Close to being great, but I'm not sure I trust it

When it works properly it's great. I believe it to be a good product for renters or for folks that don't want to fully changeout locks or have the visual of a "smart" door lock outside their home. I find it often needs to be "rebooted" which is to remove the cover and one of the batteries. If it is in that state and you or a guest don't have a physical key you are locked out with no alternative. The wifi bridge is very problematic and unreliable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hard to lock myself out now

I've been using the Yale Approach Lock for a few months now, and I couldn't be more impressed. From installation to daily use, this smart lock has completely upgraded the way I think about home security and convenience.
Installation & Setup:
The installation was straightforward, with clear instructions and minimal tools required. The lock is compatible with most standard doors and I had it fully set up in under 10 minutes. The ability to connect it to my existing smart home system (via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) was seamless, and the app integration is top-notch.

Design & Build Quality:
Yale has done a great job with the design—sleek, modern, and solidly built. It feels sturdy and secure, with a premium finish that looks great on my door.

Reliable

Sleek design and feels solid compared to August locks since it's screwed in rather than secured to the door with clip wings. Essentially functions the same and comes with the same wifi bridge. Works well so far and no issues with wifi connectivity. I'm buying another one for my parents!

Very nice

This lock is excellent, and I had a relatively easy time installing it. The instructions were clear, and I liked that it can be adapted to any deadbolt. It also worked well with my add-on window blinds. The only challenges I faced were with the magnetic switch, which required a slightly smaller drill bit than recommended, and the WiFi bridge, which took some time to set up. However, I'm very pleased with its performance and integration with Alexa and Google.
I like it because it will lock the door when i leave and unlock when i get back. The fact that it works with most deadbolts and i dont have to buy new locks because it just replaces the inside parts.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the Yale Approach Lock with Wi-Fi recently and I'm really impressed so far. Setup was quick and simple, and I love that I can control it from my phone, even when I’m not home. The app is easy to use, and the lock itself looks sleek and modern. It feels secure and has worked flawlessly since day one. Definitely a great upgrade for convenience and peace of mind!
