Overview

A backlit touchscreen keypad with no key cylinder at all drives this Yale deadbolt: touch the logo to wake it, enter a code, and touch the logo again to lock behind you.

Homeowners who want simple code entry without apps or keys get a cylinder-free deadbolt with codes managed on the lock itself. There is no remote access, and if the batteries fail the only backup is the emergency terminals.

Who it's for

Front and back doors in homes with kids, caregivers or housemates suit the on-lock codes. Anyone wanting remote unlocking or activity logs needs a connected lock.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No cylinder to attack
  • No keys to lose
  • No app or account needed
  • Backlit keypad for night use
Cons
  • No remote or phone control
  • No key backup
  • Spec lists Wi-Fi despite no app

Performance notes

Security comes from removing the cylinder entirely, so there is nothing to manipulate, while codes go in on a touchscreen whose numbers do not wear off. Power runs on the included batteries, with terminals under the keypad for a temporary charge if they die.
