Schlage Arrive
Score: 92/100Rankings
The Yale Assure Lock 2 is a high-end smart deadbolt offering Commercial Grade 2 security with extensive smart home integration and fingerprint access. Its main trade-off is the need for a separate Wi-Fi module to unlock remote features, which adds to the initial cost and complexity. It is best suited for tech-savvy homeowners who want centralized control and guest management capabilities.
The Schlage Arrive Smart WiFi Deadbolt is Schlage's first push-button keypad deadbolt featuring built-in WiFi connectivity, eliminating the need for a separate smart home hub. It allows for keyless entry via customizable codes, remote management through the Schlage Home app, and voice control integration with major assistants. It maintains functionality during power or WiFi outages through battery backup.
