Yale Assure Lock 2 Deadbolt, Satin Nickel Smart Keyless Entry Door Lock with Wi-Fi Connected Keypad for Code Entry and Remote Access, YRD450-WF1-619

I love these locks. They are exactly what I wanted and more. I've only had them installed for a couple of weeks but they are working well. I like that they are Wifi enabled and don't depend on some other connectivity in the middle.I took my time to install these and I recommend you do the same. If the lock pocket is not clear so the mechanism can move properly the battery will likely wear out quickly. I spent a good 30 min manipulating my door frame with a chisel and a dremel tool to get it perfect. So far since I did that I've had zero issues with the lock working as expected. The actual install instructions are very well done. I like the included thickness guides. Just follow it step by step and it should go well. Initially you connect to the lock with your phone via bluetooth. This works fine and the lock can work this way indefinitely. The magic comes when you add the extra module. It includes Wifi and the best part is the magnetic sensor. The lock walks you through calibrating the sensor and once done it can tell you the status. It's open/closed, locked/unlocked. In addition to this I like the look and feel. I really hate the membrane type button locks on the market. I wanted a button I can see and feel and these have that. These are flat round buttons that light up so you can see them in the dark. The overall look is modern and clean.I do have two small functional complaints. First, I don't like that I have to hit a check mark button after I put in the code to activate the action. I would prefer if it activated as soon as the last digit of the valid code was entered. Second, while it looks nice the logo button activating the lock function is not clear. Put the logo above it and put a lock icon on it so it's clear. Minor complaints though. I really like the locks overall and unless I run into some unseen issue I will continue to buy these for my needs.

My preferred lock as an Airbnb SuperHost! This works extremely well with the platform integration and even works when there are multiple listings used by one lock (for example several rooms in a house rented separately). I will note that Airbnb Customer Support was not educated as as well as the Yale Customer Service regarding the integration. I highly recommend Yale for the quality of their product as well as their customer service, who is very knowledgeable and helpful. Easy and fast to install, works fast and everything is managed in a very easy to use app to facilitate keyless entry. I am extremely satisfied with the price and quality of this lock and the ease with which I am able to communicate with my clients through Yale emailing them and sharing with them via the app their personalized code. Highly, highly recommend!

*****Updated Review May 2024****Device errors and overheatsI bought this lock in Nov 2022 (so roughly 1.5 years now) and would highly discourage anyone buying this lock as it is dangerous and overheats.The battery issue has always been terrible on this product. It last maybe 1 months tops before needing replacement, so I'm constantly burning through batteries. A couple months ago, the lock was low on battery, so husband replaced it and then less then a week later the lock was again low on batteries. I thought perhaps my husband mixed up the double A batteries and put the low batteries back in by mistake and just let it be assuming it was a mistake.Just last week, the lock started giving error sounds that it wasn't locked even though the door was locked and then indicated it was low battery, so I changed it. Again, less than a week later it was low battery and continued having errors. When I went to open the compartment to replace the battery, I could smell smoke, and when I removed the front 2 batteries, I could see that the top coil touching the battery was so hot it was glowing red. I immediately removed the rest of the batteries from the hot coil/device and burnt my finger with a small shock in the process.When I contacted Yale, they did a simple apology, didn't care at all that I burnt my finger, that the device overheats or care to fix/understand why it was having potentially dangerous issues, but that the device is over a year old and since it was, out of warranty, and the most the can do is offer 20% discount on the next product. Such a terrible response. I will not be buying another product from them, especially if it puts me or my household in a potentially dangerous situation.********"When this works, it's wonderful but due to the terrible battery life and finicky app I wouldn't recommend it.Set up: not as straight forward and took a lot of trial and error. The app set up also wasn't included and I had to call for them to tell me how to set it up since this was too new at the time.Battery: this thing just chews through batteries. I'll need new batteries every month and there's no way to see battery life. You get a warning sound when its almost dead and then within a day it'll stop working and you won't be able to lock your door from the outside unless you manually do it. Also, Everytime I put new batteries in it resets my connection to the app....App: laggy. I get booted everytime I put new batteries in.

I have been using this product for about 9 months now. It was easy to install. The directions were good. It connected with the WiFi network very easily and has stayed connected. I have replaced the batteries only once and the app notified me. A very good purchase for the house. The ability to give guests a temporary code is really nice so you don’t have to give out your personal code every time you want someone to check on your plants or animals when you are away.
