This review is for the YRD-216 (keypad version) and it’s absolutely excellent… Except for some issues with the setup instructions that are explained below. It’s only been on the door for a week so I haven’t yet had to deal with wintertime door swelling or anything like that, but when things are aligned it’s great. The bolt moves quietly and quickly (less than 2 seconds). The buttons work perfectly. The rubber gaskets between the lock and the door are a nice touch. I was concerned that the buttons would look tacky (compared to the super cool touchpad version) but they also look really nice. The form and function are really top notch.The only quibbles with the design are that the buttons are hard to read when you’re standing up, and the beeping is super loud. I recommend to disable the sound via the menu options after you’ve got everything set up (it uses different tones to let you know that your programming was sucessful so it’s nice to use the sound during setup). The physical installation instructions were excellent, BUT the operation and setup instructions were not correct for the keypad version (maybe they were carryover from another model but there were several serious errors on this model).Optional extra info in case you buy this same model: First thing, the instructions say to push a button to wake it up. Don’t do that, the lock registers each button push regardless of whether it’s “awake.” However, during programming you should first open the door and then manually turn the bolt to extend it (Normally when you leave the house, you just need to push any button to engage the bolt… So if the bolt is unlocked when you try to start programming, it will assume that you’ve left the house and your first button push will serve only to lock the bolt). OK, so the door is open and the bolt is extended. For some reason the manual does not tell you explicitly that mode 1 is the mode to reset your master programming code. In the future if you want to change your master code you would enter your old master code, then hit the button that looks like a gear (let’s call it “G”), and then hit “1” for the master program mode. Strangely the lock ships with an empty master code, and if you use the hard reset button it also reverts to empty, just FYI. So the first time you use the lock instead of entering your master code and then “G”, here’s what you do: after the bolt is manually extended, just hit “G” and then “1” and then whatever code you want, and then “G” again to finalize the new code. Now you can use modes 2 and 3 to set up your daily door entry codes as the manual explains (except as mentioned above, do NOT press a button to “wake” the lock, just leave the bolt extended and type in your master code). Hope this helps, the lock is really great once you get it set up.

This is my second Yale digital lock. This one has even smaller front and additional button to disable keyboard – handy when locking door for a night. We replaced high security (flat key) lock just to avoid carrying keys. Installation is very easy, but I made mistake by installing batteries too early to program it before installing on the door. When first powered lock is checking if door is left or right hinged and being on the desk it guessed wrong. It was easy to rectify and it was my fault for not following instructions. It is amazing that this lock speaks helping to set it up. Also hardware for all door sizes is included. My previous Yale still works fine for almost two years on the original four alkaline AA batteries. Having two digital locks and garage opener keypad eliminates keys and is very safe, especially when Yale lock can be powered with 9V battery from the outside. My older Yale is on the door facing West and gets extremely hot with direct Florida sun but works flawlessly. Great product.

After playing around with installing several smart locks for friends I decided to get one of my own. I went for this one because I had seen it at a rental and like the look and design of the product. It has been a great choice so far. I like how sleek the design is, the ease of use and how quickly the install was. I don’t have it connect to any smart features like Alexa so I can not comment on that. The cost of the wireless module is just too much to justify getting it for me. For everyday uses this thing does the job. I love not having to worry about my key but I do like having the option for a key unless technology lets me down some day. I’d definitely recommend this product.

