    We love this thing. The construction is high quality, the buttons are responsive, the fingerprint scanner is accurate, and the proximity and door-closed sensors are working great. The app sometimes takes a second to connect, but it generally works well too. It's an all around great option for those looking to carry less keys around.

    Love this product. Installed on an exterior bathroom door. Guests can go in without traipsing through the house. Finger print works perfectly. App also notifies me who has entered and whether they used their finger print or code. No need for a key. (unless internet goes out) I think it has Bluetooth as well. Be sure to read through the directions first.

    Absolutely love this lock as it has multiple ways to open - fingerprint, numeric code (which can be individualized) as well as an app on the phone. Can open remotely as well. With multiple users, I even get notifications on when the door has been opened and by which authorized user. Would highly recommend this lock!!

    The Yale Assure is a great smart lock for those that are always on the go and are left wondering, "did i lock the front door?" It says it all in the name, "Assure." You can be assured that your lock will always be set even should you forget. Out of the box you get all the hardware necessary to get you started, and yes batteries are actually included. If you already have an existing deadbolt set up then installation is a breeze and can be completed in less than a half a hour. The lock does come with a free downloadable app, and while it may not be necessary it is highly recommend you download the app or else you will miss out on all the features that make this lock shine. Right away i like the smooth flush design of the keypad. The keypad numbers light up when you touch the bio-metric sensor and touch screen face is very responsive when inputting your security password. The lock does work with Alexa, Apple homekit, google home, airbnb and IFTTT. This lock really shines through the app features. Through the app you can set up auto timers which will cause the unit to automatically lock after a set time. For me i have a timer set up for one minute so that after a minute the unit will auto lock itself ensuring that my place of business or residence is always secure. The unit does come with a door sensor which you can choose to mount or not mount which detects door closure. If your door is not seated all the way you can opt in for push notifications which will send you a alert on your phone letting you know that door is not properly seated and the lock can not be set. Through the app you can see the status of the lock as well as lock or unlock the unit all through your phone. The lock does have a LED indicator as well as a audible tone which lets you know what position the lock is in. For example lets say your leaving your house and you press the one touch lock button, if for some reason the lock does not set properly the LED will light up red letting you know there was a problem as well as send you a push notification. The app does track history as to who and when the door lock was accessed and all entries and exits are time stamped and logged. Through the app you can also set up your password and even set up a biometric for your finger prints. I was a little worried about the finger print scanner being accurate as most are not however this finger print recognition is very accurate and i have yet to have one get rejected. You can also set up guess passes with there own password or finger print in the event that you have someone house sitting for you. All in all in this is a awesome lock for families or people living with those of us that forget to lock the door. The reliability and accuracy of this unit is nothing short of amazing. Do yourself a favor and pick one up.

