I have this lock on my front door and the older model on my garage door. I love both. Well worth the price tag IMO.

[JonKaye]

Great video. Thanks. I have the old model and think I will be upgrading. By the way, you can wake up your keypad by touching the screen with three fingers simultaneously. Works for locking it as well. The back of three fingers works great ergonomically.

Would the bluetooth version increase the battery life? Great video describing the Yale Assure 2 lock.

I own this same lock with the physical keys. There is an issue that Yale is working on where after a few weeks, the activity logs stop showing events in the app. If you use the app to lock or unlock it will show but nothing else until you pull the batteries and then all the past one show up. They think it’s a server issue.

Huh, fascinating to see that Yale uses the August app. That app is very well designed.

Good review! Upgrading to Assure 2 from older model.

Those door sense modules are just magnets and the actual sensing components are inside the lock. Because they are just magnets they reuse them for every lock. My lock is at least 4 years old and it came with the same exact module.

I’ve been a Kwikset smart lock guy for many years. I was considering their Halo, but I think it’s time to switch up and try this.

[TomMarvan]

Great review! 6:12 so the door will lock even when the door is open? This seems like a deal killer to me.

[scottelliott]

Awesome review! Really wish I would have seen this before buying 3 of the last generation

[tristanmandigo]

Hey man great video, very informative👍🏾. My question was how does the touch screen function in cold weather, you answered that.

[simonelapenta]

Great Video! can I ask you what lighting fixtures are the 3 linear pendants on the left side of the entry door?

[clairelogistics]

Thank you for this review. I like the laptop briefcase bag, kindly share link to check it out.

I liked the first version better. The keypad on the new one is not very sensitive. I do like the fingerprint reader and the air is much smaller. I do like it I just don't like the touch screen but I only have had it one day so probably need more time to get used to it.

[DeKay]

Can you tell me if this lock makes a lot of noise?
My current smart locks motor is so loud it’s brutal to use at night when my family is asleep.
It’ll literally wake my wife up.
I’m thinking of getting this but I can’t find a review video of the actual sound it makes when it locks/unlocks.

[AndyClark-po]

Three fingers to wake the screen up boss.

[tbny]

is there a back up when the power goes out?

[baoanprounited]

My BIGGEST concern is what if there is no wifi and the door not opening? With the key, at least you have a backup. Im too new to the smart door lock, so please go easy on me 😅

I’ve got the Yale Doorman and Yale Connect which uses the same app - how did you get it into Homekit ?

[SeanMcDonnell]

if you have glass windows in your door, probably should have a keyed deadbolt on the inside of the house. way too easy to break window and turn to unlock it with your current setup
