Back-to-school made simple with Yale

The back-to-school season is incredibly stressful. No matter how prepared you are to usher in a new school year, settling back into a routine can be a tough task for any family.

At Yale, we want to make the transition back to the school as seamless and safe as possible for you and the entire family. Our Yale Smart Security Ecosystem of products is designed to blend seamlessly into any household, helping your family to master the return to learning!

Quickly settle into the daily school routine

The first step to making the back-to-school season simple is to reduce morning stress by creating a set daily routine. When it comes to ease and convenience no device will make a house run more smoothly than a smart lock.

Do you often find yourself with so little time to spare in the mornings that you find yourself stressing during the day about whether you remembered to lock the front door properly or not? Well, our Linus^® Smart Lock is the perfect device to ease these worries. Linus^® will lock any door automatically once it is closed. And with the Yale Home app, you can easily check the lock status of your door from anywhere to double-check the security of your home.

If you’re a working parent who uses babysitting or childcare services, Linus^® will allow you to share digital keys and codes with your trusted childcare providers. To help you to avoid the stress of cutting new sets of keys, and provide more secure access to your home.

A Yale Smart Keypad can also be added to grant easier home access to children using a code set by you, without needing to worry about your kids keeping track of any keys or if they don’t own a smartphone. Need to keep track of when your children arrive home from school with their babysitters? With Linus^® you can quickly check the lock history to know the exact times your door was opened, so you can always be certain of the exact time your kids returned home.

Simplify the school run

Do you find that your weekday mornings can get a little hectic? In the majority of family kitchens on a school day, the whole family can be seen running around frantically trying to get everybody fed and ready to leave. Simplify your school run with the help of a Smart Gate and Garage Opener.

Easy to install, the Yale Smart Gate and Garage Opener is compact and designed to provide you with seamless access to gates and garages from your smartphone using the Yale Home app. The product also allows you to open gates and garage doors as you approach or to close them when you leave using the app, without needing to keep track of a remote.

And if your children are too young for smartphones, a smart keypad can be added to any gate to grant school-aged children and their babysitter access to the property using a code set by you.

Ensure kids are always safe at home

Getting the kids settled back into a school mindset certain in the weeks leading up to the new semester can take over your list of priorities as a parent. It's extremely easy for areas such as childproofing to fall to the side. Our Yale Smart Cabinet Lock is the device for any busy family. The discrete, ultra-compact lock can easily mount inside most cabinets and drawers to be completely hidden from view and is the easiest way for parents to childproof their homes.

With the Smart Cabinet Lock, you can use the intuitive Yale Home app to check any drawer and cabinet access history, with notifications sent directly to your phone, so you can see exactly when they have been opened. The lock is designed to grant you peace of mind knowing any dangerous items like medicine or cleaning products, or electronics in home offices are always secure and kept away from kids. To ensure that small hands can’t get where they shouldn’t and allow you to focus on what's important, helping to ensure your kids are ready every morning and never worrying about their safety.

Is your child returning to shared accommodations, such as boarding schools or university dorms? Help them to better protect their belongings with the help of the Yale Cabinet Smart Lock! The Smart Cabinet Lock can keep anything from toiletries, personal items, and even specific foods hidden away in shared or private areas. To help keep personal possessions out of view for anyone else your child may be living with, and provide them with enhanced privacy and convenience when it comes to their storage.

As part of the Yale Smart Security Ecosystem, you can grant permanent or temporary access remotely using one single code for Linus^®, your Smart opener, and your Smart Cabinet Lock using the Yale Home app. This will remove the need for you to remember dozens of codes and provide you with swift, secure access to all aspects of your smart home. While also providing you with the convenience of being able to revoke access to all devices at once should access for certain people no longer be required.

The return to school doesn't have to be stressful! The Yale Smart Ecosystem is designed to make life easier for the whole family, so why not invest today and see the difference it can bring to the morning school routine when September finally rolls around?

Secure your child's expensive school supplies and bike

Back-to-school is the perfect time to encourage your kids to be more active, and what better way to get them into good habits than getting them to bike to school? These bikes should be secure enough once they are on school grounds, but kids can gain an added layer of protection by securing their bikes using Yale Bike Locks. Giving you as a parent full peace of mind, knowing that your kids’ bikes are safe.

The supplies and equipment that need to be bought for your child during the school year can be expensive, but with the Yale range of standard, high, and maximum security padlocks featuring varying levels of security rankings, your child’s belongings will be kept safe in their locker as they go about their school day.

We are here to make the Back-to-school season go as seamlessly as possible. You can rest easy knowing that the people and things you love the most will be safe and secure at all times with the help of Yale.
