Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.
