The Yale Assure Lock 2 in black suede provides keypad, app, and traditional key entry in a clean modern deadbolt — the black suede finish complements dark door hardware and modern door trim better than standard silver or matte black finishes. Works standalone or integrates with most smart home ecosystems via the Yale Access app.
The auto-lock, tamper alert, and access scheduling in the Yale app provide active security management, and the keypad allows guest code creation for service providers and guests without giving out physical keys. The keyed cylinder backup provides entry if the battery dies.
Smart lock integration isn't seamless with the Yale Access bridge (sold separately) for remote control — without the bridge, the app only works via Bluetooth at close range rather than over Wi-Fi from anywhere. A premium-finish smart lock for homeowners with dark door hardware and a modern aesthetic who want convenient keypad access with full smart home integration capability.
