Yale Assure Keyed Lever Smart Deadlatch with Yale Home Module - Matt Black
The Yale Assure Keyed Lever replaces an existing lever or knob on a single-bore door with a touchscreen keypad, app control and a mechanical key override. It is a deadlatch, not a deadbolt, so it suits doors prepared with one 54mm bore hole and no separate deadbolt cut-out - side entry doors, garage entry doors, basement doors, home offices, granny flats and internal apartment doors.
The Yale Home Module is included in the box. Once fitted, the lock joins the Yale Home ecosystem: lock and unlock from your phone over Bluetooth, share access with family and trades, watch a 24/7 activity trail, and use Auto-Unlock so the door releases as you walk up to it. Apple HomeKit works at the lock itself with no extra hardware. Adding the optional Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 extends control to anywhere in the world and brings in Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings.
Code capacity scales with the module. On its own the keypad holds 25 user codes; with the Yale Home Module installed and the lock set up in the app that rises to up to 250. The C4 keyway is rekeyable and can be keyed alike to the rest of a Yale or Lockwood C4 suite, so one mechanical key can still open every door on the property.
Available in Matt Black and Satin Chrome. This listing is the Matt Black finish.

Key Features
- Yale Home Module included - the Bluetooth module that unlocks app control, Auto-Unlock, Auto-Lock, DoorSense door position sensing and the 24/7 activity trail ships in the box, not as an extra purchase.
- Touchscreen PIN keypad - 4 to 8 digit codes, entered on a backlit touchscreen that wakes with a tap. How PIN access compares to other credentials
- Auto-Unlock on approach - the door releases as you arrive and relocks once it closes, using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS through the Yale Home app.
- Apple HomeKit at the lock - HomeKit pairs directly to the Yale Home Module over Bluetooth. No bridge, no hub, no subscription for local Siri control.
- Mechanical key override - a genuine keyed cylinder in the exterior lever, on the rekeyable C4 keyway. Why key override matters
- Single-bore retrofit - fits a standard 54mm timber bore hole with an adjustable 60/70mm backset deadlatch, so most existing lever and knob sets swap straight over with a screwdriver.
- Free egress from inside - the interior lever always retracts the latch, locked or not. Nobody is ever trapped inside by the lock.
- Genuine tamper alarm - forcibly pulling the keypad off the door disconnects the internal cable and sounds the alarm, with an app notification to match.
- Keyed alike ready - the C4 cylinder can be rekeyed into an existing C4 suite by a locksmith.
- Home automation ready - the module bay also accepts the optional Yale Zigbee Network Module for Zigbee alarm and automation panels. Do you need a network module?

Battery, Power & Emergency Access
The Assure Keyed Lever runs on 4 x AA alkaline batteries, supplied in the box, sitting in the interior escutcheon behind a keyed battery cover. Expect roughly a year of normal residential use. The lock warns you in the app and audibly well before it stops.
There are two independent backups if the batteries do go flat: 9V terminals beneath the touchscreen take a standard 9V block to power the keypad long enough to enter a code, and the mechanical key opens the door regardless of battery state. That second point is the reason to choose the Keyed Lever over the keyless models in the Assure range.
The most common cause of short battery life is not the batteries
A misaligned door or a latch binding in the strike makes the motor work far harder on every cycle. If the batteries are lasting months rather than a year, check door alignment and strike fit first. Door misalignment guide and the realities of door alignment.

Yale Home App & Smart Home
The included Yale Home Module connects the lock to the Yale Home app, free on iOS and Android. Over Bluetooth, at the door, you get lock and unlock from the phone, guest invitations with Always, Recurring or Temporary schedules, Owner and Guest access levels, the 24/7 activity trail, DoorSense door position, Auto-Lock on a timer and Auto-Unlock on approach.
Apple HomeKit pairs directly to the module - scan the eight-digit HomeKit code supplied with the module and Siri can operate the lock locally with no additional hardware.
Add the optional Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 and the same lock becomes reachable from anywhere in the world, with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings integration, remote code changes and live smart alerts. The Hub 2 runs on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only and supports up to 16 Bluetooth Yale devices. Gateway placement guidance
Set the lock up in the app before you create any codes
Codes programmed on the keypad before the lock is paired to the Yale Home app stop working once pairing completes, and they never appear in the activity history. Create the master code at installation, then add every user code from the app. More on the Yale Home platform

Security Features
Tamper Alarm
Wrenching the exterior keypad off the door disconnects the ribbon cable that links it to the interior lock. That disconnection sounds the alarm and pushes a notification through the Yale Home app. It keeps sounding until the batteries are pulled or the cable is reconnected. This is genuine tamper hardware, not a motion sensor.

