Why Using Yale Locks
Yale is one of the oldest and most respected names in the lock industry. With over 180 years of innovation, Yale locks are known for blending traditional security with cutting-edge technology — from keyed deadbolts to app-controlled smart locks.
Advantages:
- Trusted brand with global recognition and strong product support
- Excellent smart lock options with sleek, modern designs
- Durable mechanical hardware for doors, gates, and access control
- Works well with existing residential and commercial door preps
Disadvantages:
- Some models may require professional installation to avoid misalignment
- Smart lock options may be more expensive than traditional models
From high-end homes to small businesses, Yale locks are a secure and stylish solution for anyone looking to upgrade their security in Austin.
Yale Lock Rekey
Yale locks can be rekeyed to match a new key without replacing the entire lock. This is ideal after moving into a new space, employee turnover, or if your keys have been lost or stolen. Our locksmiths carry pin kits compatible with most Yale deadbolts and keyed levers.
Some Yale locks, especially smart models with modular cores, require more precise tools and rekeying techniques. We handle both standard and high-security Yale locks on-site.
Estimated cost: $25–$45 per lock. This may vary based on lock condition, smart module compatibility, or special keyway types.
Smart Locks
Yale is a market leader in smart locks with models designed for renters, homeowners, and businesses alike. These locks offer keyless entry, guest code generation, integration with smart home platforms, and real-time activity logs.
Standard Smart Locks: Fully electronic units like the Yale Assure Lock, available with keypads, touchscreens, or biometric access. Many models support Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, or Bluetooth.
Retrofit Smart Locks: Designed to upgrade the interior side of an existing deadbolt with smart components, preserving your exterior hardware — ideal for aesthetic or lease requirements.
Our team will help determine the best Yale smart lock solution for your property and provide expert installation, including calibration and pairing with your home automation system.
Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith
While Yale locks are popular for their user-friendly design, smart and mortise models can be tricky to install or rekey without damaging the door or compromising security. Here's what to consider:
DIY Pros: Cost savings and flexibility, especially for basic deadbolt models.
DIY Cons: Higher risk of misalignment, electronic malfunction, or voided warranty. May require specialty tools or firmware updates for smart locks.
Professional Pros: Warranty-backed installation, proper calibration, access to specialized tools, and diagnostics for electronic locks.
Professional Cons: Slightly higher upfront cost — but fewer future headaches.
