Overview

A backlit touchscreen keypad replaces the keyway on the Yale Assure Lock SL, so the deadbolt throws when a PIN is entered and locks with a tap on any button. A Z-Wave Plus module links it to a smart home or alarm hub for remote control.

Going fully key free is the defining choice: there is no cylinder to defeat and no key to copy, and an external battery terminal handles dead batteries. Smart features depend entirely on a compatible Z-Wave hub, since no Yale app works with this model.

Who it's for

Households with a Z-Wave alarm or hub get remote locking, shared codes and access alerts through the existing system. Renters or anyone wanting a backup key should consider a keyed model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No keyway to defeat or keys to copy
  • Auto relock option
  • Fits existing deadbolt holes
  • Battery terminal prevents lockout
Cons
  • Hub sold separately
  • No physical key override
  • No Yale app for this model

Performance notes

Daily reliability rests on the battery pack and the touchscreen: the AA cells run the motorized bolt, and when they die the external battery terminal powers the lock long enough to enter a code. Remote features behave according to the Z-Wave controller, so what you can do varies with the hub.

Frequently asked questions
