Yale Doorman Smart Lock

Yale Doorman is a leading smart security solution specifically designed for the Nordic market, offering keyless entry and home automation integration. The Yale brand itself is one of the oldest international brands in the world, tracing its roots back to colonial Connecticut in the United States where Linus Yale Jr. invented the pin-tumbler lock in the mid-19th century.

Today, the brand is owned by the Swedish conglomerate Assa Abloy, which was formed in 1994 through the merger of ASSA in Sweden and Abloy in Finland. While the engineering and design concepts for the Doorman series often originate from Assa Abloy's Scandinavian research and development hubs, the physical manufacturing of the hardware is primarily conducted in specialized facilities in China to leverage global supply chain efficiencies.

Under Assa Abloy's management, Yale has transitioned from a traditional mechanical lock company to a powerhouse in the digital 'Smart Home' ecosystem, maintaining its position as a household name for security worldwide.
