Summary:
I bought this lock mostly for the auto lock feature and ability to ditch physical keys. The short of it is that this lock has been everything I hoped it would be. The fingerprint access method is great and what everyone in my family prefers to use.
Security / Access Features:
I like the lack of a physical keyhole. Youtube "pick deadbolt" or "bump key" to see that most physical key locks are easy to bypass. No physical key means that vulnerability is eliminated. Also eliminated are the chances of losing a key or having it unknowingly copied. The downside is what to do if the lock batteries die. Yale provides 9V battery contacts on the keypad for this case - still I'd recommend researching solutions with a physical key if you only have a single door.
I opted to get the version *without* a Wifi or ZWave module. These optional modules provide remote access but add potential headaches. Issues I've learned about from researching other locks include mysterious rapidly draining batteries, remote lock flakiness and firmware lockups. To be clear, I'm *not* saying *this* lock has any of these issues but a less complex system naturally has less that can go wrong.
In any case, the WiFi or ZWave modules can be added later for extra cost if the features they bring become important.
Without Wifi / Zwave, the options for unlocking the door include:
- Keypad codes, you can program multiple codes and set the times they are active. When choosing this method I suggest using one or more digits multiple times in the code for added security.
- Fingerprint. You can add up to 25 fingerprints. This is the most convenient access method. It would seem that with each fingerprint added, the chance of a "false positive" (accepting an invalid fingerprint because it's close enough) would rise but I don't see needing to add a lot of prints as a common need.
- Bluetooth proximity. Simply having your phone near the lock. I'm not sure how good it is at determining if you are inside your house or outside so I have it disabled.
- Phone app via bluetooth. This method allows anyone that can unlock your phone to unlock the door too (although you can add an extra validation code). Still more secure than an anonymous device like a physical key or apple watch.
Of the methods above, my family prefers the fingerprint method because it's convenient and you always have what you need.
The lock also had the ability to autolock itself after a configurable 1-30 minutes after being closed. I think this is a great security feature which covers forgetting to lock the door when going to bed or leaving the house. Love it.
Installation:
I thought that installing this lock was very easy for the most part. Having a door with standard spacings was surely a help. I suggest looking at the manual ahead of time to get the measurements and avoid the potential disappointment of an incompatibility.
One thing that did not work out of the box was the "door closed" sensor. There are two installation methods: an "easy" flush with the door method and slightly harder inline-with-door method which requires drilling a 5/8" hole. It turns out that the "in app" instructions contained a critical piece of information not present in the printed instructions: "flush with the door" only works if your door is also flush with the wall. Mine is not. So I switched the install from flush to inline with the door method and all is well.

In Love with Yale Locks.
I finally found the lock I needed for a while. I had the level lock before this lock came out. The horror stories of the level lock made me really consider a new lock. But my overall desire for a lock was:Can I get one with a key as well as fingerprintWill it unlock the door when I get within a certain range.Can I have multiple people on the lock and grant and remove access they have.Can it lock after so many mins ( ADHD of forgetting to lock my door).Can it be wifi with Alexa or Goole or HomekitThis lock did and better then the level lock. I bout the fingerprint and the lock version. I never could get the level lock to unlock withing the distance needed. And this does at least for me this works exactly the way I need it too.Thank you Yale no more headache's with my mom's fingerprint not working.