This is genuine tamper hardware, not a motion sensor.
Lockout Mode
The master code holder can put the keypad into Lockout Mode, which refuses every user code until it is switched off again. Useful when a rental changes hands or a code has been shared too widely.

Deadlocking Latch
The latch carries a deadlocking pin, so it cannot be slipped with a card once the door is closed against the strike. Deadlatch versus deadbolt explained.

Free Egress
The interior lever always retracts the latch, whatever state the lock is in. The exterior lever still rotates when the door is locked, but the latch will not follow until a valid code, key or app command releases it - so a would-be intruder cannot tell by feel whether the lock is engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my door?
If your door is timber, between 35mm and 45mm thick, has a single 54mm bore hole with a 60mm or 70mm backset and no separate deadbolt hole, yes. That is the standard Australian lever set preparation. If there is a second hole above for a deadbolt, you want an Assure Lock Keyed deadbolt instead. Door preparation guide

Do I need Wi-Fi or a gateway to use it?
No. Everything at the door works over Bluetooth with the included Yale Home Module - codes, app unlock, Auto-Unlock, activity trail, Apple HomeKit. You only need the Connect Plus Hub 2 if you want to control the lock while you are away from home or use Alexa, Google Home or SmartThings.

How many PIN codes can it hold?
25 on the lock keypad alone. With the included Yale Home Module fitted and the lock added to the Yale Home app, capacity rises to 250. Codes are 4 to 8 digits and each user gets their own, so the activity trail tells you who came and went.

What happens if the batteries die while I am out?
Two options. Touch a 9V battery to the terminals under the touchscreen to wake the keypad and enter your code, or simply use the mechanical key. The Assure Keyed Lever keeps a real keyed cylinder for exactly this reason. What to do when a smart lock battery dies

Can I fit it to a gate or an exposed door?
No. Yale does not weather rate this lock, and it is explicitly not built for gates or any application where the interior side is exposed to the weather day and night. Salt air on the Gold Coast will shorten its life considerably in that situation. Yale in coastal installations

Additional Information
The C4 keyway is worth more than it looks
C4 is the standard Australian residential profile used across Yale and Lockwood. A locksmith can rekey this cylinder into your existing house suite, so the one key that opens your front deadbolt also opens this lever - and the keypad handles day-to-day entry.

Handing is set electronically, not mechanically
You do not flip a cam or reverse a latch. Install the lock, set the master code, and the lock learns door direction at first operation. If you later move it to another door, re-hand it by entering the master code, the gear key, 3, gear, 5, gear. Door handing explained

Deadlatch, not deadbolt - and that matters for insurance
Some Queensland strata and insurance requirements specify a deadbolt on the primary entry door. This is a latch. It is an excellent secondary or side-entry lock and a poor sole front-door lock where a deadbolt is mandated. Why deadbolts are specified

Everything we get asked about the Assure Keyed Lever, grouped by topic. For broader questions see the Smart Lock FAQ (Chapter 13) and the Smart Lock Buyer's Guide.
Door Fit & Compatibility
What door preparation does the Assure Keyed Lever need?
A single 54mm cross bore through the door face, a 25.4mm edge bore for the latch, a 60mm or 70mm backset and a door leaf 35mm to 45mm thick. That is standard Australian lever set prep. No deadbolt hole is required or used. Full door preparation guide.

My door already has a lever and a separate deadbolt. Can I still use this?
You can fit the Assure Keyed Lever in the lower lever hole and leave the deadbolt where it is, but you would then be operating two locks. Most people in that situation put an Assure Lock Keyed deadbolt in the upper hole instead, so the smart lock is the one that secures the door.

Will it fit an aluminium, screen or sliding door?
No. This is a timber door lock. Aluminium narrow-stile and screen doors need a different format entirely - see the Yale Unity Slim for aluminium hinged doors and the Yale Unity Security Screen Door Lock for security screens. Door type compatibility matrix.

How do I know whether my backset is 60mm or 70mm?
Measure from the edge of the door to the centre of the bore hole. 60mm is the common Australian residential figure; 70mm turns up on wider stiles and older doors. The supplied latch adjusts between the two, so you do not need to decide before ordering. How to measure a backset.

Can it go on a fire door?
No. Yale publishes no AS1905.1 fire test data for the Assure range. If you need a fire-rated smart lock, Chapter 05 lists the products that are actually certified, and drilling an apartment fire door carries an asbestos risk worth understanding first.

Codes & Access
How many user codes can I have?
25 stored on the lock itself. Once the included Yale Home Module is installed and the lock is set up in the Yale Home app, capacity increases to 250. Codes are 4 to 8 digits.

What is the master code and how do I set it?
The master code is the programming code, not an everyday entry code. On first power-up press the gear key, press 1, press the gear key, enter a 4 to 8 digit code, then the gear key again. Yale recommends 6 or more digits, and recommends you create a separate everyday code rather than using the master code at the door.

