I wish more of these reviews can discuss long term reliability and battery life, they are pretty important too as you will have to use them for a long time.
One comment on WiFi: 5GHz WiFi is not "5G." Small but important thing to note.
Super annoying. Like when they say 2G. It's a frequency not generation.
2.4 GHz (or the lack of 5 Ghz) connectivity, shouldn't be viewed as a limitation. The range (distance) of 2.4 GHz is typically farther than 5 GHz, and given the very low data rate used by a smart lock, the relatively narrow bandwidth (normally 20 MHz) of a 2.4 GHz channel, as compared to a 5 GHz channel (40 or more MHz), is inconsequential in this application.
I really appreciate the review. After having installed many of the various smart locks, I agree with your favorite. Your channel consistently offers great information, and I, as a fairly new locksmith, appreciate it!
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Awesome and straight to the point!
Thanks!
I am a manufacturer of Exhibitors for Kwikset in CDMX and this video will help me a lot, thanks
Awesome video. Loads of valuable information.
Glad it was helpful!
Have been using a schlage for years, not this model but basically their first model since probably 2008 or later and still works. Gotta replace batteries more often but works well otherwise.
Great video. thanks for your efforts.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Right On! 🙌Thanks!
2 misstatements. 1) The Schlage Encode can accept other cylinders, there's just one screw holding in the cylinder. 2) The Schlage Encode can also integrates with AirBnB. The higher security rating, the superior construction, and the 3 year warranty go hand-in-hand, and made it the logical choice for me. After all, all tech aside, you want a lock that will best secure your property.
Yeah, it was my understanding that one could change the cylinder as well. I find it odd that a locksmith would omit this. Especially, because it will accept all pin high security cylinders than one can swap into any other Schlage deadbolt.
Great Info!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your passion
Thanks!
Great reviews...!
Thank you! If you are looking at buying, I'm starting another product review tomorrow on a new Smart Lock and it could be my new favorite! I should have the videos posted next week.
Good reviews. I appreciate that you as a professional highlight the features that are important to a lock. So many other reviews talk about the tech stuff only, and skip over the core lock functions. Speaking of which, I read that Kwickset drain batteries very quickly. Is that your experience? How do these brands compare on battery life?
Most most of them do pretty well. The early ones went through batteries quicker. But I think most the manufacturers have it figured out. I have seen some defective units across all brands though.
Useful video, good idea to use our skillset this way! I wanted to note that in your cut in you mentioned the Schlage and Kwikset are all or nothing, which is true here. However the Schlage sense lockset requires a wifi module that can be added later if desired making it another contender in this conversation. I believe it also works with z wave but would need to check the product page to be sure. I've got a customer that ordered 4 encodes today and discovered they are hard to get this week, this video compares the exact options I am considering! Again, thanks for the video and I'll be subscribing!
Great comments, and much appreciated. I have heard that the schlage Encode is currently backordered until at least March. Supply issues are everywhere.
Thanks!
Hi, would you be able to share the less cost Yale? Theres a couple and not sure which one is best . Thank you for the video very helpful.
2.4GHz is preferable to 5GHz (not 5G) because of greater range. Your dead bolt doesn't need a high data rate, which is really the only advantage of 5GHz.
Seconding this.
Need some advice here and as soon as possible i have never changed a lock period , have been broken in to several x lately from home and garage both , the garage lock and 4 locks needed to home what should i buy ? I dont know if i can afford to even buy all these locks right now
Can you do a review on locks that arent meant for deadbolts? For those of us who wish to install one INSIDE the house rather than outside, such as for garages/home offices/bedrooms etc.
Like a lock for a file cabinet?
@@albieoval1657 Like for the regular door lock. I'm not sure what it's called, but most doors inside the house do not have deadbolts
@@CCJ879 I'm late, you probably already have your answer but YOU CAN use these in place of a normal handle on a home. The thing is you would have to add a small handle on one side so you can PULL.
The door holes in residential properties are usually all the same size. So technically on a front door instead of having a handle and deadbolt. You can have Two Deadbolts,,, Two Handles or Two Smart Locks.
