Yale Assure Lock 2 with Bluetooth – Oil Rubbed Bronze Smart Lock for Front Door with Keypad and Deadbolt – Secure Keyless Entry Door Lock (No Wi-Fi), YRD430-BLE-0BP

A pickless lock, as it has no key at all. I saw this on the Lock Picking Lawyer podcast and thought I'd give it a try. It's actually better than expected. We only wish it came in bright brass, but otherwise, it's a PERFECT product, worth every penny. Easy to install, with parts included for three sizes of door thickness and two diameters of deadbolt latches. We had bought a Honeywell unit, but disliked it because it has no backlighting, but this one is backlit and has nice buttons that light up. It even plays a tune when you enter the correct PIN code. Great design. I also like the 9V battery failsafe option. Brilliant.

This was an excellent purchase. The battery life lasts a little less than a year. It was very easy to install and it looks so slick on my black door. It is very durable as my lock is exposed to some water when it rains and it had held up very well.

This is the keyless version of the lock. I figured; I have three entry doors. If I have a key but the batteries have quit on the keyless lock - meh, use the other doors! If I don't have a key -- a key cylinder is not going to save me. This version is very clean looking from the outside. The inside is still the bulky box but what are you going to do? Easy to install (my house is OLD) the backset is 2.5" not 2 or 3. It took me a while to figure out how to jam the throw to work in a 2.5 backset but it is working great. I am sure someone could kick the door in slightly easier - but it's glass - so you want in, you're coming in no lock is stopping you.

Looks sharp and well-documented installation steps.

Reliable. Batteries last a long time with regular use (installed ~3 months ago, still at 74% for the front door used many times daily). Requires WiFi and cloud for initial setup, but can then delete the app afterword. You do need the app if you want to wirelessly control it via Bluetooth without any added modules. Critically, this is compatible with the Z-wave 700 series module, model AYR-MOD-ZW3, which can be found on EBay (see photo 3). This has allowed local-only control of the doors via Home Assistant. Once you give up control of the lock via the Yale app, it is easy to add the lock to Home Assistant with the Z-Wave JS UI integration. DoorSense is now innately compatible with the 700 series module with no extra setup outside basic installation (see photo 3), and instantly shows up as an entity in Home Assistant. In addition to a door open/closed entity, it also has battery % entity. Even from within Zwave JS UI without other helper scripts/automations, you can setup auto-lock features and maintain many different codes. Also, the black color matches any matte-black handles out there, including the Schlage handle seen in photos.

Some lessons are learned the hard way and I should have known better than to buy an electronic lock without a backup key. I bought FOUR of the keyless version for a new build. Setup was easy, if you know how to hold a screwdriver you will be fine. Setup with the app is also easy, however for each lock something minor would go wrong - sometimes the calibration would fail and you just have to redo it, sometimes it would lose connection with the lock, sometimes a step would take forever and I would put my phone down for a minute and do something else. It wasn't a problem until I got to the last lock, and it somehow froze during the setup process. I thought to myself it's not a big deal, something went wrong every other time and they worked just fine (the first two locks I had actually installed months prior and they were fine). Not this time, however. When I re-opened the app, the app had saved the last lock with a default name that was the same as the main lock to the guest house that I had installed months ago. Well guess what - for some reason now the app wasn't working with either lock, and the guest house was locked with no way in. I called customer support. Their answer - there is nothing we can do about this. Drill the lock. That's what they told me to do. Unbelievable. Oh, and they refused to refund me for the locks, my time, a locksmith, or the door should it break. They offered to let me apply for a warranty claim. When I asked if I could at least get the version with the backup key, they said "that is not possible". Best part is, I was able to actually drill into the lock and open the door, despite having no idea what I was really doing, without putting a scratch on the door itself. I immediately removed all 4 locks and threw them in the trash and they are being replaced with something that has a backup key from another company who keypad locks I have had forever without any issue. I would never risk buying something from this company again.

We got locked out a few times that I had to climb the 6 feet fence and go around the house to open the back door; I am old!!. This lock acts crazy. Now we have to leave a 9v battery, just in case.. It is a nice looking lock and small. I only use it via bluetooth, not wifi.

Excellent packaging:the lock is packed very carefully and neatly.The lock itself is well-made and sturdy. The materials are high-quality, and the buttons press smoothly and pleasantly. Everything needed for installation is included, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow.Everything required to fit the lock into a door frame is provided.I highly recommend this lock to anyone looking for a simple code lock that is still reliable and secure.

This product is not suitable for use in Australia. After communicating with Yale Australia, Yale USA I have had to uninstall the complete lock system, package it & return it. This product should never be sold in Australia. It is solely for use in the USA & is incompatible with the configuration software required to make the lock functional.

NO FUNCIONA EN MEXICO

Installed this in my home about a week ago and so far it’s doing a great job. The installation process was super easy. The only issue I had was that it wasn’t installed level the first time I had installed it, so I disassembled it to redo the whole process and level it with the door. Just make sure that you have other primary entrance doors as this is a keyless entry.

Bought this smart lock in the UAE. Customer service tells me it only works in the USA. DO NOT WASTE YORU MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT IF YIU ARE NOT IN THE USA.

La he devuelto ya que no funciona con la app yale home, solo con la app “yale acces” únicamente disponible en estados unidos y Canada
