Yale Locks & Hardware, an ASSA ABLOY Group company, recently announced the availability of a new keyless touch screen deadbolt that offers streamlined installation, enhanced security and a clean, modern appearance compared to competing electronic deadbolts.

The new Yale Real Living™ Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt eliminates the cylinder and as a consequence offers homeowners superior security and dealers simplified installation. For homeowners, the absence of a cylinder means that the lock can’t be picked or bumped. For installers, it means that installation is a much smoother process. All currently available residential electronic deadbolts have a mechanical key override that adds complexity to the installation and burdens the homeowner with additional keys. By eliminating the key override, the new Yale lock appeals not only to security- and convenience-conscious homeowners, but to installers, too, since installation is easier and so faster, especially since no keying is required.
