Yale Linus, Linus L2, and Assure: Market and Door-System Checks

“Yale smart lock” is too broad to answer a fit question. Linus, Linus L2, and Assure products use different mounting approaches and regional kits. Identify the model code and market first, then check the specific cylinder or door mechanism.

The family name alone does not establish which mechanical path or regional kit applies.

Linus L2: verify the cylinder and kit

Yale’s Linus L2 guidance is market-specific and asks the buyer to match the kit to the cylinder type. Its documentation describes Euro-profile cylinder arrangements with at least 3 mm of required protrusion for the applicable setup, but the correct cylinder and kit still depend on the product and market. Use the current checker for your country and provide the exact cylinder type; do not treat an answer for one kit as approval for another.

The cited Linus L2 setup uses a 3 mm protrusion condition; check Yale’s current regional checker for the exact cylinder.

If the checker does not cover your cylinder, door, or existing security hardware, the result is incomplete. Confirm with Yale before purchase rather than inferring compatibility from the Linus name.

Linus and other regional models

A Linus compatibility statement should be tied to a specific product generation and local instructions. Regional cylinder types, included adapters, and installation practices can differ. Record the model code from the packaging and compare it with the country-specific product page. Do not apply a Linus L2 measurement to an earlier Linus lock unless that model’s own documentation confirms it.

Assure products need an exact record

Assure is a product family, not a universal door specification. For example, Yale’s New Zealand Assure Lever Keyed listing describes a particular single-hole deadlatch configuration, a 60–70 mm backset, and a 35–45 mm door thickness range. Those values belong to that named model and market. They do not establish fit for a North American Assure deadbolt, another Assure lever, or a different regional kit.

Check the exact latch, bore, door thickness, backset, strike, and market against the product’s own installation sheet. Also verify any module or app requirement against local Yale Home documentation; electronics modules and platform support vary by product and region.

Measurement points are illustrative; use the exact model and market instructions. The Assure Lever values above are specific to the named New Zealand listing.

Record the result by model

Keep mechanical fit, required lock operation, and app or module support as separate answers. If you cannot identify the model code or find a matching regional installation guide, record the result as unknown and ask Yale. Continue with the exact-model identification steps before comparing a Yale product with another brand.
