Love the relock
on January 30, 2020
Posted by: teeinep
Basic installation and the programming is only challenging the first time, after that I was able to program without the manual. I love the relock feature, I just close the door and it will lock itself with no doubt. Good looking, intimidating is someone approaches the door trying to open it. I am happy with the functionality.

Good lock, easy to use, better than those with keypad on the knob
on January 24, 2020
Posted by: K. Salinger
I originally had one of the keypad on the knob type locks (there are several brands, all Asian & all essentially the exact sameknob lock) for this door, however it was constantly problematic... I never could get it to change the master code, It needed frequent battery replacements (& you essentially have to disassemble the knob to do that), & there are screws that go into both knobs - the inside and outside knobs - that would constantly come loose or even fall out (so the knobs were loose & wobbly on the door). It was a constant hassle & not secure.This Yale is a far superior lock unit. Heavy duty construction that feels very solid & secure especially from the outside. I accidentally discovered that if the outside unit is disconnected from the inside unit it triggers a loud alarm so someone trying to disassemble or break it will have quite a loud alarm surprise. It was pretty easy to install but look closely for the pictures that show screw installation to hold the inside the house unit in place, it's easily missed - I had to back up and troubleshoot why it was loose & discovered I'd missed that step. Fyi - I didn't have to replace the existing internal latch as it's works with this, the standard size.It's very easy to program and has a multitude of features the knob lock didn't offer - check out the features listing that I uploaded as well as the step by step instructions for programming, which were very easy to follow.I highly recommend this lock! The only variable at this point is how long the batteries will last.

No more keys in pocket!
on January 20, 2020
Posted by: R. Precourt
I love this lock!! Love love love!!I can't stand having things in my pockets, especially a ring of keys. It is just plain uncomfortable, but we've all had to do it most of our lives if we went to get back into our homes. This lock solves this problem by allowing easy access by simply entering a code!It was so easy to install in place of our existing lock on the garage entry door. Now, we can just drive into the garage and enter the code into the lock to open the door. It is so convenient and I wish we'd had this a long time ago.The lock looks beautiful and matches our other hardware perfectly. If feels solid and works flawlessly. It does come with keys as a backup, in case something goes wrong with the code entry part. We just hid a key in the garage just in case we ever need it.This is a wonderful, solid product and I can easily recommend it.

5-Star Features - 2-Star Security
on January 19, 2020

The newest generation of Yale locks continues to impress me with their durability and functionality. This lock is no exception, with one glaring concern: I would never use this style lock as the primary lock for an exterior door. The deadbolt models of this lock are excellent, but this does not provide anything approaching the physical security of a deadbolt.With that said, this might be fine for an owner's closet at a rental property, or a similar use - with the caveat that you would need to make certain that the batteries always have a charge.Installation and programming are very straightforward. Programming uses the standard option tree found in other Yale touchpad locks, and allows you to set up a master code as well as 25 additional entry codes (or 250 if you install a "Smart Module."For basic functionality, a Smart Module isn't necessary, but you will need one for increased functionality. If you already have a smart hub, the Z-Wave (if compatible) is likely the better choice since using it will allow you to avoid having to install an additional app. If you only plan on controlling this lock, you can use the August module (and app) to control the lock over Wi-Fi. As with all security decisions, make certain you are aware of the risks associated with various connectivity options.Overall I have no complaints about the functionality and interface for the lock. Again, my only concern is that the physical security provided by a spring bolt is not adequate security for most applications where a battery-powered keypad is desirable.