Because the holes are the same size.
Hello I have a bilock first gen deadbolt now....but a hassle to always use keys.....would I be able to install that cylinder in the Yale model and have ease and key security at the same time ?
I live in FL and have had absolutely terrible luck with Schlage. The Encode is not weather sealed therefor it easily goes down to corrosive salt air and, even worse, humidity! They are constantly dying. Warranty has replaced them but it is a huge hassle. Schlage support acknowledges the Encode has issues, and engineers are working on a fix. I just converted to Yale out of frustration.
I had not heard that about the humidity! Let me know how the Yale does for you, I love that Yale product!
A lot of features on the upgraded Yale lock. Very smart of them to include AirBnb integration, that's gonna get them a heap of sales! Other lock manufacturers would be wise to follow suit. Also the flexible barrel type replacement is very sensible.
I agree. 😊
PLEASE NOTE: Early 2000s, I went with Schlage as their locks have high security rating (mentioned in video). But, after 1 year, you could literally see the numbers pressed on my keypad (big negative) as the Schlage interface is not glass like the Yale. I called Schlage and they sent out a new one with no problem (plus on the company). I plan on going with Yale since video confirms re-keying to any other brand which is big. Also, the glass interface should eliminate (hopefully) the wear on the numbers and ability for threats to figure out passcode.
Good, since Yale is super easy to pick even for a novice as shown by the lock picking lawyer. Lol.
Could you not solve that issue by changing the codes periodically which is always a good idea.
@@billw5823 Yes, I could. But I still think Schlage should use a different material such as plastic/glass over keypad as opposed to matte-type material being used now as it is a vulnerability for oil from hands to permanently stain pads.
@@etherealrose2139 The real question is: What core would you recommend to replace it?
Nice quality product
Thanks for the information! I'm having a home built and definitely want to start off on the right foot.
Best of luck!
Just purchased the Yale-Assure (from your recommendation ) along with the Baldwin front entry handle set for a iron door I’m having installed. Other reviews mentioned not to use those two together. Are you familiar with Baldwin keyless pads? Can I use what I have together? I really like your videos.
There's no reason you couldn't use them together. I suspect they are referring to being able to key them the same (use one key to unlock both locks, the Assure override key and the entry lever key), so that will depend on which keyway your Yale and Baldwin have. In many cases they will both be Schlage and you'll be able to key them to one key.
Hey, this video is great, than you so much for your work. I have a door with a deadbolt and then underneath it, there is also a keyed lever that can be locked from the inside with a small button. So it feels that the door has double security. I am thinking about adding smart locks to my setup. One of the reasons is to get rid of the keys. So my question is, what is the recommended setup then for the lever? I mean I don't want to add 2 keypads, it would be weird. I think some people just replace the keyed lever by a lever without key or so, but then isn't the security reduced in half? I would really appreciate it if you could please let me know what you think, what would be the recommended setup? What do people do when they have 2 keys? Thanks.
Most of our customers just use an electronic deadbolt and leave the bottom unlocked, unless they are gone for ab extended period of time or inside the home.
No sir, You can change the cylinder of the schlage encode to any other keyway , like plug in a GMS cylinder for kwikset, just use the original tail piece. I am a locksmith and I did that multiple times.
You are correct. It had been corrected on the video description as an error.
What is the battery life? I bought the Kwikset Aura and was going to link it to the Smart Things Samsung home but I can't find one... security issue made them give up I guess. I thought the Bluetooth one was the best so far as battery life.
Would love to see lock recommendations for security doors
If you want the best in security locks, you can't buy off the shelf.
I currently have my alarm system hooked to one of my locks through z wave and would like to hear your recommendation for a new z wave lock for my front door. I’m looking for something that isn’t too expensive and iron black in color to match my steel door. Thank you Sir
To be honest, I always stayed away from Zwave and Zigbee, so I don't have enough experience with them to say which of the locks supporting them are done well.
But, I can say that the Yale Assure lock I love as a wifi version, does come with a Zwave version.

