Overall, though, the company has done an excellent job of positioning itself as the (only) tech behemoth that's conscious of humanity's true meaning.

Yale Assure Lock SL review: Never get locked out again
In the span of four months, our family sold a house, made an eight-week international trip, moved across the country, and then bought a house, all with three kids under five in tow. In the process, we stayed in eight different Airbnbs and sampled a variety of smart locks. These locks are becoming commonplace in short-term rentals, due to the convenient ability for hosts to share entry codes remotely with guests instead of having to meet in person or leave a lockbox with a key.
