Previously there hasn't been a solution to the problem where homes have a smart lock installed on the main entry door and there is a mechanical lock on the screen door. Now there is a solution to this problem, providing consumers with a complete smart entry experience to the home. This product also enables a market-first feature- DualDoor Technology.
DualDoor™ Technology is an exclusive feature of Yale Unity Entrance Series Locks. The technology makes homelife much easier and works seamlessly with Alexa Smart Home, Hey Google and more.
With a single command, you can lock or unlock the security screen door and the main entrance door simultaneously. It provides a convenient, smart and keyless entry solution to the home, removing the need to search for mechanical keys.

Having smart locks intuitively work together is a game changer. We have a solution which makes life easier for you whilst still providing you peace of mind and protecting your home. ”says Lauren.
It is all controlled by the Yale Access Smart Locks Platform. The Yale Access App allows users to share access with others, such as family members and cleaners. You can unlock and lock your door from wherever you are, so there’s no need for spare keys anymore.
