Yale Doorman L3 is a lock that has gained popularity and received a lot of positive feedback from users. It is a product well worth considering for those looking for a reliable solution to secure their home.

However, it is important to note that the installation of this lock can be somewhat demanding and not as simple as replacing a regular lock switch. For some users, it may be necessary to hire a professional installer, and this may incur additional costs that need to be considered.

An advantage of the Yale Doorman L3 is that the locking piston rotates upwards, providing an extra level of safety. This makes it harder for unauthorized people to tamper with the lock and gain access to your home.

It is also important to note that this lock only works with Yale's own key washers. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this. On the one hand, Yale's badges are known to be harder to copy than other RFID tags, increasing security. On the other hand, the cost of Yale tiles can be higher than average, with each tile costing over $200. However, there are three washers included when you purchase the lock, giving you a good start.

In summary (without using the word “In conclusion”), Yale Doorman L3 is a reliable and safety-conscious product that has gained popularity among users. It is important to be aware of the installation challenges and costs of key washers, but for those who value safety and reliability, this lock is definitely worth considering to increase the security of their home.
