This is by far the best product I’ve purchased ever. I live in an apartment and it was the best option to convert to a smart lock that’s available. The product is retrofit so I didn’t have to change the key and maintenance can still come and go as needed. It was super easy to install. The directions were very clear. I purchased this lock because I have a teenager who can’t seem to keep up with his key, I love that you can unlock the door with the keypad or it will automatically lock when you get near it. Although I will say the automatic unlock function is not suitable because it only gives you an option to unlock the door when you’re about a mile away and the app doesn’t quite support the unlock feature and map tool. I love that I can set unlimited code to give to friends and family, and I can also disable those codes when I don’t want those people to have access to my house. It’s also very convenient that I can check when the door is locked or unlocked or if my kid forgot to close the door all the way which sometimes happens, there’s an automatic lock feature where you can set the door to lock a minute after it closes, which is super convenient. I love the option to have a fingerprint sensor, although it will only support one fingerprint instead of multiple fingerprints from different people, I am super happy I invested in this product. It was super easy to set up as a directions and instructions were very clear and straightforward not to mention that the app gives you step-by-step directions along with pictures and videos. I love the option of also using my Alexa to be able to lock and unlock the door when unlocking the door with Alexa it requires a pin code to unlock so the door just can’t be unlocked by anyone who has access to your Alexa.I highly recommend this product as it has been a game changer to my smart home.

This is by far the best purchase I’ve made for my apartment. While the initial setup might require repeating a few steps to get everything configured correctly, once it’s done the lock works flawlessly. The standout feature for me is Auto Unlock—it’s incredibly convenient. As soon as I’m within Wi-Fi range, the lock automatically unlocks, saving me the hassle of fumbling with keys or pulling out my phone. It feels seamless and makes coming home much easier. If you’re a renter looking for a reliable and renter-friendly smart lock, I highly recommend this one. It combines ease of use with smart convenience that truly makes everyday life better.

The Yale Approach Smart Lock Kit is an extremely high-tech way of securing your entryway! Inside the kit includes the deadbolt locking mechanism itself and a smart-hub that connects to the Number/Fingerprint Keypad for door access from the outside if you do not have access via the Yale Access App. All parts are battery powered as well, so there are no cables connected to any parts in this kit. All parts of the kit, including the matte black deadbolt, keypad and smart-hub, are also very high quality and well made! This is something that is easy to recommend for anyone looking to share access to their apartment/condo without having to provide keys! The deadbolt mechanism was super easy to retrofit onto my door with no prior knowledge of how to install a lock on a door. Pairing with the Yale Access app, an extremely useful must-have if you are the “admin” (aka owner) of the lock (and has many useful settings to explore, like auto-locking, entry notifications, location sensing unlock, etc.), you will be guided through an extremely easy setup process. There is also a small component that is optional to be mounted on the side of the door frame next to the deadbolt lock during the setup process to help the lock indicate if the door is open or not, which I found works pretty well as a peace-of-mind feature for when I’m away! I personally did not need to screw my component into the door frame; the adhesive has worked perfectly! The keypad is also extremely easy to set up, pair and mount outside your door. It works very seamlessly to register a fingerprint or new number combination for the keypad via the Yale Access app, but as a comment on the app, it isn’t the most intuitive app I’ve used for smart home-related devices. It was a bit confusing trying to find the proper place to reset the number code on the keypad, and might require a bit of digging through the app to find the right settings. The app informs me sometimes too that it has issues detecting if my door is actually locked or not, so now I unfortunately don’t have full trust in it being synced at any given time if I’m not near my home and were to trigger a lock/unlock via the app. This is usually caused when I manually lock or unlock the door, and the lock for some reason cannot detect its open or closed state. Overall though, the app is simple to use once everything is set up and the app works so long as the batteries in the deadbolt are on! With my experiences in mind, I personally don’t feel comfortable leaving the house without a physical key with this product, and maybe it’s out of an abundance of caution just to be sure that I won’t be locked out upon the batteries dying unexpectedly (which also ultimately defeats the purpose of the lock for myself), but still, if using in a guest-centric scenario with only the keypad, this kit is a great way for others to be able to securely enter when I’m not present, a purpose it serves best!