    The best smart deadbolt I have ever used

    |
    Tech Insider Network Member
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am extremely impressed and pleased with this deadbolt. I’ve now tried several different options for smart and connected deadbolts over the years and have over time found myself with a feature wishlist that none of the others I’ve used were able to completely fulfill, until now. I am a massive Apple HomeKit user, ensuring every new smartphone device I acquire is compatible, and that has become my first and foremost criteria for new equipment. Happily, Yale has answered with this new lock. It works seamlessly with HomeKit, as well as through Yale’s own app for setting up the device and creating passcodes, users, fingerprints and more. The app is robust and easy to use which is a must if you are to be required to use it for as much as this one is. Installing this deadbolt is easy for anyone who is at least somewhat mechanically inclined, and it has a full step by step walkthrough both included in paper form and in the app with video clips for added instruction. It starts you out with the paper instructions measuring every dimension on your door for ensuring proper fit and selecting the correct bolts for installation, and then takes every step very thoroughly for getting the lock put together. Once it is setup, you get connected via the app for finalizing your account, adding users, creating passcodes, registering fingerprint access, and integrating with HomeKit. It is also compatible with Google Home and Alexa. Each step is absolutely clear and could not be easier. I appreciate how elegant looking this lock is, and the satin metal finish is a good match for my door hardware. It operates very smoothly and quietly and is quick to respond to inputs both on the keypad and with the app or HomeKit. I get notifications quickly when it is locked or unlocked, and even have visibility on whether or not the door is closed thanks to the included clever magnetic sensor that is installed within the doorframe. That sensor allows an additional function which I am very excited about that will prevent the deadbolt from automatically locking while the door is open. It’s a small detail but I have quite a few marks on my trim from the deadbolts of the past auto locking while closing the door and causing damage. One of the things that caused me to invest in smarter locks to begin with was wanting to ensure that my door was never accidentally left unlocked so my house would remain secure at all times. However, the solution for that is typically a timer that will cause the lock to action within a set time like 2-3 minutes. So, if you’re doing something like bringing in groceries and leave the door open while doing so the lock will eventually close and if you don’t notice it did that you hit your door frame with it. This one uses a timer as well but thanks to that additional open sensor it will wait to work until the door is confirmed closed. It's going to be so nice to no longer have to worry about stuff like that anymore. It has a lot of redundancy as well since you have the direct app, HomeKit, passcode, fingerprint, and a conventional old key for using it, meaning there’s almost no chance you can get yourself locked out of the house. This version of the lock also includes a wifi module for allowing total remote access no matter where you are. It really is the total package, and I can’t think of anything I would like differently about it. It is without a doubt the best deadbolt I’ve ever used, and every step of the way was incredibly easy and has worked flawlessly ever since the initial install. Finally, the best lock on the market has arrived and I can’t recommend it enough.

    Installed the lock and it would not pair with the app. I troubleshooted it with Yale support but they could not solve either so they send a replacement. To my suprise they sent the bluetooth version of the lock when I bought the wifi version. Now I need to wait more to get a working lock and its been 3 weeks since I bought it. Yale locks have the best features but they have very poor execution of delivering a quality prouduct. I wanted to get the Nest lock but it lacks features. Ive had a similar issue with a family members Yale lock that I installed for them it would not connect to their wifi. Good product on paper with features just be patient during setup it may not work.

    Good lock with some app issues

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I also previously owned the Yale Assure Lock 1, which I ended up removing from my door due to chronic issues with the app and the battery life. I'm happy to report that this lock does not have the battery issues the previous iteration had, but some app issues do still exist. The lock is incredibly easy to install, and shouldn't take more than a few minutes if your deadbolt aligns correctly. It's really sleek, and I love the keyhole option, but I much prefer physical buttons over touchscreen buttons. The lock also has very pleasing sounds, and they are easy to see no matter what the lighting situation is outside. The issues I've had so far are all within the app. For starters, my deadbolt hole wasn't as deep as the lock will eject, and it was causing issues with the calibration setting in the app. It's my understanding the calibration step is simply for this function, where it teaches the lock how far to eject the deadbolt. This was not the case. The calibration step repeatedly failed, causing my Assure to not be able to auto-lock, because it was receiving an error. I was able to drill out my deadbolt hole a little deeper and fix the issue. The next issue I had was with enabling the fingerprint function. My lock would not allow me to log a fingerprint into the system. I had to reset the lock two different times, do a firmware update, go through about an hour of troubleshooting, and by some miracle, the lock suddenly allowed me to register a fingerprint. I discovered another issue during this process, in that you can only register 1 fingerprint per user. So, if you want to have multiple fingerprints saved for a person, you need to create multiple users (of the same person) in the app. This can be problematic because it gets really messy if you have a lot of people with fingerprint access. The auto-unlock bluetooth feature is pretty reliable, but not 100%. I also have my fingerprint fail about 20-30% of the time when I use the lock. If I wouldn't have had the app issues then I would be absolutely thrilled with this lock. I've been monitoring my battery life very carefully, and my batteries appear to be functioning as intended. My assure 1 had an issue where it drained a full set of batteries in 3-5 days, but it looks like this has been resolved in the newest version. Overall good lock, and the app has more good than bad in it, but the issues I had were very frustrating and complicated to resolve.