I just moved in to a home on the water. All the exterior doors have glass panes. My deadbolts are keyed on both sides. My question is, can this lock or any lock be programmed to only unlock with a code? I don’t want a window broken and the back of the lock accessed by turning the deadbolt knob. Thank you for the great video
Every residential code lock I am aware of takes a thumb turn on the inside. There are commercial products, but they are expensive and would look pretty odd on a residential door.
amzn.to/37S8jIX
My Schlage has been reliable. My Assure York eats batteries (one a month). The Schlage batteries last most of the year.
Can you do a review on the level smart lock? Since it says it uses your existing deadbolt, I wonder how it compares on security grade level. N no keypad.
I'll look into it!
Hey, you mentioned that you can switch out the keyway on the Yale, and I've found the Kwikset keyway online... but I called a few local locksmiths and they all have no clue what I'm talking about. Any advice in talking to them about this?
Just tell them you want to replace the cylinder that came with the lock with one from Schlage, Kwikset, Mul-t-lock or whichever keyway you want. If they don't know what they're doing, we sell them with the cylinder of your choice on our website . www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-safes-online/yale-touch-screen-bluetooth-deadbolt-yrg426.html and send us a photo of your house key, and we should be able to ship it so that your house key will work the lock we send (this depends though on how correct your current house key is cut so I can't guarantee it).
Does anyone know if there is ANY brand of smart lock that will work with an existing 5" backset install?
just try to use the current 5" backset deadbolt , if they funtion the same , then no problem
What about eufy Security Video Smart Lock S330, 3-in-1 ? Your thoughts? Thanks
Thank you for making this wonderful review. I will soon move in a new flat installed with a smart lock. The landlord said I can change the code and use the key to open the door in case I have forgotten the new code. I was wondering if the former tenant or anyone has a copy of the key, they can get into my flat easily even if I have set a new security code. Am I right?
Your are correct. Have the lock rekeyed at a locksmith shop. 👍
Can you recommend a high security cylinder to replace the Yale cylinder that comes with the deadbolt? Does it have to be yale or are other cylinders compatible?
You'll want a locksmith to assist you with the install of the cylinder into the lock.
Because it's not a high security lock, the cylinder will only get you so far. We recommend an entry level high security cylinder for the bump, pick and key duplication protection.
On our website we sell them with the Marks high security cylinder, and install them prior to shipping.

Great comparison Ric! Would you know if that Yale Yale can be installed on a pedestrian gate where both sides of the door lock are exposed to elements?
Sorry. No. Check out our article on Gate Smart Locks.
www.acmelocksmith.com/blog/gate-smart-locks/
I have three of the Yale Assure keyless locks and it's great, but the setup portion of the app and the instructions, both written and built-in voice instructions are horrible, even currently, as I just installed my last two locks just a few weeks ago. Yale needs to fix this issue if they want to mitigate returns.
Great feedback. Thanks. 👍
2.4ghz wifi is not a problem, these products do not transmit /receive a lot of data. 2.4ghz has better range so with a lock far from a router it will work better
I have Schlage keys but I like the Kwikset smart lock. Can I put the Schlage cylinder in the Kwikset smart lock?
I like your videos man. Keep it up!
Unfortunately not. Kwikset and Schlage cylinders are not interchangeable.
Are there any double cylinder deadbolt smart locks? Or can I rig something. I don’t want a lever on the inside. Want this for outside gate .
There are no double cylinder smart locks that I am aware of. Plus, none that are weatherproof for an outside gate because they are designed for houses where half the lock is on the inside of the home. Best you could do would be a double sided mechanical code lock, our favorites is by Lockey.

Assure vs assure 2 compared would be cool
I am looking to stock up in residential Schlage locks. I am a new locksmith. Any recommendations for a supplier.
Hey Robert, hope you can help me with a small dilemma. I live in a tiny condominium community where we a shared front gate. The gate has access to the other side of the key assembly on the other side of the door. What smart can you recommend that can not be opened from the inside with keys or smart keys?
