ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch Deadbolt — Grade 2 Multifamily / Senior Living Deadbolt for Chicago Properties

ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch Deadbolt

The ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch Deadbolt is the deadbolt-form-factor member of ASSA ABLOY’s Accentra nexTouch family (formerly Yale nexTouch — Yale Commercial rebranded to ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA in June 2023). It is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified and engineered specifically for multifamily and senior living unit doors — the manufacturer’s own product page positions it as working “exclusively with the ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA Digital solution for multi-family properties and senior living facilities.”

Hero Photos — Two Finish Options Shown

The nexTouch Deadbolt is available in multiple finishes. Both the silver finish (default hero photo) and the matte black finish (gallery photo below) are shown:

What’s Confirmed by the Official Accentra Spec

These specifications come directly from the manufacturer’s published product page:

• ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification
• Backlit touchscreen keypad for unlocking and locking the door
• Unique entry codes can be created and removed for friends, family, and short-term users
• Battery backup features plus manual key override
• Standard 2-3/4 in. backset with 2-3/8 in. latch bolt replacement available
• Weather-resistant for exterior unit-door exposure
• Works exclusively with ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA Digital for multifamily and senior living deployments

Why the Multifamily / Senior Living Targeting Matters

Unlike the Sectional Mortise and Cylindrical NTB613 variants (which are general commercial Grade 1 standalone locks), the nexTouch Deadbolt is engineered around the ACCENTRA Digital cloud workflow — issuing time-limited resident codes, tracking entry events, integrating with property management software, and rotating credentials when residents move in or out. This makes it the right fit for:

• Apartment and condo unit doors managed through a property management dashboard
• Senior living and assisted-living resident rooms with caregiver schedules and visit logs
• Student housing with semester-based access rotation
• Short-term rental and co-living properties with check-in / check-out automation

For commercial back-of-house single-door applications without cloud-admin needs, the Cylindrical NTB613 is usually the better choice — Grade 1, standalone PIN admin, no cloud dependency.

Where It Sits in the Accentra nexTouch Family

• Sectional Mortise Keypad Lock — for mortise-prep openings
• Cylindrical Keypad Lock (NTB613) — Grade 1, the most common commercial form
• Deadbolt (this page) — Grade 2, multifamily / senior living focus
• Interconnected Lock — Grade 2, deadbolt + passage lever for panic-proof egress
• Keypad Exit Trim — Grade 1 (A156.13 Series 1000), retrofits onto existing exit devices

Where the Accentra nexTouch Deadbolt Wins in Chicago

• Multifamily residential unit doors — apartments, condos, mixed-use towers across the city
• Senior living and assisted-living facility resident-room doors
• Chicago HOA condo unit doors
• Student housing unit doors
• Co-living and short-term rental building unit doors
• Multifamily property amenity-area deadbolt-prep openings
• Property management portfolio standardized deadbolt deployments

Note on Brand Naming

ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA is the current brand name for the product line previously sold as Yale Commercial / Yale nexTouch. Yale Commercial rebranded to ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA on June 20, 2023. Product references in legacy specs, drawings, and existing-property nameplates may still use the Yale nexTouch name — this is the same product line.