    Dead on Dead Bolt!

    The Yale - Assure Lock 2 Touch Fingerprint with Wi-Fi is actually a nifty tech device for the home. Installation instructions included and also available within the app. Installation is pretty straight forward as with any dead bolt installation. Only difference is there is a wired connection for the front module to the inside module. If you are replacing a current dead bolt, it should not take more than 30 minutes to remove and replace. Setting it up in the app just select setup device and being Wi-Fi, it will detect the Yale - Assure Lock 2 Touch Fingerprint with Wi-Fi. Once connected, you can use the app to lock and unlock the Yale - Assure Lock 2 Touch Fingerprint with Wi-Fi. While installation instructions were excellent via the app and the owners manual, setting up the PIN and sharing within the app were not so clear nor included. I did have to Youtube, to figure how to set up the PIN. And I fumbled my way through sharing it with my wife. It is a really nice looking unit in black and satin and the main advantage is being able to lock and unlock the door remotely! BUT it does come with "ONE" key for old school users. Should come with two keys in my opinion.

    Nice Lock, with Caveats

    I volunteered to review the Yale Assure Lock 2 Smart Lock based on the features it offers. I had a Schlage brand smart lock, but it didn’t offer key access, nor did it offer the fingerprint option. The lock was easy to install. It took longer for me to remember how to remove the Schlage than it took me to install the Yale lock. You download the Yale Access app and follow the step-by-step instructions. The issues I faced, however, were with the calibration of the lock. The deadbolt was seated in the door. The door was secure. However, the app kept giving me errors when calibrating. There are two calibration modes. One is for the Doorsense, one is for the the lock itself. I installed the Doorsense per the instructions; however, I had to install it slightly further away than the instructions advised due to how the lock on my door and woodwork is set up. Doorsense would not calibrate at all. This could be less of a Yale issue and more a user issue. You do have the option of drilling into the door and adding Doorsense as a flush application. I felt that the skills needed to do that were beyond my comfort zone. Plus, I just didn’t want to drill into the door. The lock itself won’t calibrate, either. It tells me there is a jam, where there really isn’t. The lock is functional. When I use the keypad to lock the door from the outside, it chimes and does a random pattern that indicates an error. The door is secure, though. If I test the lock with the door open, then the keypad lights up in a square pattern to indicate it worked properly. One thing to note here is that you have to be quick to get your code in before the keypad shuts off. The Schlage I replaced allows you to take more time to key in your code. You have to type fast on the Yale keypad for it to work. The app also shows the door as unlocked with it is clearly locked (photos attached to this review). I cannot use the app to unlock or to lock the door. The event log logs everything correctly; the app just thinks it’s unlocked. I don’t have an Apple Watch, so I could not test that feature. I didn’t see anywhere that this was an option for Samsung Smart Watches. The fingerprint sensor was easy to set up, but it gave me errors at first. The software has updated since my install. I tried again after the update, and I was able to set that up. You have to put your finger on the sensor twelve times. You must place your finger exactly on the sensor the same way each time, or you’ll do it repeatedly until it takes, then you can go on to the next placement. I was able to make spare keys at a kiosk at my local superstore, so at least that was easy. I really like the lock overall. I just wish I could get the app the work as advertised.