You'd have to go with a commercial double sided electronic lock or mechanical keyless lock.
www.acmelocksmith.com/gate-smart-locks/
What do you think of the Yale Assure Lock SL (YRD256) without an outside key? Compared to these other locks for security.
We love Yale Assure likes. I prefer a key override, just in case it every fails, if it goes on a door that is the only door to the house (like a condo or apartment). It's more secure without the override key.
Hello I love 💕 your video. Can make physical keys copies on the Yale ?
Yes, they can be copied. If you want a copy restricted key, go with the high security option.
www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-safes-online/yale-touch-screen-bluetooth-deadbolt-yrg426.html
Is there a smart lock version of the Kwikset you’d recommend that does not have a keypad? I like all the other features, but don’t need / want the buttons. Thank you
Kwikset makes a Halo fingerprint version that does not have a keypad, and also has a "touch" based one which I believe is called the Kevo.
Do I want the Yale Assure or the Yale Assure 2? Your site does not list the Assure 2 yet.
Funny you should ask that. I just got my hands on a Yale 2 and will be reviewing soon. The main difference that I am aware of, out of the box, is that the Yale 2 eliminates the plug in wifi connector piece and has it integrated into the smart module.
Have you had a chance to review the Lockly? I'd like to see how it compares to the Yale lock in this video.
We've never installed one so I cannot honestly say. However, two things to note. I know that rekeying this lock to your house key will void the warranty. That makes me pretty skeptical about the overall quality of the lock if something so common voids the warranty. I couldn't believe it so I confirmed this is true with their online customer support. They call it an unauthorized modification. Secondly, I'm always very skeptical of fingerprint technology put into such cheaply made products. Even on $1000+ safes, we've only ever found one fingerprint technology that seemed to work correctly. The issue is you get false positives and negatives. A false positive is when someone not enrolled comes up and the lock lets them in. False negative is when someone enrolled can't get in. Not saying that's a problem here, I've never used the lock, but I've seen it over and over and over again on other inexpensive biometric locks.
Cute dog picture
I've been searching for an all-inclusive solution - and yet you missed out on including the LOCKLY Vision Deadbolt with Video Doorbell Edition Smart Lock PGD798VB. It has integrated camera & voice to your cellphone even when you are away from the home. It is more expensive than these. Please consider including in the next review.
which one is the one upgraded, connect with August and allow 250 code? it is not clear on your website. Could not find it. Please help. thanks.
Just select the upgrade to August connect option.
www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-safes-online/yale-touch-screen-bluetooth-deadbolt-yrg426.html
if i purchase more than one of the slage will I be able to use the same key for both? is it as easy to rekey as the kwikset?
Yes, absolutely, but you will need to rekey the cylinder. A locksmith shop can do it for you for right around $10. It's not like the Kwikset Smart Key.
I really wish I could hear your thoughts on the August smart lock pro +connect 3rd generation and the new August WIFI smart lock
We don't install the August locks. I never liked them because of their appearance. I believe the August WiFi technology is the same technology that is in the Yale now (Yale bought August). We install many of those with positive feedback on the technology.
Brahny Germosen a lot of people have been having issues with the august wifi lock it loses connectivity to wifi very often and some people have been locked out of their homes.
Hello,
Do you know the model number for that Yale Assure Lock?
We sell them on our website.
www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-safes-online/yale-touch-screen-bluetooth-deadbolt-yrg426.html
There are several part numbers. They have several locks that have a base part number and can be upgraded with the Connect by August features and then they have them with part numbers with the Connect by August features already included.
What smart lock recommendation do you have for commercial use?
Really depends on the door. There are several commercial locks. They're much more robust, much more expensive, which one you can use depends on the door.
If we put aside the Wifi / "smart" features (cause I don't really care about them), how does the Schlage compare to the EMTek Emtouch or Emtek Empowered ?
I have a emtek emtouch deadbolt on my front door that I want to replace cause it's doing funky things (sometimes takes 3-4 tries to unlock the door with code). I'm tempted to try a different brand (Schlage encode) but not sure about the quality of the product or how it compares to similar Emtek products. Any advice?
