FAQs
What is Apple Home Key and how does it work?
Apple Home Key allows you to use your compatible iPhone or Apple Watch to lock and unlock your Yale Assure Lock 2 Plus with a simple tap, similar to how you use Apple Pay. Your encrypted key is stored securely in your Apple Wallet.
Can I still use a physical key with this lock?
The Yale Assure Lock 2 Plus is designed for key-free access. It does not use a traditional key cylinder.
How do I grant access to guests remotely?
You can send temporary or permanent entry codes to guests directly from the Yale Access app. These codes can be customized for specific times or dates.
What happens if my Wi-Fi goes down?
You can still operate the lock using your smartphone via Bluetooth when you are within range. If you have set up Apple Home Key, that functionality will continue to work without an internet connection.
How long do the batteries typically last?
With normal usage, the batteries (4x AA) are designed to last approximately one year. The Yale Access app will provide low battery warnings.
What are the requirements for using Apple Home Key?
You need an iPhone XS or later running iOS 15 or later, or an Apple Watch Series 4 or later running watchOS 8 or later.
Is the lock weather-resistant?
The exterior portion of the lock is designed to withstand typical outdoor weather conditions, but it is recommended to check the specific IP rating for detailed environmental resistance.
