Yale Home

Yale Home is the consumer smart-lock brand carrying the centuries-old Yale name, spanning keypad and touchscreen smart deadbolts (the Assure Lock 2 family) and the August smart-lock and doorbell lineup that joined it after ASSA ABLOY acquired August Home in 2017. Ownership is split by geography: ASSA ABLOY, the world's largest lock maker, owns the Yale brand globally, while the US and Canadian residential Yale and August smart-lock business was sold to Fortune Brands Innovations in a roughly $800 million deal that closed in June 2023. The North American lineup includes the brand's first fingerprint smart lock and its first Apple home key support, and products are sold at ShopYaleHome.com and through retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy. The Assure and August apps continue to be developed together.
