Yale Assure Lock 2 Matte Black
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Yale Matte Black Keyed Deadbolt Smart Lock with Google Matter is a future-proof smart lock featuring Matter over Thread technology for cross-platform integration. It offers reliable keyless entry and Grade 2 security but requires a compatible hub for remote access. It is ideal for multi-platform smart homes seeking broad compatibility without ecosystem lock-in.
The Yale Assure SL is a versatile smart deadbolt featuring built-in Wi-Fi and a touchscreen keypad, ideal for retrofitting standard doors. Its main drawback is the reliance on disposable AA batteries which require frequent replacement. It is best suited for homeowners who want immediate remote access without purchasing additional connectivity hubs.
