Yale Assure Lock 2 Keyless Entry Smart Deadbolt with Wi-Fi - Black Suede Electronic Door Lock with Keypad, Code Entry, Remote Access & Backup Key - Secure Smart Home Deadbolt, YRD410-WF1-BSP

These locks are a game changer. I almost never carry keys with me and I don't ever fear locking myself out of the house. You can put a number of codes for different people in it. Which is great if you have service people (dog walkers, house cleaners, etc) regularly coming to your house. The lock can join wifi so you can remotely administer it. The manufacturer says that can impact battery life (more frequent battery changes). That might be true, but even on wifi, batteries last about 5 months for us. Remote management came in HUGE for us when we were away on vacation and a dog sitter hired through Rover failed to show up. When she finally did she didn't even walk our dog and (I'm not lying) stole food out of our freezer and fridge. We were able to delete her code so she couldn't get back in the house and luckily found a neighbor to take in our dog while we were gone. Thanks to the logging this lock does and a security camera we have installed we were able to piece together her neglect. This lock is fairly easy to install if you have any sort of mechanical aptitude. If you can't turn a screw driver you'll probably find it complicated. The instructions are good and are fairly easy to follow. One complaint I do have: when we added a second lock there wasn't a way to apply codes already assigned to a person on the first lock to the second. In fact, you didn't even see the second lock under that person's profile. The work around was to delete their profile/account and then re-add. Once I added them back both locks appeared. This likely isn't a huge issue for most people, but if you have a bunch of people already keyed in with codes/accounts for the first lock you installed, needing to delete them to simply add them back in so their code/account can see the second lock is annoying. You can have different codes and limitations on entry (restricted to only certain days or times) for the same person on different locks. That's nice if you want your dog walker to be able to enter your front door, but not your separate in-law suite for example. Being able to restrict entry to only certain days/times is a really nice feature too. So, you can only allow someone in between 10am and 2pm M-F (not weekends) if you wanted. All in all I love this lock and gladly give is 5 stars. Hopefully they fix the account issue with a second lock down the road via an app update. If not, the workaround isn't too onerous.

*****Updated Review May 2024**** Device errors and overheats I bought this lock in Nov 2022 (so roughly 1.5 years now) and would highly discourage anyone buying this lock as it is dangerous and overheats. The battery issue has always been terrible on this product. It last maybe 1 months tops before needing replacement, so I'm constantly burning through batteries. A couple months ago, the lock was low on battery, so husband replaced it and then less then a week later the lock was again low on batteries. I thought perhaps my husband mixed up the double A batteries and put the low batteries back in by mistake and just let it be assuming it was a mistake. Just last week, the lock started giving error sounds that it wasn't locked even though the door was locked and then indicated it was low battery, so I changed it. Again, less than a week later it was low battery and continued having errors. When I went to open the compartment to replace the battery, I could smell smoke, and when I removed the front 2 batteries, I could see that the top coil touching the battery was so hot it was glowing red. I immediately removed the rest of the batteries from the hot coil/device and burnt my finger with a small shock in the process. When I contacted Yale, they did a simple apology, didn't care at all that I burnt my finger, that the device overheats or care to fix/understand why it was having potentially dangerous issues, but that the device is over a year old and since it was, out of warranty, and the most the can do is offer 20% discount on the next product. Such a terrible response. I will not be buying another product from them, especially if it puts me or my household in a potentially dangerous situation. ********" When this works, it's wonderful but due to the terrible battery life and finicky app I wouldn't recommend it. Set up: not as straight forward and took a lot of trial and error. The app set up also wasn't included and I had to call for them to tell me how to set it up since this was too new at the time. Battery: this thing just chews through batteries. I'll need new batteries every month and there's no way to see battery life. You get a warning sound when its almost dead and then within a day it'll stop working and you won't be able to lock your door from the outside unless you manually do it. Also, Everytime I put new batteries in it resets my connection to the app.... App: laggy. I get booted everytime I put new batteries in.

I love these locks. They are exactly what I wanted and more. I've only had them installed for a couple of weeks but they are working well. I like that they are Wifi enabled and don't depend on some other connectivity in the middle. I took my time to install these and I recommend you do the same. If the lock pocket is not clear so the mechanism can move properly the battery will likely wear out quickly. I spent a good 30 min manipulating my door frame with a chisel and a dremel tool to get it perfect. So far since I did that I've had zero issues with the lock working as expected. The actual install instructions are very well done. I like the included thickness guides. Just follow it step by step and it should go well. Initially you connect to the lock with your phone via bluetooth. This works fine and the lock can work this way indefinitely. The magic comes when you add the extra module. It includes Wifi and the best part is the magnetic sensor. The lock walks you through calibrating the sensor and once done it can tell you the status. It's open/closed, locked/unlocked. In addition to this I like the look and feel. I really hate the membrane type button locks on the market. I wanted a button I can see and feel and these have that. These are flat round buttons that light up so you can see them in the dark. The overall look is modern and clean. I do have two small functional complaints. First, I don't like that I have to hit a check mark button after I put in the code to activate the action. I would prefer if it activated as soon as the last digit of the valid code was entered. Second, while it looks nice the logo button activating the lock function is not clear. Put the logo above it and put a lock icon on it so it's clear. Minor complaints though. I really like the locks overall and unless I run into some unseen issue I will continue to buy these for my needs.

