Yale Assure Lock Deadbolt Satin Nickel - Smart Touchscreen

In this review of the Yale Assure Lock Deadbolt the reviewer found a practical blend of modern convenience and traditional reliability; this lock is best for homeowners who want keyless entry plus a proven mechanical backup. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a backlit touchscreen keypad for daily keyless access and Z-Wave compatibility for remote control when paired with a compatible hub. Installation is straightforward on standard doors and the inclusion of two physical keys and a motorized BHMA Grade 2 deadbolt gives clear peace of mind.

Key Features

• Backlit touchscreen keypad: Enter user codes easily at night without fumbling for keys thanks to a responsive, illuminated keypad.
• Z-Wave smart control: Add the lock to a compatible Z-Wave hub to lock and unlock remotely and integrate with existing smart home routines.
• Physical backup keys: Two included keys provide a reliable mechanical option if batteries die or if users prefer a traditional entry method.
• Simple swap-in installation: Replaces most standard deadbolts in minutes on doors 1-3/4' to 2-1/4' thick using only a screwdriver and the supplied hardware.
• Durable certified deadbolt: A BHMA Grade 2 fully motorized deadbolt offers quiet operation and solid security performance for daily use.
• Finish protection: A rubber gasket helps prevent finish marks on the door and the lock carries a lifetime limited warranty on finish and mechanical hardware.

Who It's For

The Yale Assure Lock is ideal for homeowners or landlords who want a clean touchscreen interface and the option to add smart home control via a Z-Wave hub. It suits anyone who values a straightforward install and the reassurance of a physical key backup and a certified motorized bolt.

It may not be the best choice for buyers who want a fully integrated vendor app out of the box or those without a compatible Z-Wave hub, since smart features require a separately sold controller and the features available depend on the chosen Z-Wave system.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Works with home automation systems via Z-Wave, enabling remote control and voice assistant use when paired with a compatible hub.
