storage for renters and property owners
