The cold of winter is finally about to set in. You'll probably be spending a lot more time indoors when the holidays arrive, and that means you'll want to feel safe in your space. A smart lock is a great way to achieve that. With Black Friday on the way, would it be possible to see a new record-low price on one of the best and most simple to install smart locks out there?

Why we love the Yale Smart Lock 2

There are plenty of reasons to love the Yale Smart Lock 2, but most of them stem from its convenience and ease of use. From unboxing to installation, it only takes minutes to get up and running. It offers 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, keypad, and auto-unlocking via app, so you can do what you're most comfortable with. If you forget your key, as long as you've got your phone, you're good to go.

That means you don't have to hire a locksmith to get you into your home or spend on having new keys made. And if you forget to check if you locked the door before you leave your house, a quick glance at the app will tell you its status. You can send a push for it to lock on its own, or have the peace of mind that it's locked securely. Plus, you can even set it to auto-unlock as you approach with your phone.

One thing that makes it perfect for renters, however, is how temporary it can be if you want it. There's nothing permanent to install and no one can see that you're using it from the outside. So if your rental agreement prevents any modification to your lock or outside of your unit or apartment, it's invisible to the eye but works just as well as if you'd installed a new lock.

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

While any price drop for this smart lock would be great, seeing it head under its sale price of $120, its current lowest price ever, would be a win for Black Friday. It's seen several price drops over the past year, but usually doesn't drop past the mid $160s or $170s, with its lowest price happening on Nov. 21, 2023 and not returning for some time.

It has a list price of $259.99, with a current discount of 8%, so seeing a significant price drop for Black Friday, when we'll likely also see serious savings on smart home equipment, would be a fantastic score for the biggest sale event of the year. We'll be keeping our eyes and ears (but not our doors) open.
