Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.
