as the next step in smart lock innovation, the yale linus smart lock l2 offers twice the speed of its predecessor, along with enhanced quietness and durability. working closely with assa abloy’s yale team, bould design helped incorporate these advancements into a sleek, compact form that appeals to even the most discerning homeowners. this effort has been recognized with prestigious accolades, including a gold a' design award and a european product design award, highlighting its excellence in both functionality and design.

the yale smart lock experience is designed for seamless, keyless entry. the l2 automatically unlocks as you approach and secures your home as you step inside or at a preset time. when you leave, it locks automatically, providing peace of mind without a second thought.

convenience and accessibility are central to the smart lock’s design. with just a few taps on your phone, you can grant access to trusted individuals—whether it's friends, family, or service providers. by integrating the yale dot, access becomes even easier, allowing you to unlock your door with a simple tap, eliminating the need to open the app.

this understated, elegant design was created in collaboration with the assa abloy engineering team. together, we developed a compact, functional, and manufacturable solution that is easy to install and designed to perform beautifully for years to come.
