Yale Assure Lock SL – The Slimmest Electronic Deadbolt!

For anyone who hates carrying keys around, smart locks can be the best way to lock up and secure a home. While some models stand out as a bulky eyesore on an otherwise beautiful door, the Yale Assure Lock SL from Yale Locks & Hardware is the slimmest electronic deadbolt currently on the market.

Like other smart locks, the Yale Assure Lock SL features a touchscreen, key-free design. It can be used as a stand-alone keypad deadbolt or paired with a Yale Network Module for complete integration into other smart home systems such as Amazon Alexa, SmartThings, and more. With its small footprint and slim profile, this Yale lock will blend in with the door better than its competitors. It features a black keypad and metal bezel available in satin nicked, oil rubbed bronze, or polished brass.

Just because Yale has trimmed the fat does not mean the new lock sacrifices either quality or functionality. The entire device is built to withstand the elements. The brightly lit touchscreen is capacitive and wakes up with a single press. With its keyless design, there is no chance of anyone picking the lock. As a standalone deadbolt, the Yale Assure Lock SL can hold up to 25 codes. When combined with a network module, it can hold up to 250. These can be changed or deleted at any time.

Whether you do it from the start or upgrade down the road, combining the Assure Lock SL with a Yale Network Module provides complete integration with pre-existing home automation or alarm systems. Network modules include the Z-Wave, ZigBee, or the upcoming HomeKit. The modules allow the electronic lock to function with Amazon Alexa when used with the Samsung SmartThings Hub and app or the Wink Hub and app.

Philips launches its first smart lock with Wi-Fi that can be controlled from anywhere

The Philips Smart Deadbolt with Built-In Wi-Fi being installed on a door.

Philips has officially launched its first smart deadbolt with built-in Wi-Fi (aptly named the Philips Smart Deadbolt with Built-In Wi-Fi), giving users the ability to control their front door regardless of location. There's no need for a secondary bridge or other devices, as the lock itself connects directly to the Philips Home Access App via Wi-Fi, making setup a quick and easy process.

Further streamlining the setup process is the retrofit design of the smart lock. It should easily fit over most existing hardware, so you won't have to change out any deadbolts or worry about passing out new keys. That means the outside portion of your front door will largely look unchanged, though you'll still benefit from "smarts" such as voice command integration, auto-unlock function, door position sensing, and remote access via the mobile app.

Yale Keypad Touch lets you control the front door with your fingerprints

Yale released the Approach retrofit smart lock last month -- the first-ever retrofit lock from the popular company. This month it's following up with the Yale Keypad Touch, a wireless accessory that lets you control the Yale Approach with nothing more than your fingerprints.

Because the Yale Approach smart lock doesn't include a keypad, most shoppers will want to add one to their purchase. Without a keypad, you'll be left controlling it with your smartphone. Yale previously let you bundle in the Yale Keypad with the Approach, turning it into something more akin to a traditional smart lock.

Should you buy a new smart lock or retrofit your existing deadbolt?

When it comes to smart locks, all models essentially fall into two categories. The first category will be familiar to most people, as these are traditional smart locks built to replace your existing deadbolt. That means you'll get a whole new set of keys for your front door, as well as hardware that introduces smart features to your home.

The second kind of smart lock is a retrofit smart lock. These quirky devices are designed to fit over your existing hardware -- allowing you to keep using your old keys while also adding smart features. Both types of smart locks are great ways to upgrade your front door, but which is best for your home? Here's a closer look to help you decide if you should replace your traditional deadbolt with a smart lock or install a retrofit smart lock instead.
