In the app, you can add guests, who can be given permission to access the app or simply be given a code to lock and unlock the door. You’ll also want to make sure that auto-lock is also turned on in the app, so that the door bolts itself shut. You can increase and decrease the radius around which the lock will activate or deactivate, though. I found that it worked well - once I was around 10-15 feet away from the door, the lock automatically opened - but it does make me a little uneasy that there’s no secondary authentication needed to unlock your door. By enabling the auto-unlock feature in the Yale app, the lock will automatically open once your phone gets within Bluetooth range. Of course, you don’t have to press any button at all. However, in order to activate the pad’s backlighting, you have to first press the Yale logo at the top - something that might not be obvious, even to those who have used smart locks before. While the matte number pad is coated to prevent your fingerprints from leaving a mark, I wish it also had a security feature like the Kwikset Halo, which requires you to press two random digits before entering your code. The throw on the inside was solid and smooth. The lock’s number pad lit up instantly and responded just as quickly to my inputs. The Assure Lock is powered by four AA batteries should they run out of juice, you can hold a 9-volt battery to the bottom of the exterior portion of the lock to temporarily power it, so you can get back in your house. As part of the installation process, you also set up an access code on the keypad like the original Assure Lock SL, the Assure Lock 2 can only hold 250 codes. ![]()
