Yale Assure Lever Oil Rubbed Bronze
Score: 84/100
Ultraloq Latch 5
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Yale Assure Lever (YRL226-WF1-0BP) is a Wi-Fi-enabled smart lever lock with touchscreen keypad, offering keyless entry, remote access, and voice assistant integration. Its main limitation is the requirement for a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and compatibility only with single-hole doors. It is best suited for homeowners wanting smart home integration for secondary doors without existing deadbolts.
The ULTRALOQ Latch 5 is a high-security smart lever lock with ANSI Grade 1 durability and hub-free WiFi 6 connectivity. Its main trade-off is the unspecified battery life and potential fingerprint sensitivity to environmental factors. It is best suited for renters and landlords seeking robust remote access and smart home integration.
