Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch (New) - Fingerprint Door Lock in Black - Unlock with Your Code or Your Fingerprint - YRD420-F-BLE-BSP - No Wi-Fi

I needed to be able to check the status, lock, and unlock the door remotely even when not at home. This Yale lock does that. The app works pretty well, quickly showing you the lock status, allowing you to see a log of lock/unlock events, and you can add guest codes and fingerprints. The fingerprint reader works fairly well but I'd like it if you could add multiple fingerprints per person rather than being limited to one. You can kind of do this by creating a guest account for each additional fingerprint, but it's not quite as convenient. Battery life is TBD. I installed the lock with the included alkaline batteries about a month ago. There's no battery level indicator in the app or on the lock itself, but presumably it will notify me somehow once the level gets low. My previous smart lock had a very large Li-Ion battery pack which claimed to get up to 1 year of battery life. The Yale lock only promises 3 months of battery life when using wifi. Not the greatest - I'd love it if they could switch to a larger rechargeable pack, but the quality of the lock itself so far is miles beyond my previous one. So I'll deal with having to change the batteries a few times a year. The keypad so far has worked great despite being in sub-zero weather. My biggest concern with smart locks is their reliability and longevity, so I'll update this review if there are problems down the line. But for now, very happy with it.

I had an August lock for about 6 years, and it finally died (common issue with accelerometer ribbon cable snapping). Needed an upgrade and found this one. Man what an upgrade! The fingerprint sensor is a game changer. It works flawlessly so far, and being able to lock the door with just a touch without keys makes it truly keyless. I find auto-unlock is a tiny bit more responsive than the August lock but still not 100%. You still have to be within around 15 ft of the lock when it’s trying or it’ll fail. Having HomeKit is great I can also just as Siri to unlock the door if I have no hands free. The passcode on the screen is great for relatives or visitors that I don’t want to open my door all the time. Love all the options, the only one missing is Apple Keys which would round this out to be the ultimate lock, but it’s not necessary with all the other options available. I was able to swap in the cylinder of my old deadbolt into the lock (Weiser) and it fits ok. Not perfect but it works if in a pinch there’s an outage or the lock isn’t behaving, I still have a good old key. Also for any August coverts, yes this model still works with the old August connect wifi bridge that plugs into a wall socket, so save a few bucks and just get the base unit that has Bluetooth only and use your old bridge! Bonus the old plug in means the batteries last longer in the lock. So far loving this lock!

Was great when it worked. After about 3 months it stopped. Followed all support and replaced batteries and reset to factory settings.. it's useless. Very disappointed.

Las cerraduras Yale no funcionan en México, por lo que no recomiendo su compra. Es una pérdida de tiempo y dinero.

I installed the lock but then couldn’t pair it to the App. I contacted local Yale support and was then advised by the technician that this lock was only for the US market, despite being sold on Amazon AU. I quote: ”The Yale Assure Lock 2 is a Yale US product, and Yale US was bought out by Fortune Brands; therefore, the Yale Assure Lock 2 is not a NZ product and it has not been designed to work with our Yale Home app here in NZ as a result, unfortunately. Any Yale product that is from the US region will only work with the Yale Access/August app for users based in the US.” I won’t be buying another Yale lock, that’s for sure.
