Yale - Assure Lock 2 - Smart Lock Keyless Wi-Fi Deadbolt with Touchscreen Keypad Access - Black Suede

Good lock that works with Apple HomeKit app and Yale Access app. Decent improvement over their previous version YRD226 which required a Yale Connect Hub for internet access. Wi-Fi is built into this one within the module. Much cleaner set-up and ordering this version gets you everything you need for HK and Wi-Fi (also works with Bluetooth and AppleWatch Yale app). Hardware is slightly condensed over previous model. Yale Support is 24/7 if there are any issues with set-up. I installed two Yale model YRD450 locks so far. Printed and app instructions (with videos/images) for physical installation of lock are quite good. Note, DoorSense (magnet) if installing into door frame, I suggest using a 9/16 spade drill bit. In their literature they show in a picture a 1/2 drill bit (too small, DoorSense magnet won't fit) and they reference in copy 5/8" drill bit (hole will be slightly too large--a metal door with cause the magnet to pop out and stick to door side--on first door I had to use silicone sealer in the hole to solve the issue "by gluing in the magnet" so it wouldn't pop out. The 9/16" drill bit worked just right on second door--magnet goes in snuggly (takes a few taps from a rubber hammer) and stays in place flush with the door frame. On the first one I had to call support for help (module had HK Code + Yale QR code AND Lock Hardware had different HK Code + Yale QR code--if this happens use the lock HK Code and QR code, not the module. The second lock didn't have this issue and I simply used the codes on the hardware and had no difficulty following the Yale Access app directions. I can recommend. I do hope they last 15+ years. Nice to have remote access to lock and unlock doors, see who is going in/out, provide temp password entry to guests, etc. Now maybe I'll have time to clean and paint my doors!

Great doorlock, extremely quiet. The Yale app always works; great to have the option of unlocking or locking the deadbolt from the phone. We use this lock for an AirBnB and it is extremely easy to set up a temporary passcode for any guests that arrive. The only drawback is the battery life. I have to replce the batteries about every 2 months. I did expect a longer battery life.

It was a simple installation & is working great! this lock is amazing!! I love the features & design of this lock. The auto lock & unlock is so convenient I don’t need to get my phone out for it to work.

I walked into Best Buy knowing I wanted to get a keyless lock and the wonderful associate who helped my and answered all of my questions was amazing. After looking at several, I decided on this one and since I didn’t know how to install it myself (truthfully, I was too lazy to read the manual), I also paid to have someone come out and install it for me. The lock works both with an app and with a touch screen on the outside of the door. To lock it, one only has to push the Yale button on the top (if you are leaving the house) and to lock it once you are inside, you manually just have to flip to lock to horizontal mode. Whether you are inside or out, you can also use the app to lock/unlock it and on the app, when it is locked it will sound a chime and turn the circle red, and when it is unlocked, it will sound another chime and turn the circle green. Super easy to use.

Easy to install, beautiful to look at, works very well with HomeKit. Pro-Tip: It does not set up WiFi automatically during initial, so make sure to do that after install.
