At ISC West, Yale and Master Lock announced their newest lines of smart locks for businesses and multifamily facilities.

Part of Fortune Brands Innovations, the companies note that they are expanding their professional portfolios to offer a new level of security and convenience for multifamily properties, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, small and medium businesses and more.

“By launching these new product lines under Yale and Master Lock, we are poised to serve a greater
share of the professional market,” said Dave Barry, President of Security & Connected Products at
Fortune Brands.

“Yale is continuing its legacy of providing flexible solutions for multifamily environments, simplifying access decisions for our partners and operators.

“Master Lock is delivering solutions to secure access for essential places like schools, healthcare facilities, small and medium businesses, and more.”

Multifamily solutions

According to the companies, Yale’s new multifamily product line will serve partners and operators with innovative, flexible and scalable access control solutions.

Designed to enhance security at every entrance, the Yale Pro 2 Interconnected Lock, Yale Pro 2 Mortise Lock and Yale Pro 2 Cylindrical Lock include key features such as:

• Flexible connectivity: Multifamily properties can choose between:
  • Z-Wave (800 series) module offering long range support and SmartStart
  • Zigbee module offering app compatibility with top smart home partners
  • Wi-Fi module offering remote access and easy app management
• Single action egress: Multifamily apartment doors can be unlocked in one motion, all with top ANSI/BHMA grading and 90 to 190-minute fire ratings (fire ratings vary by model)
• Tamper-proof: Each product is available as a key-free model to provide convenient, keyless access for residence doors – so they can’t be picked, there are no keys to lose and installers save money by no longer having to address tenant lockouts or rekey apartments after residents move out

Master Lock is also unveiling a new line of locks designed for commercial applications.

The Master Lock Electronic and Connected Mortise Locks and the Master Lock Electronic and Connected Cylindrical Locks offer more advanced access management and tracking, providing commercial owners the confidence that their properties are protected, the companies report.

Key features include:

• Flexible connectivity: Installers can choose the right technology for their customers, including:
  • Z-Wave (800 series) module offering long range support and SmartStart
  • Zigbee module offering app compatibility with top smart home partners
  • Non-connected (no module) offering keypad access only
• Convenient, key-free access: Control access to common areas, exterior doors, residence doors and stairwells to enhance facility security with access control at every opening
• Options for every door: Product options are available for standard cylindrical or mortise door prep, and offer top ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and a 180-minute fire rating

These products will be available for customers to order later this year.
