The Yale Assure Lever Entry Door Handle is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled smart lever lock with Grade 2 security and long battery life, designed for single-hole doors.

The LockState KeyInCode 3500 Series is a WiFi-enabled residential smart lever lock designed for rental properties with cloud-based management.
