Yale has dropped a lock that requires no key to open

Lock manufacturer Yale has just launched its newest smart lock, and it promises to say goodbye to keys for good.

Yep, that’s right, the latest smart home innovation is a lock that doesn’t require a key to open it. And while smart locks aren’t new technology, this clever gadget has caught my attention – but I just can’t decide whether it is a good idea or not.

The Yale Linus® Smart Lock L2 Lite (£129.98) can unlock your front door using the power of your smartphone. But as impressive as this sounds, are smart locks worth it? I asked the experts to find out.