I have installed several Yale Assure deadbolts as well as HomeKit enabled smart locks from other brands, and this is by far my favorite! The black finish is very sleek and it matches our matte black hardware quite well. For those who want to control this with a Smartphone, the Connected by August Kit is required for HomeKit integration. Alternatively, you can purchase the Yale Assure Lock SL with August Connect which simply is these same two components placed into a larger box, and with a $80-90 higher price tag.Installation of this lock requires you to completely remove and replace the existing deadbolt. This is typically done with a phillips screwdriver, and is a very simple 2 minute operation. Once that is removed, the Yale Assure tapered deadbolt latch is installed in the door and the deadbolt mounted around it. After installing so many of these, it takes me less than 2 minutes to do these steps as well. It includes the required four AA batteries, and I suggest replacing them with lithium ion batteries when they expire.The next part can require some extra work, depending on how well aligned your deadbolt is with respect to the latch for the handleset in addition to how well the door seals when it is closed. I suggest attempting to lock the deadbolt with the existing deadbolt strike plate to see how things work before making any changes. I have found that I often have to adjust the handleset strike plate so that it latches with the door squeezed tighter against the seal – this typically requires a chisel to physically relocate the handleset strike plate. Once that is done, install the new deadbolt strike plate such that there is no interference with the deadbolt latch. This step is important, as if the deadbolt rubs against the strike plate it will at best wear your battery prematurely and at worst get jammed.Once that is complete, you can sit back and enjoy the beauty and simplicity that is the Yale Assure Lock SL. I really like that this lock does not have a keyed access. There are quite a few options that you can set on this device, such as volume (including off) and one-touch lock which simply requires you to touch the keypad with your hand to lock the deadbolt – such a timesaver when heading out!I installed the Connected by August module ( sold separately ) and that allows me to control this from my iPhone directly from the August iOS app as well as with HomeKit. From the August app, I set up geofencing, so it unlocks when I return home. From HomeKit, I use “Hey Siri” from my iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock the deadbolt.I should note, I also have an August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, 4th Generation , and I MUCH prefer this Yale lock over that. The Yale Assure Lock SL simply works better (more reliable WiFi) and has the ability for me to unlock with the keypad.

I love this lock so much because you can use the keypad or an actual key and most of all I love that I can give someone a door code and then deprogram it so they can’t return to use it. Works great for a pet sitter!

You need the added WiFi module for it to work on WiFi! I returned it and got the right lock that comes with the module. Other than that, no negatives towards Yale Locks

I put this on an outside gate so the pool guy can get in. I had another brand before and that one only lasted months. This one has been working for more then a year with no battary changes. So yeah it’s doing it’s job.

I like not having to always carry around keys with me, touchpad works great
Jim Teague –
I reviewed countless “keyless” digital locks…that came with a mechanical key mechanism. How is that anything more than convenience?? Any key lock can be picked! This one has no mechanical key mechanism, but still has the ability to be used in the event of dead batteries. Brilliant solution.Works beautifully, and narrates your setup instructions. I liked it so well I bought a second one. Now there is zero access to my house via a pickable key lock.

This is by far the best smart lock I’ve installed and/or operated. I’ve installed and operated both Kwikset and Schlage locks, and this one out performed them all. It paired instantly, worked wonderfully, and the battery life is incredible. I have these linked to a Vera home controller and it’s aces.The only instance where it might get funky, which really isn’t even Yale’s fault, is if the door isn’t perfectly aligned or you have to press the door by hand to compensate for any trim seal around the frame. That issue aside, it is quiet, super easy to use and program, and looks awesome. The bolt is actually tapered, so it can help make up for a little misalignment, but try to have a smooth action if you can. You’ll thank yourself. I have 4 of these for my house and they were worth every penny to automate those locks.TIPS:1 – Always make sure you have an easy to access door into your house if you’re going to go fully keyless. If these locks ever fail, the only way to unlock them would be to do so from the inside. If you have multiple ones of these that are easy to access, the likelyhood of all of them failing at the same time is PRETTY slim, but make sure you have a fallback plan in case that actually was to happen.2 – Make sure you “hand” these locks AFTER you install them. That’s when the lock determines if your door is right handed, or left (the direction in which the bolt actually locks). It’s a slight pain in the butt to rehand these locks, as I found out the hard way. The instructions are actually clearly lacking this information, so just follow them step-by-step and you’ll be fine.UPDATE 1/25/22:These are still the best smart locks on the market. So much so that I’ve given them as gifts and everyone loves the reliability and versatility. After almost a year and half of constant use with manual and automated locking and unlocking, I just had to replace the batteries in my locks. They still work as if they were brand new and haven’t failed or lost connection once.
