Score: 85/100Lockstate RemoteLock
Score: 68/100Rankings

The Yale Assure Lock Touchscreen with Wi-Fi is a Grade 2 ANSI/BHMA smart lever lock featuring built-in Wi-Fi, fingerprint recognition, and touchscreen access. Its main trade-off is the dependency on a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and the mandatory installation of a DoorSense sensor for full remote features. It is best suited for tech-savvy homeowners seeking keyless entry without subscriptions and multi-user homes needing extensive code management.
The LockState KeyInCode 3500 Series is a WiFi-enabled residential smart lever lock designed for rental properties with cloud-based management. Its main trade-off is higher battery drain due to WiFi connectivity and a lack of specific weatherproofing ratings. It is best suited for property managers and Airbnb hosts needing remote code generation for residential doors.

Professional reviewers and editors praise the Yale Assure Lock for its intuitive touchscreen, reliable fingerprint recognition, and strong app features like activity logs and user sharing. The motorized thumbturn and easy integration with HomeKit, Google, and Alexa are highlighted as key strengths. Editors note the Grade 2 durability and Auto-Unlock convenience but stress the limitations of the Wi-Fi range, which is optimal only within 15-30 feet.
Everyday users commonly praise the fast fingerprint and PIN access, as well as the ease of sharing codes with family and guests. The reliable app notifications and simple setup are frequently mentioned positives. Recurring complaints include battery drain triggered by frequent tamper alerts or wrong codes, Wi-Fi dropouts beyond the optimal range, and occasional app glitches that require manual DoorSense alignment.
Professional resources position the KeyInCode 3500 Series as a practical choice for multifamily and rental properties due to its WiFi remote control and RemoteLock integration.
RemoteLock materials imply general satisfaction in rental scenarios for code-based access but highlight potential issues like battery drain in WiFi models.