    Yale Electronic Lock Yields Security & Convenience

    Yale - Assure Lock 2 Smart Lock Wi-Fi with Touch Fingerprint Access perfectly blends rigorous security with the ultimate convenience of a simple touch. You also have the optional flexibility of locking or unlocking the door via your home WiFi remotely from anywhere in the world, using an app on your cellphone or smart watch. If you do not have WiFi available near this Smart Lock, simply get within 30 feet of the lock with your cellphone & it automatically switches to Bluetooth to receive your Lock or Unlock command for a solid, secure connection. The Yale Access App is awesome! It makes setting up as many locks as you choose to install a breeze. I had already installed several Yale smart locks at my home several years ago & use a 3rd party app to control them. The Yale Access App is backward compatible & immediately discovered my existing Yale locks & paired with this new lock. It also combined my old & new Yale locks on my Apple Watch. The app can alert you whenever the lock is locked or unlocked & even identifies who activated it. The Touch Fingerprint control is the primary difference between my existing Yale Locks & this new Assure Lock 2. The accuracy of the fingerprint control is nothing short of amazing! If you choose, you can even voice control this smart lock with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. CONCLUSION: This Yale Assure Lock 2 combines the highest security with incredible flexibility and convenience & earns my highest recommendation.

    Nice lock but who needs a key?

    I have a few Yale smart locks so most of my comparison is to the other ones I own. Overall, the process to get this installed is the same as any bolt lock, and the instruction do provide cut outs if you need them. Since I already had a hole in my door where this would fit, for me it was just taking the old one out and putting the new on in. Once its installed, you get into the app to set it up. Every Yale lock I’ve had, I seem to need to set it up twice as the first time it fails. Same thing happened here, it didn’t want to connect to my Wi-Fi so I had to re do it and then it worked. I also use Apple HomeKit, and adding this lock worked too so I mostly use that instead of the app. The connectivity options are great, and you can set the key codes and access though the app rather then on the physical lock. Since I have multiple locks, all using the app, its an easy access place for me and then family can use that or directly in HomeKit. Outside of the app to lock and unlock, you have three other options. You can type in a passcode that you setup, you can use your fingerprint (setup in app) or use the key. To me the odd part here is the key, since the whole point of me getting a smart lock is to remove keys. Maybe it’s a feature someone likes, but the other Yale locks I have don’t have keys so I’d prefer the finger print reader and keypad. On the fingerprint side it works pretty fast, so unless I use the phone to unlock the door before, I walk up to it I tend to use the fingerprint reader. Overall nice lock that I would recommend especially if you are new to smart locks and want a key, but for me I think this lock would be nicer without a key at all.

    Satisfyingly Secure

    I never thought that I would have one of these for a couple of reasons. One being that I just was afraid of having to learn how to even use something like this and secondly, I was just plain scared of what it would take to install a smart-lock. I'll admit that I'm not the most handi of handi-men. I like to be able to get someone that knows a craft and pay them accourdingly. To feel better about my purchases. So I was a bit sceptical when I was offered the opportunity to try this out. I did have a big hand in installing this smart-lock and yes. I did also have a professional assist in the process. The box comes with everything you'll nee to change out your old deadbolt, and for the most part, this thing is super easy to insatll. The biggest issue you should have is waiting for the update of the firmware( and that shouldn't take up very much of your time;), and figuring out who you're going to give access to( for bragging purposes, really) , because you're going to feel super cool after getting this thing up and running, coupled with the fact that you did it yourself. As long as you've got a good door( My door is kinda janky.), this thing will go on in minutes and you'll setting up your WIFI connection before lunch. The app is accessible (It's actually called Yale Access.) But it's very easy to use and grant temporary access codes to people you want to let in when you're not a available. I really love being able to get in my place when I'm overloaded with things in my hands and can't get to my keys. The lock recognizes that I'm close ( because of my phone) and it will unlock my door for easy access. If I'm too faraway from my home, and I forgot to lock my door (if that would every happen...It could though)the lock will automatically lock up as soon as I'm out of range. It works great with my Google home and obviously, it is battery powered( 4 AA batteries that come in the box. And they are easily accessiblefrom the cover on the back of the door) I will be switching to rechargeable after these go out. It should last about 3 months, with steady use. Code entry, Key access. WIFI access.Timed access. Remote access. This thing is just the besst. I would recommend this if you've got family coming in from out of town, cleaning people coming or maintenance. Air B&B owners should totally jump on this. It's been a while since I've given a 5 star review, but oooh, it was worth the wait. Get you one of these.Or few, if that's your bag. ou'll thank me for it.

