The Yale Assure Lock 2 Black Suede is a feature-rich smart deadbolt with built-in Wi-Fi, fingerprint recognition, and Apple Home Key support.

The Yale Matte Black Keyed Deadbolt Smart Lock with Google Matter is a future-proof smart lock featuring Matter over Thread technology for cross-platform integration.

It is ideal for multi-platform smart homes seeking broad compatibility without ecosystem lock-in.
