Assure Lock 2 Deadbolt, Satin Nickel Keyed Smart Entry Door Lock with Wi-Fi Connected Keypad for Code Entry and Remote Access, YRD410-WF1-619

I’ve been using this smart lock set now for 2 to 3 months. I’m very happy with it. The instructions were clear on how to install and pair with Wi-Fi. Such an improvement over my previous smart lock. quality is excellent. It’s so much easier to enter my home either via the keypad or my iPhone app. I’m very happy with my purchase.

*****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.

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.

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.

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.

Bought 2 of these so far for short-term rentals. The main reason for purchasing these to replace other Wi-Fi locks is they integrate with Airbnb's and Hospitable's platforms and each guest gets their own code that is valid only during their stay. They are very easy to install. The first one I had no issues with install or set up and it's worked flawlessly. The 2nd one I had difficulty getting it to connect to the Wi-Fi because it is a mesh system. Followed the instructions and disconnected the secondary mesh router unit so only the main was used. It connected then I plugged the secondary mesh unit back in. Within a day, it lost connection. Contacted tech support and they said the lock will only work on a 2.4GHz network. The router broadcasts both over the same Wi-Fi so they advised I would need to separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz because it can switch between the 2. I asked how it could switch if it could only work on a 2.4GHz network and they couldn't answer that question and said if I continue to have this issue I may need to get a separate Yale hub. I checked my other lock on another property that uses the same type of router and noticed it was on the 5GHz network and I never had an issue with that lock... To get it to connect again, I had to wipe out the Wi-Fi connection again and start over and went thru the same process by disconnecting the secondary mesh router unit. It connected and I confirmed it was on the 2.4GHz network and it worked without issue. A few days later I checked on it and noticed it had switched to the 5GHz network but was still working without any issue. As I write this review, I checked it again and it's back on the 2.4GHz network. The first one I bought at another property continues to be connected to the 5GHz network on that Wi-Fi network. I set the app to give me notices whenever any of the Yale locks disconnect from the network and I do get notices the one that's operating on the 5GHz network was reconnected from time to time but it's never disconnected long enough for me to notice how long. Aside from the technical issue with the 2nd Yale Assure 2 lock, I really like these locks and how they integrate with STR platforms. They are very easy to use for guests. Have 4 other brands on other properties and the Yale Assure 2 is by far the easiest and most straightforward to open and lock. The touchpad locks can be confusing and cause issues for some guests and several have had to call me because the code was entered incorrectly too many times and it locked them out. Battery life - I was concerned about battery life from the reviews. The first lock I installed lithium batteries. 3 months later, the app shows they are still at 100% power. The 2nd lock was installed a month ago but also shows 100% battery life. Spend a few extra $$ and get lithium batteries for these locks. Appearance - these locks look great and are well built. Time will tell how they fare but I'm confident they will do well. Back up key - I opted for the locks with a backup key. If power is lost and there's an issue with the electronics, there is always a key in a lockbox guests can use and still get into the house. Door Sensor - I installed the door sensor in the door frame by drilling a hole. Despite being very careful to have a straight hole, there was still some play in the sensor and needed to put some tape around the sensor so it would stay secure in the hole. This feature is not all that important for our rental properties but is a nice feature. Yale Access App - the app is basic and functions well. I use it to unlock the door when I visit the properties and it works well. It's easy to change door codes from the app and being able to see the history of when the lock was locked and unlocked is sometimes helpful. With the door sensor installed, also logs ever time the door is opened and closed. I have now purchased 3 of these locks and got them all at a great price (like-new returns). The quality, ease of use, integration with Airbnb and Hospitable platforms, and the control and monitoring from the Yale Access app make these a great value. I am happy with them and recommend this lock.

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 bought the keyed version with wi-fi. The main reason it gets two stars is that the battery life is abysmal. Before I talk about that I’ll mention other things. The lock looks great and is a good size for a smart lock. The buttons have a good feel when you press them. Locking and unlocking with a key is easy too. I also like that the lock has a silicone backer so there won’t be any damage to your door and it stays snug in place. Installation was pretty straightforward and went fairly quickly. The only real issue I ran into was setting up the WiFi. It will not work at all unless it is a dedicated 2.4 channel. Even a smart router that can run a dual 2.4/5 will not work. You will want to check first before buying. I didn’t and luckily our guest wi-fi was 2.4 by default so it worked out. The app is pretty simple. By default you aren’t notified when the door is locked or unlocked. You need to set up your own smart notifications. Good for some people who want to know more details behind who used your door or how it was locked or unlocked. If my review stopped here I would give it 4 stars. Now, batteries. We had a Kwikset halo before, and when I put the same rechargeable batteries that I had been using, I got a “critically low, replace batteries immediately” notification after 4-5 days when they would last months in the halo. I saw some fine print that said “alkaline batteries only”, so I said fine and put the supplied batteries in. Sadly, i got the “critically low” notification the day after my return window closed, or it would have gone back. The most recent set of batteries were installed on 11/22 and I got a notification on 12/8 that they were low again. Since we have the keyed version I decided to just ignore the notification every day and was able to push it until 12/17, but still fell short of a month of life. So I’ll be feeding the lock more than an entire Costco pack of AA batteries every year. So wasteful. ***UPDATE*** 12/21 - Received a notification today that our batteries were low. App says 27%, so I guess when it gets cold we only get a week or two out of the 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.
