Get an electronic locking system and you can forget about physical keys

"Where do I put the key now?" You're going for a run, but there are no pockets in your workout clothes. Or you've ordered your house cleaned, but you have to run an errand and can't be there to let the cleaner get to work. Has your mother-in-law arrived a couple of hours early and is waiting outside in the rain and wind to come in while you're still on your way to an important meeting? 

Many homes have several keys in series, some of which are in active use and some of which act as spare keys. When needed, these keys are lent to friends or relatives, while others are hidden in places they consider safe. However, it is common for there to be scheduling problems in handing over or returning the keys, and for someone to have to flex their own schedule to get the keys to the right people. If a key is left unattended, there is a risk that it will fall into the wrong hands.

Fortunately, advances in technology have brought significant relief from everyday challenges. In addition to traditional mechanical keys, smart electronic solutions have been developed that offer a wide range of benefits. These include, for example, access cards, card-based systems, PIN codes and fingerprint recognition. In addition, the latest locking systems can be easily managed through mobile apps that can be downloaded to your phone. No more hiding a spare key under a flowerpot or doormat - modern locking systems make key management easy and secure.


Yale electronic locking system

24 Center's network of experts includes LukkoLuket Oy, which provides locking and security services. Anton Hietikko, Sales Manager at LukkoLuket, will present two Yale smart lock products that are popular on the Finnish market.

Yale Linus and Yale Doorman L3 can both be controlled via the Yale Home app that can be downloaded to your smartphone. This app allows you to open your door remotely in situations where, for example, a parcel is delivered by a courier but you are not on site to receive it. You can also set a time delay for the smart lock to automatically lock after a certain time after closing the door. Both apps are available for Android and iOS devices. In addition, you can also connect the key to smartwatches for added convenience in managing the lock.

Choose the right product for your needs: the Yale Doorman L3 offers complete freedom from mechanical keys. The Doorman L3 smart lock can be opened with a smartphone, a code or a key fob. Yale Linus allows full digital access, but also works alongside traditional mechanical keys.

Yale's locking system products are designed to withstand the challenges of Nordic conditions. They work reliably in both severe frosts and hot temperatures.


Benefits of electronic smart keys and locking systems

  • An electronic locking system gives you peace of mind, knowing that your doors are securely closed and locked. With an app downloaded to your phone, you can conveniently unlock and lock your doors remotely. The app also lets you check if the door is closed properly or accidentally left open.

  • The electronic locking system allows you to easily generate unique key codes, reducing the need to coordinate schedules for key movement. This avoids cumbersome arrangements and allows you to assign the necessary key codes to the right people. You can also create temporary key codes. These are particularly useful if you offer temporary accommodation, for example as an AirBnb provider in your own home or summer cottage.

  • The app is a handy way to see how your home is moving. You can view timestamps of when key codes, access codes or phone keys have been used, so you know exactly who has visited your home and when. This is also a particular relief for families where school children are just starting their school journey and leaving home alone for the first time.

  • With the electronic locking system, you can program a sensor that is automatically activated when your phone is near the door. This makes it easy to get in, whether it's after a shopping bag or a holiday, with suitcases and tired children, without having to dig your keys out of your pocket.

  • Electronic locking systems and smart locks can often be integrated with other smart home systems, such as smart home automation or security systems. This way you can improve the security of your home.
