Building on Yale’s original Assure line, each Assure Lock 2 model now comes with smart connected capabilities. All models are programmed using the Yale Access app and immediately work with Bluetooth technology and Apple HomeKit.² Wi-Fi smart modules are also available in the box with the locks or sold separately, and no longer require a Wi-Fi connection bridge, allowing for even easier setup. Additionally, Z-Wave smart modules will be available later this year to serve Z-Wave customers. These models offer the wide range of integrations Yale is known for, with partners including Airbnb, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Philips Hue, Ring Alarm, and Samsung SmartThings.³ Shortly after Matter becomes available, a Yale Matter smart module will be sold separately, giving Assure Lock 2 customers the ability to adopt the smart home industry’s newest connectivity standard.⁴

The story continues

Sporting an all-new sleek, subtle and compact design, all Assure Lock 2 models are up to 30% smaller than their predecessors. The locks feature a modern, universal look with tapered angles, domed surfaces, and fingerprint-resistant matte keypads for added security. Each lock can perfectly complement any residence – whether traditional family homes, homes for younger or older generations, or vacation rentals – making home entry noticeably easier without being noticeable. Assure Lock 2 is easy to install and works with more doors of varying thicknesses and hole sizes, making it the most versatile smart deadbolt replacement lock in the US and Canada.

“Whether you regularly host guests, hire a pet sitter, have a neighbor check on your house while you’re on vacation, or just want extra peace of mind when you’re away from home, Yale Assure Lock 2 has your front door covered,” said Jason Williams, President of US Smart Residential at ASSA ABLOY. “Our new collection taps into Yale’s 182-year heritage of trusted security and combines it with a fresh and timeless design, wide integration with your favorite smart home devices and the latest technological advancements like Matter – in keeping with our commitment to protecting the things you love.”

Like previous Yale smart locks, Assure Lock 2 can be managed in multiple ways, providing the choice and freedom to leave traditional keys behind. Users can lock and unlock using the keypad and provide unlimited unique entry codes to guests, service providers or other visitors. They can use the Yale Access app on a smartphone or Apple Watch^®without worrying about losing or hiding physical keys, or ask a voice assistant⁵ to control the hands-free lock. Finally, customers can use auto-unlock, a Bluetooth-powered feature that unlocks the door on approach and eliminates the difficulty of finding keys; and automatic locking with DoorSense^®Yale technology that signals whether the door is open or closed, so the door locks when closed.

Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options are now available in four different models – keyed and keyless touchscreen and keyed and keyless keypad – on BoutiqueYaleHome.com and online at major retailers including Best Buy, Lowe’s and The Home Depot, with in-store and Amazon availability coming soon. Z-Wave models will be available later this year. All models are available in black suede, oil rubbed bronze and satin nickel. For more information on models and pricing, ranging from $159.99 to $259.99, visit BoutiqueYaleHome.com.

The standalone Wi-Fi smart modules are available for $79.99 and the Matter smart modules will be available for $79.99.⁶ The Wi-Fi and Matter smart modules will also work with Yale’s original Assure locks, so existing customers won’t need to buy a whole new lock to get enhanced connectivity.
