The Yale name goes back to 1840 and the brand now belongs to ASSA ABLOY, which explains the wide catalogue: keypad and touchscreen deadbolts, key-free versions, the Assure Lock 2 family, and the Approach retrofit unit that mounts over an existing deadbolt and keeps your old keys. Connectivity is modular, so the same lock body can run Wi-Fi, Z-Wave or Matter depending on which module is fitted, and a key-free model removes the cylinder entirely for anyone worried about picking.
Sensible for owners who want one brand across several doors and are willing to pay roughly two hundred dollars a lock. Renters are better served by the Approach or by a retrofit brand, since swapping a full deadbolt usually needs the landlord's blessing. Note that the module you need is often sold separately, so compare bundle prices before ordering.
