Yale Assure Smart Lock 2 Review 

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.

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.

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

Love your style of reviews!

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.

Good review! Upgrading to Assure 2 from older model.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Does the app have a battery percentage remaining feature? I have Blink Cameras and they have that feature on the app, as they also run on AAs.

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.

will the remote access work without home hub (apple tv / homepod)?

is there a back up when the power goes out?

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.

Three fingers to wake the screen up boss.

How loud is this thing when locking and unlocking?

Is there a setting in case the batteries die and you are left outside?

What's the point of the sensor if the door lock is still on a timer and will relock itself with the door open? I currently have the original Assure lock and I can't stand the fact that if I'm bringing stuff in or am standing in the doorway talking to someone, the auto-lock will still lock itself with the door open. This has led to me slamming the deadbolt up against the door frame probably over 100 times over the years. It also means that I'm also playing chicken with it, should I leave the door open 25 seconds and I'm too afraid to close the door because I'm not exactly sure when the lock is going to pop back out. This has also led to a bunch of mis-timings and the lock getting jammed because the door was only partially closed. Over the years, this has led to the mechanism getting really worn down and is the reason I'm looking to replace it.

Lmao homie's combo is 6969. 10/10 review!

Tactile buttons or screen?

Fingerprint?

This would be so killer with a Apple home key feature.

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 bought this lock and it continually failed to auto lock - leaving my door unlocked for severa days. the calibration kept failing though I did nothing to cause that. Yale admitted there was a problem with their app and it would take a month to fix. I paid a lot for this stupid lock and now I'm throw it out and go with the cheaper non-wifi lock

Does it not support Apple Home Key?

Level lock is #1 ....Assure Lock is #2a along with Schlage Encode Plus.

3 months of battery life? That's stupid low. It should be like 3 years

Easy sub just from the password

Overpriced, I can get a similar lock from Chine for 1/3 of the cost. A lock from China will work anywhere, but Yale carves up the market to keep prices high. Locks bought in the US won't work in the rest of the world bc they lock down the apps. I foolishly bought a lock in the US, took it back to HK to use only to discover it won't work with the app for this region, and they won't help me get the USA app. The lock from China has fingerprint reader, camera, app and even a card reader like hotels use, under $100. This is a book brainer.

The Auto Unlock function is garbage
