• If you have a Euro profile/DIN cylinder lock, you may well be able to install the Linus lock over your existing cylinder. To double-check this, please go to our compatibility checker.
• If you find you need a replacement cylinder, we have a fully adjustable cylinder specifically for the Linus Smart Lock range. Please find more information here. 

Although we try to be compatible with as many locks as possible, if you have a Euro profile/DIN cylinder there is a chance that you may need to change the cylinder. You can check this using our compatibility checker.

The Yale Linus^® Smart Lock L2 Lite offers simple, secure control through the Yale Home app when you’re within Bluetooth range.

For broader smart home integration, L2 Lite supports Matter over Thread, enabling compatibility with a wide range of popular devices and platforms. This means you can manage your lock locally or remotely via your preferred smart home system.

Because L2 Lite doesn’t include built-in Wi-Fi, connecting to third-party devices that don’t support Matter over Thread requires the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge (sold separately). The bridge also unlocks full remote access through the Yale Home app, so you can control your lock from anywhere.