Like this one so much better than my previous one. I bought it when the screen to my last one got scratched and cracked from the yard people weed whacking and blowing stuff that hit it. This was one looks better and has held up better. Batteries do seem to run down a little faster but works well.

Used this lock for a year. It has a clean, sleek, compact design and uses physical buttons instead of inferior touch screens, which miss your clicks and give you no positive feedback. If physical design and function were the only metric, this would be the best smart lock out there and would beat the Schlage Encode Plus hands down in. However, it has software bugs and uses Bluetooth to connect vs wifi or ideally matter/ thread. If the company ever releases their promised matter module, the lock would be one of the best HomeKit locks if you don’t require Home Key. I’d give up the lack of home key support for the superior physical design and buttons. I automate my lock in HomeKit auto lock and unlock when anyone leaves or arrives home, so I don’t need home key. The lock integrates with HomeKit and works well IF, you have an Apple home hub (newer Apple TV or HomePod mini AND your home hub is within short Bluetooth range of the lock. This connects to HomeKit over Bluetooth and not WiFi, like it should. It uses Bluetooth for low every I’m assuming, but Bluetooth is short range and a slow communication protocol. I found that on one or two occasions the lock state was not accurately reflected in HomeKit. This is where the lock fails. If it can’t reliably detect its state, you can’t trust its securely protecting your home unless you physically look at it… and at that point, it’s a dumb lock. Physical Installation is on point and Super easy. Very good design. Software setup is buggy. It works, but you have to wrestle with it. Setting up pins for users is buggy, but again works once you wrestle with it. Setup with HomeKit works, but again is buggy and you have to wrestle with it. Had to factory reset mine twice to get it to work properly. Once setup it’s works fine, as long as your in close Bluetooth range.

Have had this for about a year - flawless operation, easy to install and connect to WiFi. App shows battery life, which is a plus.

I had the keyless version (which I loved) but had a user who needed a physical key, so bought the key version. It took me about 10 minutes to do the physical swap. I broke a nail trying to insert the plug — it’s at a terrible angle. The battery compartment is the single worse I’ve encountered - I felt I was going to break the battery cover prying it up, and it’s a weird configuration to save vertical space, but requires inserting them two deep — I hope the batteries last a long time! There are components including a “smart module” and “doorsense” that has two options of installation - neither are explained (I later learned the smart module is how the lock can connect to Wi-Fi and doorsense can determine if the door is open or closed). Setting up the Yale app was a breeze, but that’s when it all went south. I struggled connecting to any other app. My other Yale - which seemed the exact same just keyless - seamlessly connected to Alexa and Google Nest - Alexa won’t let me enable the skill because it can’t log into the Yale app (I reset my email and password, and still nothing). Google won’t let me install without using Nest, and the lock isn’t compatible with Nest. It says it’s compatible with HomeKit, but Apple killed HoneKit and I couldn’t connect. There’s just no way connecting a lock to any of these should be hard. Waited for 10 minutes on Support which said they had a one minute hold time - I give up. If you need a keyed lock or are okay using only the Yale app for remote entry, this is fine. If you want to integrate with your smart home get a different lock altogether — the keyless version works.

We have every iteration of August locks. We have a unique back door that’s mostly glass and so tightening the older-style August locks wasn’t possible and the lock would become loose over time. This Yale lock, despite having overly complex instructions, was easy to install once you ditch the videos and use common sense. They have improved the design by making the actual bolt (the part that sticks into the door jam) thinner so alignment doesn’t need to be as perfect. The “calibration” was a little screwy and timed out but in the end it works just fine. We like that the keypad is built in vs being a separate item that also required batteries.

La chapa no sirve para ser utilizada en México, hable directamente a Yale y me confirman que ellos no venden por obvias razones este producto en México, que lo tendríamos que ver directamente con Amazon, no se por que se permite comercializar en esta plataforma estos productos en Mexico. Lamentableme compre dos chapas para un par de departamentos que estaban en remodelacion para Airbnb, una vez que se termino la remodelacion, se instalo el Internet y se quisieron configurar las chapas descubrimos que nos vendieron productos inservibles, por el tiempo transcurrido ya no tenemos la opción de devolverlas

This does not work in the UAE. Non existent support either. And seller unhelpful to return.

I purchased this Yale Assure 2 from Amazon UAE, expecting full smart-lock functionality. While the lock hardware powers on and the keypad works, the smart features are unusable. This model requires the Yale Access app, which is not supported in this region. The app fails during setup with errors such as “unable to find manufacturing info” and rejects the serial number, making it impossible to activate the lock or use any smart features. In practice, this product only works properly in the USA and Canada, where Yale Access is officially supported. Selling it in the UAE without clear warnings is misleading. Without the app, this becomes an overpriced keypad lock, not a smart lock. This product should not be sold in the UAE unless regional app support is available or this limitation is clearly disclosed to buyers.
