The toughest security for the toughest conditions. From blistering heat and freezing snow to dust and sand that gets everywhere, we know from first-hand experience just how tough mining can be. Combine that with working in some of the most remote locations on the planet, and you need equipment you can count on not to break down. Our security measures can take whatever the environment can throw at them, whether you’re looking at high-tech electromechanical set-ups or heavy-duty padlocks. If it’s worth the investment to mine, it’s worth the investment to keep safe.
I purchased a Yale Unity Digital Lock about a year ago, and it has sorted all my issues with my children misplacinging keys and forgetting to lock the front door. The lock is connected to the Yale Access App on my Android phone so I can set the front door to automatically lock itself one minute after it’s opened. No more second thoughts. From my experience, the best thing about the Yale Access App is all lock activities are recorded. I can easily check on who, when and what time anyone comes in and leaves. I also receive notifications if the door has been left open for too long. Everyone knows the best thing about having a smart lock is that you can remotely unlock the door to allow people you trust to enter. In my case, it caters for my elderly in laws who are not so comfortable with mobile phone technology, so I have issued them with access cards which can be disabled anytime should they lose them. One thing about the Yale Access App is that you need to keep it updated over time, just like your phone system. However, i set it to auto update even if you are not a tech-savvy person and so far, I have had no trouble. Overall, it’s a great smart lock and I have no hesitation in recommending it to all families!
We got two digital assa alloy locks and both turned out to be lemons. In the first case the lock was chewing up battery every 10 days. The replacement lock also chewed up the battery within two months. They say the battery lasts up to one year.but on r return from holidays after 6 weeks we couldn't enter the house as the battery was dead again. Thisl lock was replaced in feb 2025.
I have installed the Yale Unity Smart Locks on my two front doors, the Dual Door functionality is handy in that I only have to unlock one to unlock both. Battery life is good and the ability to integrate with Home Assistant is very convenient. I only wish the Yale app and bluetooth range were a bit better.
My wife in her enthusiastic vacuuming, broke the winder on the window extender. I wrote to the company requesting the broken part. Danial replied that they could only provide them in lots of 50, but as they had one lying around the office, he said that he would post that one to me. A few days later 2 arrived. These items were sent promptly and free of charge. Kudos to Assoy abloy ! Sadly this level of service is not seen so often these days.
Awaiting Protect2 Keys for now almost 8 weeks was informed by their service agent that the last key cut request took 2 months and that there was no foreseen date given by Assa Abloy for the key cut request submitted in. Initially told 5 days was the cut time.
