Yale Assure Lock 2 Keyless Deadbolt - Z-Wave Smart Lock

Our review of the Yale Assure Lock 2 finds it best suited for homeowners who want flexible, keyless entry tied into a Z-Wave smart home. The biggest reason to consider this lock is its ability to connect to a compatible Z-Wave hub and app so you can lock and unlock from anywhere, share unlimited user codes, and use optional Auto-Unlock when you approach the door. Installation is straightforward for a deadbolt, and the included smart module simplifies adding the lock to systems like SmartThings, Ring Alarm, or ADT for remote control and automation.

Key Features

• Z-Wave compatibility: Add the lock to a compatible Z-Wave hub and app to lock and unlock remotely and include the device in automations.
• Multiple access methods: Users can enter with the touchscreen keypad, the Yale Access app on smartphone or Apple Watch, or Auto-Unlock when enabled.
• Shared codes: Create and manage unlimited access codes for family, guests, and service people so you do not need to hide a physical key.
• Auto-Lock with DoorSense: DoorSense can detect a closed door and trigger Auto-Lock so you will not wonder whether the door is locked.
• Included smart module: The package includes a Z-Wave smart module so integration with a compatible smart home is simpler out of the box.

Who It's For

The Assure Lock 2 is for homeowners and renters who already use or plan to use a compatible Z-Wave smart home or alarm system and want remote access, code sharing, and automated locking. It suits people who value multiple ways to unlock a door, including a touchscreen keypad and phone or watch control.

It is not the best choice for users outside the U.S. or Canada, because it will not work internationally, and buyers who need flawless app performance or extended battery longevity should research reports of mixed app behavior and battery issues before committing.
