Nest x Yale - Smart Lock Wi-Fi Replacement Deadbolt with App/Keypad/Voice assistant Access - Black Suede

Just get this already! What are you waiting for? This lock will give you such a peace of mind. The installation is super easy. You are provided with instructions on how to set up the app, videos to walk you through the installation of the physical unit, and tools to get the job done. Long gone are the old days where you leave your key under the mat. Who has time for that anymore? Nobody wants to walk around with a bunch of keys. This will save you so much time. I love how it also allows you to provide unique codes for your guests. You can choose when they expire or give them a permanent one. Even if your power goes out for whatever reason this lock is battery operated, so you won’t have to worry about not being able to get into your house. Give this lock a try you won’t regret it. Trust me when I say this is a winner.

Even though I had a friend who had a nightmare situation tryi g to install a smart lock himself - I went ahead and did it myself. I am very impressed at how easy this install was. I truly believe it has a lot to do with a very well manufactured machine. I didn't keep track, but I'm quite confident I had the old luck out and the new lock in place and online in less than 30 minutes. The only negative I can say is about the bulkiness. Small price to pay though for how great it looks on the outside. The profile is so flat and modern. The entire digital setup was well-guided with clear voice instructions - never once needed to deciate to any troubleshooting steps. Integration with other systems has allowed automation that was fully in place not long after the installation. Very happy so far with this purchase.

Simple to install, looks good and functions just as advertised. If you do your research and check preparation instructions, you won't have any trouble. Altogether, it took me about 45 min to an hour to install. However, I'm one of these people who reads the instructions, studies the assemblies and dry runs it. The only issue that I had was that I needed to make the bolt hole in the door frame a little deeper. That's the only place where I feel the product could help troubleshoot more effectively. After I installed it, set it up and turned things on, it did a self-test. It told me it couldn't finish the installation and I needed to check my set up. However, it didn't give any real clue as to what was actually wrong. After watching closely a few times, I was able to see where the trouble was. When it tried to lock by itself, the bolt wasn't able to go as deep as it needed to go. When I looked more closely at the instructions, I could see where it mentioned how deep the hole needed to be. Once I realized that, I had it fixed in 5 minutes with a hole drill (that I have because I'm a handly kind-of-guy). A chisel would have worked too, but this was easier for me. Once the hole was about another 1/2" deeper - it worked as smooth as silk. In the one picture, the assembly can be seen as being slightly out of level. This is because the original lock that was installed, was installed slightly out of wack. No-fault of this lock. I've already got some nest products: Smoke alarms and thermostat, so I had the app already installed. Adding the lock was as simple as a few taps from within the app and all done. Finding the right location for the (included) Nest Connect took a few extra minutes, but overall is a painless process. Have patience though! My wife and I love it! We especially like that we can give unique entry codes to different people and can put these on a schedule. Also handy is the ability to remotely unlock/lock the door and check the status of the lock itself. Next up: Nest doorbell!!
