Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second Nest Yale lock. So far, works great. Easy to use with the Goggle Nest Application. Easy to install.

I now know who is home and I can check to make sure my door is locked a must have with the nest secure security system.

So many options are available...from per person codes, to automatic closure based on ring fence, to excellent appearance, to security. Ring-fence reactions can be a bit slow though.

Purchased in 2018 and love it. Works great. Just replaced the batteries for the first time. You wont be disdisappointed.

Easy to install where previous lock was. Nice to be able to control with my phone. I love the automatic locking feature!

Huge fan of Nest Yale Locks have them for all our homes. A total of 12 and they work flawlessly.

Great lock! It connects easily to google home app and works just like it’s supposed to! I recommend it!

Works awesome. We now use front door again since we don’t need keys. Best purchase.

Love this. Easy to know who comes and goes and changing code is a breeze.

Minutes to install and ever so easy to use. Instructions need to be viewed on line, but we only needed them to program our codes.

I love this lock. If we forget our keys we can still get in the house. I can let family in my house from my app if I’m not home. My family loves it

Take-Aways: 1. After setup, if the Next x Yale is removed from the Nest app, the Yale can still be locked from the outside, but cannot be unlocked from the outside. 2. Anyone with a drill can reset the Yale and unlock it within 5 minutes.  Product Suggestions: 1. If access codes are not working, then the Nest x Yale should have a safeguard preventing it from being locked from the outside.  2. It should be impossible for drilling to reset the Nest x Yale to factory settings.  Sept 1, 2019 - I purchased and installed the Nest x Yale lock on my front door. - I downloaded the Nest app, and added the Nest Connect and Yale lock.  - I programmed access codes for each family member.  - It was pleasantly simple to set up and everything was working perfectly.  Sept 2, 2019 - Yale was “offline” in the Nest app.  - Our access codes still worked.  - I confirmed Wifi was working properly. - I tried moving the Connect, resetting Connect to factory settings, removing and re-adding Connect and Yale to the Nest app. I did not reset the Yale to factory settings. - The Next Connect and Yale would no longer add to my Nest app. - Short version of the story… We locked the door from the outside using the button at the top of the Yale keypad. - When we tried to unlock the door, the Yale remembered our access codes but they would not work, announcing, “this code is not working right now.” - Entering random access codes produced an error sound, not the same announcement.  - Nest customer service could not access the Yale since it had been removed from my Nest home in the app. They recommended calling a locksmith and said they would reimburse me for the cost of the lock and for $250 worth of the locksmith’s charges. It was Labor Day. The locksmith’s charge was $424. - Within 5 minutes of drilling the Yale announced that it reset to factory settings and let me enter a new master code to unlock the door.  The locksmith recommended Schlage brand locks. 

Love knowing when my children are home if I am away with the user passwords. I feel very secure knowing when my home locked away from home.

Great product, it has helped us a lot, especially when we need to let others in our home when we are not there.

The use of this door lock is just as advertised. The most useful features are the auto lock and notifications sent about the door locking status.

Works well. Had to change battery once a year for our current usage.

I love this lock. No more fumbling with keys. I can see when my kids arrive at home. (Great when they think they can lie when they get home) lil

Is it pricey? For sure. Is it worth it? 1000%. Having some contract work done on my home made this a no brainer for me. I can set specific codes for each family member or contractor. I am able to see when they come and go from time stamps and am able to quickly delete codes as needed. It integrates well with the rest of the Nest (google) ecosystem and puts a little peace of mind incase we forget to lock the door if we leave in a hurry.

Easy installation. It works smoothly. It can be controlled with Google Mini voice commands. Not compatible with Alexa.

Works well with the Nest App. I have this along with the Nest Doorbell and both provide me with an added layer of security for my home.
