The Assure Lock SL is a very minimalist deadbolt: its outward-facing part is a small, simple control panel with a touchpad and nothing else. It is available in four finishes: black, brass, bronze and matte nickel. Yale also offers a few variations of the Assure lock: The Yale Assure Keypad Door Lock swaps out the touchscreen for a keypad; and the Yale Assure Lever is a lever lock that features either a touchscreen or a keypad with a physical key slot.
DoorSense is a handy feature that uses a small magnet attached to (or embedded in) the door frame to detect when the deadbolt has been pushed into the door and locked. That means Assure can detect when someone has tripped the lock but the door is open.
The August lock has a new feature that allows you to remotely trigger the lock to confirm that it is closed. This feature can store up to 250 key codes on the lock’s own, which should be enough for most people. These key codes can be in the form of keys stored in the app or as just key codes. ..
The Yale Assure SL keypad lock has two terminals on the bottom that you can use to power it up for a few minutes so you can get into your home. It is also compatible with August’s smart-home compatibilities, so you can connect it to August’s video doorbells and other devices.
