Yale Home Assure Lock 2 Deadbolt - Keyless Touchscreen with Bluetooth

Our review of the Yale Home Assure Lock 2 Deadbolt finds it best suited for homeowners who want key-free entry with simple smartphone control and reliable daily convenience. The single biggest reason to buy is its flexible unlocking options: a digital touchscreen keypad, the Yale Access app on a phone or Apple Watch, and optional Auto-Unlock via Bluetooth that can open the door as you arrive. Installation is straightforward and the design is clean, making it a practical upgrade for an entry door without requiring a Wi-Fi hub unless remote access is needed.

Key Features

• Key-free access: The touchscreen keypad lets family members unlock the door without carrying a physical key, reducing fumbling at the door.
• Yale Access app control: Use the app on your smartphone or Apple Watch to lock, unlock, and manage access codes from the front step.
• Auto-Unlock via Bluetooth: When enabled, the lock can automatically unlock as you approach so you do not have to take out your phone.
• Shareable entry codes: Create and send custom access codes to guests and service people for controlled temporary access without hiding keys.
• Auto-Lock with DoorSense: The lock can re-lock automatically after entry, giving peace of mind that the door is secured if you forget.
• Enhanced app security: App features restrict who can lock or unlock the door, helping keep access limited to the right people.

Who It's For

The Yale Assure Lock 2 is ideal for homeowners and apartment dwellers who want a clean, modern deadbolt with multiple keyless entry methods and straightforward local control via Bluetooth and the Yale Access app. It works well for families who need to issue temporary codes to visitors, pet sitters, or contractors without distributing physical keys.

Those who need full remote control from anywhere or integration with a voice assistant without a local hub should consider adding a Yale Smart Module or a separate hub, since the lock itself does not include built-in Wi-Fi. Users sensitive to battery consumption should also note mixed customer feedback about battery life before committing.
