Best Black Friday deal: We hope to see the Yale Smart Lock 2 for under $120

The cold of winter is finally about to set in. You’ll likely be spending a lot more time indoors when the holidays roll around, and that means you’ll want to feel safe in your space. A smart lock is a great way to achieve this. With Black Friday approaching, could it be possible to see a new record price on one of the best and easiest to install smart locks?

Why we like the Yale Smart Lock 2

There are many reasons to love the Yale Smart Lock 2, but most of them come from its convenience and ease of use. From unboxing to installation, getting started takes just a few minutes. It provides keyless access to your home, but it also allows you to use the same key you already use to unlock your door. It adds options to use a voice assistant, keyboard, and auto unlock via app, so you can do what you’re most comfortable with. If you forget your key, as long as you have your phone you are good to go.

This means you don’t need to hire a locksmith to enter your home or spend money on having new keys made. And if you forget to check if you’ve locked the door before leaving your house, a quick glance at the app will tell you its status. You can send a push so it locks on its own or have peace of mind knowing it’s locked securely. Plus, you can even set it to automatically unlock when you approach your phone.

However, one thing that makes it perfect for renters is how temporary it can be if you want it to be. There’s nothing permanent to install and no one can see you’re using it from the outside. So, if your rental contract prevents any modification to your lock or to the exterior of your accommodation or apartment, it is invisible to the naked eye but works as well as if you had installed a new lock.

Black Friday deal we hope to see on the Yale Smart Lock 2

While any price drop on this smart lock would be great, seeing it fall below its $120 sale price, its current lowest price, would be a Black Friday win. The price has seen several drops over the past year, but generally does not exceed $160 or $170, with its lowest price being reached on November 21, 2023 and not returning for some time.

Its list price is $259.99, with a current 8% discount, so seeing a significant price drop for Black Friday, where we’ll likely also see some serious savings on smart home gear, would be a fantastic score for the biggest sales event of the year. We will keep our eyes and ears (but not our doors) open.
