Yale Assure Lock with Wi-Fi – Black Suede Smart Lock for Front Door with Touchscreen Keypad, App Control, Backup Key, and Deadbolt – Secure Keyless Entry Door Lock, YRD226-CBA-BSP

Overall, I'd highly recommend. I went with the "keypad + key" option as I live in a condo with only one entrance, and I don't trust anything electronic 100%. This way I can keep a key in my car, just in case. The hardware part of the installation was simple enough; luckily all the dimensions on my door and doorframe were within tolerances. The only surgery was drilling a 5/8" hole in the doorframe to place the included magnet (which allows the lock to know when the door is closed, enabling features that depend on that). They also give you the option to glue this magnet to the interior face of the doorframe, if you don't want to drill (but it'll be visible). Or you can omit it entirely. The software part didn't go 100% smoothly, but it was *much* better than I'd expected. I followed the included directions which tell you to put everything together and set a master code on the keypad. I then installed the Yale app and attempted to link my lock, but got a message stating that the lock was already registered and the current owner would have to give permission to allow a factory reset. Weird, as I bought it new, but I clicked "OK". I was then prompted to scan a QR code, and received another error stating that it didn't match the lock's serial number--which was bogus. I decided to do a factory reset and try the in-app setup first (before setting a master code) and this did the trick, so it seems you need to do things in that order--but the instructions don't state this, and the app was giving odd/incorrect feedback. Another point of confusion is whether to have the 'smart' module plugged-in when you remove/insert batteries. It seems to differ based on exactly what you're trying to do. I eventually got it all set up, though. I also had a minor issue with placing the WiFi bridge module. I have an outlet that I *thought* was ideally placed: it's on the same wall as the door, only about four feet away. It's also unused and hidden behind furniture, so perfect for my purposes. Unfortunately, I could not get the bridge to connect to my WiFi from this spot. When I moved it to the other side of the room, it connected up just fine. I thought this was strange, as it's only about a 15' difference and there are no additional obstructions besides a cheap couch--which 2.5GHz should zip right through. Who knows? With everything working, I'm very satisfied. Auto-unlock (when my phone gets in range) works superbly, and I like that I can set it to automatically lock as well. The app is reasonably intuitive and stable. All in all, it's the right combination of features and it's nicely executed.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME & MONEY ON YALE LOCKS!! I have been using 12 Yale locks for over a year now from April 2023. I’m a short-term rental operator & bought these locks because they have an integration with Airbnb, so it automatically creates the codes for each guest when they make a reservation. The problems I’m facing with Yale locks: - It erases the master code randomly & you have to completely reset the lock & set it as a new one, manually adding already existing reservations - The guest’s codes stop working during their reservations. The guest entered their code & Yale flashed light saying the code is expired (you may see the attached below video) I had multiple times when guest codes didn’t work when they arrived in the middle of the night. Can you imagine someone driving for 5-10 hours with kids & arriving at their Airbnb - the lock doesn’t work?! - The lock screen turns off randomly & you can only open the lock with the physical key - In 95% of the cases it does not show you the status of the batteries, nor send any notifications until it dies & turns off the lock, so you need someone with a physical key to open it. - Almost all the locks constantly lose connection with Wi-Fi. I’m getting nonstop notifications of the locks being disconnected & connected. These wifi connection software is extremely weak - When I want to change check-in/check-out time through the Yale App - it deactivates the guest’s code & I can not even delete the user & re-create a new one. So the code is not working & I can not remotely do anything through the Yale app. I need to drive to the building to manually create a password for the lock. When I call customer support - they are asking you to be physically presented near the lock in order to troubleshoot it. From my experience, it takes 1 -1.5 hours on the phone call with Yale technical support to follow their troubleshooting protocol & in most cases, it is not resolved. I called today Yale warranty team to return all the Yale locks that I bought from Amazon & they refused to accept them & refunded me. I spent 3.5-4K for 12 locks & had been dealing with the problems related to these locks for over a year constantly nonstop.

Pero si tienes que tener las herramientas correctas para que el trabajo sea lo más limpio y correcto. Cabe mencionar que para la programación no es tan sencilla, hay que ser paciente y buscar, pero hasta ahora después de un mes de uso está funcionando muy bien.

I couldn’t find the lock with the keypad and key option as well except for on American Amazon. Unfortunately that means that the bridge that comes with it for wifi is a US plug so I had to buy an adapter to plug it in. During setup was a bit of a doozy to told me that the lock was already registered to another owner, then I realised you have to scan the QR code on the bridge not the wifi module. Also registering the module prior using the keypad is important. It should be noted that the module and bridge that came with this lock are actually Yale branded and I could not get it to setup in the august app, it did work perfectly with the Yale access app. My router does pick it up as an August product so I presume august and Yale modules and bridges come from the same factory and they just brand them with which ever logo they feel like on the day. Overall my experience with this lock over two weeks since being installed is really good, I’ve had zero connectivity issues that others have mentioned. My bridge connect is right next to the door hidden inside a wooden bench seat. The app is flawless, have assigned access codes to 10 different people and the activity log and ability to lock and unlock remotely is amazing. The lock looks really smart on the wooden door with matching black handle. Definitely the nicest looking smart lock I’ve come across.

Súper cerradura, un poco complicada su configuración, pero al final quedo todo bien configurado, excelente cerradura, 100% recomendable, ahora solo falta que así siga funcionando, al100%

Easy to install and works like charm. Have keys, door sense and wifi module all inclusive for a very reasonable price. Lot of functions, especially liked the autolock and door ajar warning features.

El número de serie y módulo nunca funcionó. Adicional a esto se contactó al vendedor para factura y nunca respondió
