Yale Launches nexTouch™ Wireless Access Control For Small Business

NEW HAVEN, Conn., August 1, 2016 – Yale Locks & Hardware today announced the availability of a next-generation security solution that offers flexible, scalable lock management tailored specifically for the needs of small businesses.

Yale nexTouch™ provides small business owners a wireless access management solution with the security of commercial grade locks and the convenience and cost-efficiency of wireless installation. The nexTouch product is a keypad access lock designed to meet most small business applications, both interior and exterior. The lock can be paired with a ZigBee or Z-Wave system for easy integration into new and existing alarm and automation platforms, such as those from Alarm.com, Control4, Honeywell and iControl.

“Yale nexTouch fills a gap in the small business space – a system for managing access that provides security and control, but at a cost that reflects the budget realities of a small business, such as a franchise, retail location or medical practice,” said Jason Williams, general manager, Yale Residential. “Our nexTouch lock integrates seamlessly with existing alarm systems and automation platforms so integrators can provide access management without running wires.

”Yale nexTouch offers many benefits for the small business owner, including easy management of employee access rights and attendance, seeing to unattended deliveries, monitoring of business hours, managing remote locations, and increased security. Lock features may vary based on the chosen integration system, but typically include accommodation of up to 500 users, real-time notifications, audit trail, scheduling of access rights and remote access.

To meet small business security needs Yale nexTouch locks are ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified, UL listed for use on fire doors and windstorm listed. The product is designed for standard commercial doors, ideal for employee, delivery or back entrances. The lock is available with a backlit push button or touchscreen keypad, the latter offering low battery and tamper alarm indicators on the device.

Yale nexTouch is available at all SES branches.