I'm not a fan of the Emtek part either. Check out our detailed review of the Schlage Encode in UA-cam.
You probably shouldn't buy a "smart lock" then and start shopping for keyless "non-smart" locks.
@@MandoDaiOu yeah... Well... Kinda hard to find info on non-smart keyless door locks. And that's why I was asking him. Do you have any helpful information to share or..?
Do you know if the app (Yale or other brands) can handle multiple smart locks in the same house?
Yes, they all can. You can even support multiple locks at multiple locations. The only difference is some of them will let you classify them (house 1, house 2) and some of them won't.
Would love to hear your thoughts on Lockly.
I haven't gotten my hands on one yet, but I know of at least one locksmith that really likes them. Review will be coming soon. Be sure to subscribe so you can get updates when it's released.
Hi! I bought the latest smart lock from schlage at home depot and cannot enter the password on the APP and the smart lock screen at the same time, what I mean is that if you use the mobile APP, you cannot enter the password on the smart lock screen to control schlage. I called I asked their company on the phone and they told it was impossible, do you know which kind of smart lock will work?Thank!
I'm confused. In my detailed schlage video I demo that.
The Assure door sense only for the wifi and not the Bluetooth model.
You showed a picture of an Arrow electronic deadbolt when talking about the Yale.
I know they’re both Assa Abloy, are they pretty much the same lock?
Yes they are the same lock, it's all branded under Yale now.
I have so much problems with schlage locks especially the one that you turn it manually after enter the code. it seem the lock is not engage, or slip and just can't open it
Call their customer support. May still be under warranty.
Lockpickinglawyer would love to have a word with you. He can pick any of this lock very easily.
Wait until you hear about glass windows....
Check out our video, Can All Locks be Picked...we have one lock shown on there guaranteed to stop lock picking...ua-cam.com/video/5228bTmrLCk/v-deo.html
I purchased the Yale Assure lock alone.
I called Yale notified me that it does not work with the ring doorbell app alone. It only works with the ring security system.
Is there a workaround so that way I don’t have to buy the whole ring security system. Or should I just except the loss of money on this purchase and get the schlage unit
Unfortunately, I've never integrated to the Ring systems.
@@LocksmithRecommended
The Schlage lock has all electronic hardware to work with ring doorbell alone. Just need to use an extra free app to connect with ring doorbell app.
Yale assure needs an extra piece of hardware $50. But only with ring Home security system. Unfortunately I’m the idiot who didn’t do research before purchase. LOL.
Thank you for your response
@@ernestgiboo9006 Great information that is helpful to know!
@@ernestgiboo9006 the schlage encode is the only one that works with ring app. This was useful: support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027029411-Key-by-Amazon-Works-With-Ring-
I have a ring doorbell and Im thinking of which smart lock to purchase. I understand the schlage is incorporated into the ring app so you can press unlock right from the camera view in the ring app. I suppose i see the benefit of it, but what Im not understanding is: if someone rang my doorbell and i had a different smart lock (one that isnt compatible with ring) after the ring app opens with the camera view ..... why not just say "alexa, open the front door"?? seems to me that an alexa compatible smartlock would be just as good even if you do not have the unlock button on the ring app. I could be wrong though.
I may have missed it but in the Yale review you didn't show the app and how it's used like you did for the Others.
I'm sorry about that, I filmed the Yale review before I really knew what I was doing with the videos. 🤷🏼♂️
Do any of of these locks have a code for both sides? I have security gates and doors that have windows. so with the gates a person could reach over or through and turn a thumb lock and after busting the window next to the door or on the door can do the same thing. I haven't been able to find anything myself so I am hoping you have and idea or know of a product that had the code pad on both sides.
No smart lock for residential applications does and they are also not waterproof on both sides of the lock since one side is designed to be inside the home. You will need a mechanical lock (two sided) or a commercial grade lock.
Two videos for you.

@@LocksmithRecommended Thank you this has been helpful. I have been searching for the wrong product.
So is there a monthly fee for WiFi with the Schlage?
Nope. It uses your home's wifi.
