Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch Deadbolt - Fingerprint Smart Entry

Our review of the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch finds it best for homeowners who want fast, keyless entry with reliable biometric access. The single biggest reason to buy is the built-in fingerprint touchpad that unlocks with a 99% accuracy and under 0.5 second recognition time, making daily entry seamless for busy households. Installation is straightforward for typical US/Canada doors and the Yale Access App adds remote control and virtual keys, so it suits families, pet sitters, and anyone who prefers not to carry physical keys.

Key Features

• Fingerprint touch: The biometric scanner provides fast, personal access that cannot be lost or duplicated, saving time and reducing key management.
• Wi-Fi connected touchpad: Remote locking, unlocking and virtual key sharing from the Yale Access App lets you manage access from anywhere.
• Multiple access methods: Use fingerprint, keypad codes, phone or Apple Watch so the lock adapts to different household preferences.
• Activity tracking: The app tracks who comes and goes with an Activity Feed, useful for monitoring visitors or service people.
• Auto-Lock and DoorSense: Automatic locking and door status awareness offer convenience and extra peace of mind when leaving home.
• Matte keypad: The fingerprint-resistant keypad reduces visible smudges for a cleaner entryway.

Who It's For

The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch is ideal for homeowners in the US and Canada who want a modern, secure alternative to keys and value biometric convenience, app-based management, and multiple backup access methods. It works well for busy families, homeowners who host pet sitters or short-term guests, and users who prefer managing access remotely.

It may not be the best choice for buyers outside the US and Canada because the product is region-limited, and those prioritizing the longest possible battery life or the simplest, no-app mechanical lock might look elsewhere.