    Yale Assure Lock 2 Smart Lock Wi-Fi w/ Fingerprint

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was excited to try out the new Yale: Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi and Touch Fingerprint reader. I've read a lot about these and they seem to be the premium of the crop. I was most excited that this newer version came with Wi-Fi so it could be unlocked more easily as well as brining support to Google Home integration. Pros: - Easy installation and initial setup. This generally installs like any deadbolt lock, with an extra bracket to support the larger size. Downloading and using the Yale app was straight forward, for the initial setup. I was able to lock/unlock, calibrate, and setup PINs very easily. Sharing the lock with other users so they can setup their own PINs was also simple. Adding to Google Home and/or HomeKit was also simple - The build quality of the lock looks great. The Stain Nickel finish matches my door handle perfectly - The app is able to unlock/lock the door from anywhere with the installation of the included Wi-Fi module. Using the pin mad also unlocks the door easily. Pressing the finger print "Yale button" also locks the door when leaving - Has a physical key included incase the lock batteries die when you're out of the house - Can setup "guest codes" for when people come over, and you can set them to expire. Also good if you plan to use this for an Air B&B or other rental properties. Cons: - Battery life with the Wi-Fi module installed is horrendous. This is almost a total deal breaker for the entire lock. I've had this installed for only 2 weeks, and the batteries complained of 10% life during just the second week. This is totally unacceptable. - Finger print registration process also has not worked for me. The instruction are "use the app". So, what I "use the app" it walks you through steps. Step 1: "place a hold finger on reader until the LED light blinks green". ok, so I do this, and the lock immediately activated to lock the door (this is what it's supposed to do when not registering finger print). I can never get the lock to actually go through the fingerprint registration process. It got so frustrating, I gave up trying. - The app will often display the incorrect status of the lock. I'll lock the door when I leave the house, verify it's locked. When I return, open the app, it still says "unlocked" which gives me a moments fright. I try the door, it's locked. I press the green "unlocked" button in the app, and the door then unlocks. I also notice this behavior when in the house. - Using Google Home or HomeKit both have severe delays. Pressing lock or unlock from either platform results in about 20-30 seconds of waiting before something happens. Often time, I press it again thinking it didn't register. I've mostly stopped using either, which is an absolute bummer for me as I hate individual apps and want to exclusively use one or the other depending upon if I'm using an Apple or Google device to control it. - The lock itself becomes uncalibrated far too often. When manually locking I often have to "force" the lock further to actually lock the door. I can hear the motor whining when I do this. This cannot be good for the device, but having to constantly calibrate is also unacceptable. I can see doing this when batteries are replaced (currently every 2 weeks!!!!!) but it happens every few days that I've just given up recalibrating it. - Fingerprints show up on the touch surface, and the digits cannot be rotated. This makes it easier for people to see what numbers have been pressed, and possibly guess the PIN easier. I think I'm being extremely generous with 3 stars on this. Some of these problems I'm chalking up to possible environmental on my part, or even user error. However, battery life, calibration, fingerprint registration all seem to be device faults and characteristics of this model. I think I'm going to simply remove the Wi-Fi module to get better battery life and simply use the app over bluetooth when home, or, just using keypad digits (unless i can find a way to register fingerprints at some point). The entire hallmark feature of this lock, the integrated Wi-Fi is also it's largest drawback. App sluggishness, inconsistencies, and poor performance over the internet all make the core conveniences of the generation "2" more or less unappealing. It's still more convenient than a normal lock, but I'd suggest saving the extra money and get the non-wifi model, or perhaps, just get a more inexpensive smart lock, without any of these feature, that don't really work anyway. I will not be recommending this generation of Yale lock to anyone.
