Yale Assure Lock 2 with Bluetooth – Oil Rubbed Bronze Smart Lock for Front Door with Keypad and Deadbolt – Secure Keyless Entry Door Lock (No Wi-Fi), YRD430-BLE-0BP

I finally upgraded to the Yale Assure Lock 2 Deadbolt and I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner! This lock is an absolute game changer for convenience and peace of mind. First off, the installation was shockingly simple. The instructions were clear, and I had the old deadbolt out and the new Yale lock in place in under 15 minutes. It looks incredibly sleek and modern in the Satin Nickel finish—it instantly elevated the look of my front door. But the real magic is the performance. The digital touchscreen keypad is perfectly responsive and lights up nicely at night. I love that it’s keyless; no more fumbling with keys when my hands are full of groceries! The Bluetooth connectivity makes setting up and managing access codes through the Yale Access App a breeze. I can assign unique codes to family, friends, or services, and easily revoke them whenever necessary. The quality of the build feels solid and durable—it's a high-security Yale lock, so I know my home is protected. Even without the Wi-Fi module (it uses Bluetooth, as indicated), the smart features are exactly what I need for daily access control. If you are thinking about making the switch to a smart lock, THIS IS THE ONE! It delivers on security, style, and amazing functionality. Highly recommend!

I bought this to replace a Keyvo lock (Bluetooth lock with very vulnerable cylinder) and an Obsidian Lock. The Keyvo was very unreliable and would sometimes crash and proceed to drain the battery and the final straw was the app was being de-commited. The Obsidian was better, but would sometimes get sluggish and take forever to respond. The Yale Assure Lock2 has been much better than either Kwikset lock I had. It is very responsive and it is much faster to get in than Obsidian. It is very reliable. I had to enlarge holes slightly because the Yale is much fussier on hole alignments, but I got it together.

I’ve been using the Yale Assure Lock 2 for a while now, and it has made a big difference in everyday convenience and home security. The keyless entry is super easy to use, and the keypad responds quickly every time. I love not having to worry about carrying keys anymore. Installation was straightforward, and the satin nickel finish looks modern and premium on the door. The lock feels solid and well-built, and it operates smoothly without any issues. Battery life has been good so far, and the app setup was simple and intuitive. Overall, this is a reliable and stylish smart lock that adds both security and peace of mind. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade to a keyless entry system.

I purchased this Yale lock (bought 2 and another one with a fingerprint sensor) as part of my quest for a keyless home in early 2024. The main reason I chose this model was its design, which I like best among the others. Initially, I bought it without the Wi-Fi module and integrated it into Home Assistant via Bluetooth. Since the purchase, I’ve contacted Yale customer service three times: first about a missing door sensor (which I later found inside the box), second with an installation question about the door sensor (they referred me to the instructions), and third for a factory reset (they remotely reset the device for me). In all cases, their responses were quick and mostly helpful. Recently, I grew frustrated with slow responses from Home Assistant commands, so I added a Zigbee module, which has been working nicely. Battery life has also been solid. The original set lasted about 8 months to a year (depending on usage). My second set—Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries—has been lasting much longer, possibly due to a firmware update or simply better batteries.

Reliable. Batteries last a long time with regular use (installed ~3 months ago, still at 74% for the front door used many times daily). Requires WiFi and cloud for initial setup, but can then delete the app afterword. You do need the app if you want to wirelessly control it via Bluetooth without any added modules. Critically, this is compatible with the Z-wave 700 series module, model AYR-MOD-ZW3, which can be found on EBay (see photo 3). This has allowed local-only control of the doors via Home Assistant. Once you give up control of the lock via the Yale app, it is easy to add the lock to Home Assistant with the Z-Wave JS UI integration. DoorSense is now innately compatible with the 700 series module with no extra setup outside basic installation (see photo 3), and instantly shows up as an entity in Home Assistant. In addition to a door open/closed entity, it also has battery % entity. Even from within Zwave JS UI without other helper scripts/automations, you can setup auto-lock features and maintain many different codes. Also, the black color matches any matte-black handles out there, including the Schlage handle seen in photos.

Overall, it’s a pretty good electronic lock. Installation was very easy and straightforward. However, I did have some difficulties setting up the special code to lock the door. I also haven’t been able to complete the door calibration - I’m following all the instructions correctly, but it still gives me an error. Because of this, I can’t use all of the lock’s features. That said, overall I’m still satisfied with the purchase.

Some lessons are learned the hard way and I should have known better than to buy an electronic lock without a backup key. I bought FOUR of the keyless version for a new build. Setup was easy, if you know how to hold a screwdriver you will be fine. Setup with the app is also easy, however for each lock something minor would go wrong - sometimes the calibration would fail and you just have to redo it, sometimes it would lose connection with the lock, sometimes a step would take forever and I would put my phone down for a minute and do something else. It wasn't a problem until I got to the last lock, and it somehow froze during the setup process. I thought to myself it's not a big deal, something went wrong every other time and they worked just fine (the first two locks I had actually installed months prior and they were fine). Not this time, however. When I re-opened the app, the app had saved the last lock with a default name that was the same as the main lock to the guest house that I had installed months ago. Well guess what - for some reason now the app wasn't working with either lock, and the guest house was locked with no way in. I called customer support. Their answer - there is nothing we can do about this. Drill the lock. That's what they told me to do. Unbelievable. Oh, and they refused to refund me for the locks, my time, a locksmith, or the door should it break. They offered to let me apply for a warranty claim. When I asked if I could at least get the version with the backup key, they said "that is not possible". Best part is, I was able to actually drill into the lock and open the door, despite having no idea what I was really doing, without putting a scratch on the door itself. I immediately removed all 4 locks and threw them in the trash and they are being replaced with something that has a backup key from another company who keypad locks I have had forever without any issue. I would never risk buying something from this company again.

I’m very happy with this keypad door lock. Installation was quick and easy, and the instructions were clear. The keypad works perfectly — the buttons are responsive, and the code is easy to set and change. The lock feels sturdy and secure, giving me much more peace of mind. I also love that I don’t have to carry keys anymore. The design looks modern and fits nicely with the door. Overall, excellent quality and a great upgrade for home security!

This product is not suitable for use in Australia. After communicating with Yale Australia, Yale USA I have had to uninstall the complete lock system, package it & return it. This product should never be sold in Australia. It is solely for use in the USA & is incompatible with the configuration software required to make the lock functional.

Bought this smart lock in the UAE. Customer service tells me it only works in the USA. DO NOT WASTE YORU MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT IF YIU ARE NOT IN THE USA.

Works well and easy to install. App easy to navigate.

Il comportamento di Yale è veramente indecente, questo smart Lock funziona esclusivamente se si scarica l’applicazione sul market USA, in qualche modo si riesce a scaricare l’applicazione purtroppo però per poterla configurare è obbligatorio mettere un numero di cellulare USA pertanto vivamente sconsigliato l’acquisto fuori dagli Stati Uniti, salvo che non abbiate il numero di cellulare USA e riusciate con una vpn a localizzarvi in USA durante la creazione dell’utenza.

La cerradura es de muy buena calidad y fácil de instalar, pero, a la hora de darla de alta con la app de Yale, resulta que no es compatible en México: no reconoce el código QR, ni el número de serie, ni la encuentra por bluetooth. Hablé a Yale México y me confirmaron que efectivamente, son equipos que no tienen soporte en México y que sólo pueden usarse en EEUU y Canadá... Muy mal que Amazon no lo retire de su página.
