Following the enclosed installation instructions it to me just about 25 minutes to install the lock set. There was a snag as two steps were missing an instruction, causing me to back track. The lock set was set up for a right-handed door and my door is left-handed. A few adjustments later and we continued with the installation. After installation I noticed the inside unlock/lock mechanism blended into the background and I could not tell what position it was in from a distance. My solution was to put some white paint on the knob. There is only 1 key and no batteries, you will need 4 AA batteries. On the good side: You can store up to 20 different codes, keep a list as you will need it in the future if you want to delete access for any of these codes. The Yale application is easy to use and download. The yale application allows remote access, and it’s easier to program your codes. While this lockset is at the lower end of the keyless entry it is well designed and looks great on any door.

Most of the products of this type require big in depth setups or apps with pages of settings but this one absolutely does not and I love it. As easy to install as any other deadbolt and I even reused my striker plate from my old lock so I didnt have to do more work or put more wear on the holes for that in my door. Essentially after you install it and put the batteries in the light turns yellow, you enter your code you want to use (4-8 digits) and press the Yale button again and it’s loaded in. You can add up to 20 different codes and remove them at any time following a similar procedure with the Yale and mode buttons on the lock (from inside and outside to make sure only you are able to do it). There is of course a key slot for a key that comes with this just in case the batteries are dead or for manual use. I personally am using a set of rechargeable AA batteries that have worked out great so far. Time will tell how long batteries actually last based on use but no issues so far. I do remember a note in the manual for if you have faster drain there is settings to change but I dont forsee this being an issue. I use the auto lock option on mine and really like that to be on because I have kids and teens that are in and out all day that sometimes forget to lock it to keep everyone safe now it just happens. Everyone was already in the habit of having a spare key cut and around a keychain or lanyard so this also just made sense to have on top of having their own codes since it can add so many. Then when they move out the code can be deleted (O_o LOL kidding). Either way this is a breath of fresh air as far as an electronic deadbolt goes because its just so simple to install, set code, and just go without all the problems you usually get with stuff like this. Excellent value for money from a name you can trust in home security and of course it cant be “hacked” if its not on wifi!

I got this for my 89 year old Mother's home. She is in a wheel chair and has care workers enter her home on a daily basis, thus it is difficult for her to go to the door each time to let them in. My Mom is not technically savvy at all and she did not want or need a lock that comes with an app and has a lot of functionality. She needs something simple that has access codes that she can give to her care givers so they can come into her home and provide her with help. Installation was very straightforward with easy to follow instructions. Once activated, the only problem I had was when activating the deadbolt from the outside. I could hear the lock trying to fully "engage" three times then I'd get a "red light" issue from the lock. I determined that it was not fully engaging because the recessed hole in the door jam was not deep enough for the lock to fully extend. I bored it out with a screwdriver a bit and eventually got the hole deep enough for the lock to fully engage.  No more "red light" issue, problem solved. The deadbolt keypad works perfectly. I helped my Mom setup a few different codes for different workers and family members and it does exactly what she needs it to do. If you need a simple keypad door lock for your door with no functionality beyond that and at a good price then this lock fits the bill perfectly. It does not have a bunch of bells and whistles, it is simple and works well, perfect for my Mom.

If you are running from a bear, I do NOT recommend having this lock on your door. Anyway, I have installed many electronic locks in my day and they all look super scary with the instructions and measuring and stuff, and i can say after 15+ installs I have never had to change the current set up so please don’t let that scare anyone. So, unpacked the box and as usual I now have extra parts- fine. Packing was minimal and easily recycled-thank you!!! I used a good Philips head screwdriver and following the steps as written (very important no matter how many times you do these) I installed the new lock. Initially I did it to the right handed side and just could not get it to work no matter what so I simply switched to the left handed install and it went perfect. Once installed I programmed it and tested it. This is where the bear thing comes in. It takes a LONG time to process the unlocking and it’s loud. As the only lock on an inside garage door it would be perfect. Front door? I would not recommend.

I have another Yale lock but the difference is that the other is WIFi connected and this one is not. Also this one has a key while the WIFI connected one does not. So there are some give and takes. This kit comes with everything needed to replace your existing deadbolt. If you have an existing Yale system then installing this will take minimum alterations to your door. I personally had to adjust the door opening a bit by sanding down the opening to have the mounts sit flush without issues. I also did not need to use the included strike plate which is fine. The instructions are good but I got majorly confused bout how the switches are to be set dependent on which way you have the interior of the lock oriented. This install took me about an hour all together. Why? the bolt lock included can be adjusted to fit your door so you have to take that in mind when doing the installation. I do like the black suede finish. It is not flashy and very subtle. The addition of the keypad and key is appreciated in this case. Also this being a non WIFI unit is actually refreshing. Nothing to keep constantly connected, even though I have the capacity. The operation and setting is pretty straight forward and the use of the actual lock perfect. No issues here. I great lock for a great begginers price.

Packaging was well done and clearly separated the variety of steps needed to install. Instructions were clear and unambiguous. I was replacing and existing lock and the process start to finish was done in less than 10 minutes. I would highly encourage you to have 4 AA batteries ready to setup. Picking a pin was super easy and straightforward. Hand tools were more than adequate to install. The color of the deadbolt looks clean and nice. Physical buttons were a welcome move as they allow for a tactile feel in the dark. It would have been nice for two keys to have been included in the box (only one was included), as well as the batteries. The mounting hardware was sufficient to allow for the keypad to be tight enough that it will not move with any normal use or slight abuse. We have been using it for a few weeks now and it appears to hold up to weather pretty well. We had a monsoon-esque rain storm directly fire onto the pad for a few hours, followed by several days of 95+ degree weather.

Easy to install. Love it. Will definitely recommend

If you are thinking about a smart lock, and are on a budget, the Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt is a good option to consider. When we purchased our home, there was already an existing smartlock. Unfortunately, it was a smartlock from a rental company, so we didn't have what we needed to make personalized changes. So, I explored options and knew that I did not want to change back to a traditional lock. The opportunity came up to try the Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt, so I went for it. To start, you don't really get much from an entry level lock like this. I think you are barely getting the bare minimum from a lock like this. So, keep that in mind when shopping for something like this. One of the biggest setbacks from this is you don't get any app control. This means that there is no bluetooth or wifi connectivity available. You are really only getting a code access lock and a key for backup. If you are wondering if there is a way to turn this into a wifi enabled lock...there isn't. This isn't like a true smart-lock from Yale that has a slot for the wifi module. So, you can't convert it over to a smart-lock. Another downside is that this lock does NOT have a sensor for the automatic lock feature that most smart-locks come with. The Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt lock is just programmed to lock automatically after a few seconds, whether the door is closed or not. It really sucks shutting the door and not realizing that the striker is opened and the lock daamajing the door jamb. So, keep that in mind if you do dicide to purchase the Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt . Aside from this, the keypad is very responsive, but does feel a bit cheap. So far, I haven't had any issues getting the keypad to unlock. In my opinion, I would just recommend that you spend teh extra bucks and go with a true smart-lock. The added benefits of a smart-lock are well worth the few extra dollars.

The door lock works fantastic. No more having to hide keys under the plant.

I started out with this lock, but was unable to use it due to it being delivered defective. I ended up switching to a Yale lock since the store rep recommended it to me. Maybe I should have stuck with this one, but it’s not often available in store, Best Buy shipped it to me. I would still recommend it as it is easy to install.