Question: The price of the YALE is $129. The cheapest of the 3 shown. So, if I get the Yale does that price include the ability to lock & unlock remotely via my cell? Or do I have to buy other add ons? Thanks in advance.
There is a base Yale. It's basically an electronic lock with auto relock. Then you add the CBA module and that gives you the smart lock (i.e. phone) features. One of the benefits of this lock is that you can upgrade it later without paying for it all at once.
Here's the CBA add on from Amazon. amzn.to/3ijpKGX
@@LocksmithRecommended thanks for the info! I was debating between the Yale and the Keikset Halo. The Halo is $229 but i believe it comes with the wifi / remote ability to control via cell phone
Can a smart lock be set up by my caretaker at my rental and have me be enabled to control and set passcodes on the lock? Even if I am in a different location when the install and programing are done.
The only gotcha is the initial setup phone must be on the network and that's the phone that the account and everything would be set up in. Caretaker would then have to give share with you access of the lock so you can control it. Different manufacturers have different capability about what someone else can do from another phone. You're going to have to dive down into a manufacture's customer support for that one.
Purchase the Kwikset HALO but is unable to download the app in Jamaica. Says App is unavailable
I wasn't aware they had country restrictions.
The best one I found in 2020 was the U-Bolt Pro Bluetooth Enabled Fingerprint and Keypad Smart Deadbolt lock ($199 from that jungle place). App works great, also unlocks via google assistant, key code, fingerprint set (2 sets per user), and has a physical key if necessary. In addition to auto-lock and auto-unlock, it was easy to install too! Most of the locks in this video do NOT work with google assistant...and for me, that was a must have feature!
Hey, where are your reviews of the new locks with fingerprint readers?
I've done three. This was my favorite of them. ua-cam.com/video/-cqS4Fw96oQ/v-deo.html
wouldn't 2.4 ghz make it so you can deauth the lock?
You also forgot to mention that the Schlage Encode is also Fire Rated!
Also I am pretty sure that UsCan offers replacement cylinders for the Schlage lock in different key ways .
It would behoof you to do some more research before making a statement about no other available
key ways for those locks.
I respectfully disagree. If the Encode is fire rated, I'm not aware of it, and either is Schlage. The parts spec sheet, their website, and their packaging make no mention of it or an upgrade for it (which you can get in the Yale).
ACME Locksmith I am a Schlage representative and you are 100% incorrect.

See page 10
@@Undermeman That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing. You would think Schlage would put THAT on the box, and on the website, and list it as a feature under the product description / features on the website, like Yale and Kwikset do. I was not aware because their is no information other than the company price book that you graciously forwarded that would tell someone it is fire rated.
Why doesn't the Yale box picture not look like the lock in the video inset during the Yale review?
Lock in the inset is the lock on my front door, it's the previous styling.
Any luck system that locks a deadbolt and knob lock with one keypad?
Off the top of my head, nothing for the residential market.
Good evening Sir. Are they weather resistant?
Yes they are! But only on the exterior side. They can't be used outside, like on a gate, because the interior side is not.
I appreciate the review. However none of these deadbolts is suitable when you have a glass front door and back door. Smash the glass and turn the knob on the inside and you are in. Where and the ones that are keyed on both sides for security?
Yep. They don't make them. In fact, most new home's won't allow a regular double sided deadbolt either. It's against the new fire code.
@@LocksmithRecommended especially if you're a landlord looking to rent. I'm in Illinois and double keyed deadbolts are an immediate disqualification for an occupancy permit.
@@JoshDisher Good to know! Thanks!
Can all 3 be rekeyed or only Schlage?
They can all be rekeyed to their respective keyway. Kwikset to Kwikset, Schlage to Schlage, Yale to Yale. In addition the Yale can have another cylinder put in it for another keyway, and I've since learned that the Schlage can have another cylinder put in it as well.
Please show if they can be lock picked and how fast
They are the same cylinders they put into their deadbolts. No better no worse. Although the Yale, you can stick a high security cylinder in.
Where is the link to learn about "grades"?

Can the Yale be used on a commercial building?
