A:AnswerNo, the deadbolt is beveled and aligning it is very easy. It literally is so quiet during actuation that at times I have to look to be sure it has latched. The auto lock feature (place your hand over the keypad as you leave) can be set to play a sound when the deadbolt is in place. This is a great piece of hardware!
A:AnswerThe battery cover is the larger cover on the inside of the door. There is a small screw hole at the top, remove that and the cover comes off exposing the batteries for an easy replacement.
A:AnswerNo, not that I'm aware of. Multiple codes, but no scheduling built within the app itself. Not sure if there is some other way to do this using IFTT (If this then that), but again not within the app/lock itself.
A:AnswerThe instructions are here. It is the PIN Code programming section. Depending on where you are in the setup (have you set a Master PIN) etc it is hard to say. The instructions are easy though. https://www.yalelock.com.au/Local/AU/Technical%20Downloads/Yale/secure%20connect/yale%20assure%20SL/Yale%20Assure%20SL%20Installation%20and%20Programming%20Instructions.pdf
A:AnswerThis lock does not work with the Ring Doorbell. It does work with August Doorbells. The Yale T1L Lock with Z-Wave (YRD120-ZW), available on Bestbuy.com, works with Ring Alarm.
