I purchased several brands & models of Smart Locks to get the most reliable locks on my house. I bought Kwikset from a Big Box Store. I bought the Yale / NEST from Best Buy, and anticipated this would be the BEST lock. Was I surprised! I have 12) NEST IQ Cameras, NEST HELLO Doorbell, 6) Smoke / CO Alarms & 2) NEST Gen 3 Theremostats. So I am a NEST Fan! The Nest proved to be completely UNRELIABLE. 90% of the time you could not access it away from your own WiFi! The Yale / Assure was my next choice, and it is 100% reliable. it ALWAYS is accessible, even out of the country! Yes, I tried it from Mexico. It is accessible via August, a free app, via Home (Apple), via Bluetooth, via WiFi, via Alexa & via Google!! You can select any or all of these protocols to operate the lock. Whereas the Yale / NEST had only ONE means of communication outside your house - NEST. I could not leave home & check on the lock status - EVER! So I bought 3) NEST / Assure Locks. I have had 3) connected for 3) months without the first failure. They even offer an optional trigger, which I haven't connected yet - drill a hole & insert a sensor behind the deadbolt in your door & it will advise you by phone if your door is OPEN - a separate alert from UNLOCKED. This lock earned 5 Stars & have become a permanent fixture on my 3) doors. Kudos to Best Buy for taking back the unreliable Yale / NEST locks!! Thank You to BEST BUY & the HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION to Yale / Assure Lock SL with August. I would buy them tomorrow if I did not have them already installed!

No temporary keys like other but has remote access via apple home kit (must have iPad or Apple TV 4th gen as hub) Lock or unlock from away from home, touch controls no physical buttons to wear out and easy to install

Love this lock. It’s a little more black than rubbed bronze, which I’m pleased about. It works great! It’s so convenient to be able to use an app to lock and unlock the door. We have had previous keyless locks and this by far this one is the best. The only issue we have had is with the app not unlocking the door quick enough but it could be an internet connection issue.
