A smart lock can make your life much easier, whether you rent out your home to guests, want to keep track of when your dog walker comes and goes, or are just sick of fumbling with keys. Yale’s Assure Lock 2 is smarter and more stylish than its predecessor, and all models work with Apple HomeKit.
It starts with a model that only has Bluetooth, and the top model has a touch screen and Wi-Fi. No matter which one you choose, the Assure Lock 2 lets you lock and unlock the door in different ways, make and manage access codes for guests, and see a timeline of door and lock activity.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]The base models come with a keypad with physical buttons, but for $20 more, you can get a model with a touch screen. Each one comes with or without a key. If it has a key, it has a mechanical key cylinder that works with a physical key. Both models with and without keys cost the same. There are three finishes for the Assure Lock 2: Black Suede, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, and Satin Nickel.

Where to get Yale Assre Lock 2?
All of the models work with Apple HomeKit and the Yale Access app, which is available for Android, iOS, and watchOS. Yale’s DoorSense device, which uses a magnetic sensor to tell when your door is open or closed, comes in the box with the Assure Lock 2.
To control the lock from further than Bluetooth’s limited range (about 30 feet), you need a Wi-Fi Smart Module. This module fits into the back of the lock and lets you control it from anywhere using the Yale Access app. The Wi-Fi Smart Module is easier to set up now that it doesn’t need a Wi-Fi Connect Bridge. It also doesn’t take up a wall outlet. Yale sells the Assure Lock 2 with the Wi-Fi Smart Module already built in, or you can buy the module separately and put it in yourself.
The Assure Lock 2 collection fits on doors that are 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick and have a deadbolt bore hole of 2-1/8 inches (standard in the US) or 1-1/2 inches (common in Canada) and a backset of 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches.