It can, but it's not commercial grade so how well it holds up would have to be determined Plus, the store has to be a regular door, not glass storefront door. For commercial grade, we recommend these www.acmelocksmith.com/blog/access-control-system-design/#stand-alone-keyless-locks .
Why don’t they just make keypads number dynamic instead of set 123.... it will easily address the fingerprint issue
Great idea!
I bought the kwikset and in less than six months I had to call the company for a replacement motor. Not a good sign.
Love the look of the Kwikset lock but the app is so crappy. Poor software design. Batteries also don’t last very long.
only problem is with Schlage i was able to pick my non electronic lock in 10 seconds after purchasing a lock pick kit
What about security option better than Schlager and Weiser?
You can drop a high security cylinder into the Yale product, but I'm not aware of any high security manufactures making smart locks for residential use.
@@LocksmithRecommended Multi Lock MT5+ ENTR series is keyless high security residential option.
@@dcentral Great lock!
It was posted 2 years ago but it's says best of 2022? Is this some back to the future kind of thing? 😅
From the video description.
"Originally shot in 2019, nothing has changed. This video still holds true. We highlight some of the common smart lock features and their main differences for the three most popular smart locks of 2022. And our favorite from 2019 remains our favorite smart lock in 2022."
But we are very excited! Yale, our favorite, has just released a new version of their product. Stay tuned!
Has Schlage updated their lock to prevent use of Bump Keys?
Bump keys are always a possibility in all standard cylinders. They do now come with anti-bump, anti-pick pins, but that only makes it a bit more difficult to do. Certainly not impossible. With the Yale lock, you can upgrade it to a high security cylinder.
"Best Smart Locks of" **
**Video uploaded in 2020**
Yep. How often do you think they come out with new smart locks? 🤣 These are still the top three smart locks on the market and we still recommend the Yale.
People going to have a hard time to put on halo lock. Lol I don't know why it set up like that. I gave up on step 4. When you screw the screws in, the bolt can't move back and forth.
… Actually 2.4GHz wifi is exactly what you want for something like a smart lock. 5GHz has terrible range in most situations and doesn’t penetrate walls very well when compared to 2.4GHz… 5GHz is meant for for apartment buildings / shared living situations where there are a lot of existing 2.4GHz wifi signals and wireless devices (home phone handsets etc) competing for signal bandwidth and constantly interfering with each others’ radio traffic.. 5GHz is also great for short-throw high speed data transfer BUT only when your device is in the same room / within direct visual line of sight / close proximity of the wifi base station, if you don’t have a physical ethernet cable attached to your router, 5GHz is the next best thing.. but be aware that soon as you put a wall or any real distance in between yourself and the wifi source it starts to become very unreliable and the high-speed benefits are lost.
Most people don’t keep their wifi router in the front hallway of their house, so 5GHz wifi would result in a lot of problems with something like a smart lock. Its not a device that requires high bandwidth signal either (unless you plan on downloading torrents or routing large amounts of data through your door knob 😂)
Good to know!
Can the Yale lock be keyed to a master lock?
Master lock doesn't make door hardware that uses it's own master lock keyway. They use kw1 or sc1.
How do feel about lockly
Unfortunately we don't sell it so I've never used it.
Thank you
I need a smart lock for an outdoor fencing door that has exposure to rain both front and back of the door. Is there a smart lock that has strong weather proof capacity to do that job?
As of yet, none of the major lock manufactures offer smart locks that are weather prove on both sides since they're meant to be installed on doors. You can go with a mechanical lock for code access though.
You say they don't need a hub, but didn't Connect by August still require that small white Bridge to get plugged in nearby the door?
True but that little bridge is plug in play. Really, just plug it in and you're done. What I meant to convey is that it does not require a third party hub, that has to be setup independently and connected to independently (like zwave and zigbee). Thanks for bringing up that oversight on my part. 👍
I have a Schlage locks on my home. Can the Yale lock be rekeyed you Schlage?
Yes. Just order with the Schlage keyway. www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-safes-online/yale-touch-screen-bluetooth-deadbolt-yrg426.html