I created codes on the keypad and now they do not work. Why?
Codes created from the lock's own programming menu before the lock was paired to the Yale Home app are wiped by the pairing process. Recreate them in the app. Only app-created codes appear in the activity history, which is why we recommend doing all code management in the app from day one.

My new code will not register.
Codes must be 4 to 8 digits, must be unique to that user, and must be entered within about 5 seconds of the touchscreen waking. The gear and check keys cannot form part of a code. If nothing registers at all, the lock may be in Lockout Mode - only the master code holder can turn that off.

What is Lockout Mode?
A master-code-only setting that disables every user code until it is switched back off. Handy when a tenancy ends, a code has circulated too far, or the property is empty for a while.

What does the Connect Plus Hub 2 add?
Worldwide remote lock and unlock, remote code management, live smart alerts and the Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings integrations. One Hub 2 supports up to 16 Bluetooth Yale devices, so it covers a whole house. What a gateway actually does.

Does the Hub 2 need 5GHz Wi-Fi?
No - and it will not work on it. The Hub 2 is 2.4GHz only (802.11b/g/n). Your phone needs to be on the 2.4GHz network during setup, after which you can put the phone back on 5GHz. Dual-band routers that merge both bands under one name are the single most common cause of failed setup. Band steering and how to work around it.

What happens if the internet drops out?
Bluetooth control at the door keeps working normally, as do codes and the key. Only remote access and voice assistants stop until the connection returns, at which point the Hub 2 reconnects on its own. More on gateway behaviour during outages.

Does Apple HomeKit need the Hub 2?
Not for local control. HomeKit pairs straight to the Yale Home Module over Bluetooth using the eight-digit code supplied with the module. For Siri to work while you are away from home you need an Apple home hub - an Apple TV or HomePod - within Bluetooth range of the lock.

How does Auto-Unlock decide when to open the door?
The app tracks whether you are in Home or Away mode using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS. You enter Away mode once you travel roughly 200 metres from the lock. On return, when your phone gets within a few metres and sees the lock over Bluetooth, the door unlocks. It will not fire if you never actually left the neighbourhood.

Can guests have limited access?
Yes. Yale Home has two access levels, Owner and Guest, and three schedules - Always, Recurring and Temporary. A cleaner can have Tuesday mornings only; a tradesperson can have one afternoon. Guests cannot use Auto-Unlock, change settings or see the guest list.

Power & Batteries
What batteries and how long do they last?
4 x AA alkaline, included. Around a year in normal residential use. Alkaline only - do not fit lithium or rechargeable cells.

My batteries are draining far too fast.
Work through it in this order. Check the white ribbon cable inside the lock is fully seated - the two ridges face outwards and it should click home. Check the cable is routed under the latch and through the vertical slot in the mounting plate, not pinched. Then check door alignment: a latch that binds against the strike makes the motor work far harder every cycle. If you run a Zigbee module to an alarm panel, distance over about 6 metres to the panel also drains batteries and needs a repeater. Misalignment guide.

Installation & Setup
What is the installation sequence?
Strike plate and latch into the frame and door edge first, with the latch retracted, unlocked, and the up arrow facing up. Then the exterior touchscreen, with the tailpiece vertical, arrow up, and the cable routed under the latch. Then the interior mounting plate, cable fed through the cable hole, fixed with the two long through bolts - snug, not over-tightened. Then the interior lock body: connect the cable with the two white ridges facing you, hook the bottom in first until it clicks, then push the top home and fit the two machine screws. Then the cylinder and levers. Then the Yale Home Module, with the batteries out. Then the batteries and cover.

Then the exterior touchscreen, with the tailpiece vertical, arrow up, and the cable routed under the latch. Then the interior mounting plate, cable fed through the cable hole, fixed with the two long through bolts - snug, not over-tightened. Then the interior lock body: connect the cable with the two white ridges facing you, hook the bottom in first until it clicks, then push the top home and fit the two machine screws. Then the cylinder and levers. Then the Yale Home Module, with the batteries out. Then the batteries and cover.
Do I need to hand the lock?
Yes, but it is electronic and automatic. Install the lock, set the master code, and it learns direction on first operation with the latch retracted. Re-hand it if you move it to another door: master code, gear, 3, gear, 5, gear. More on handing.

The lock will not lock after installation or a reset.
That is almost always an unhanded lock. Make sure the latch is retracted and unlocked, then run the re-handing sequence above. If it still will not throw, check the tailpiece is vertical with the arrow up and the thumbturn is horizontal.

The levers will not go on - the locking pins will not retract.
The thumbturn is in the vertical (locked) position. Turn it horizontal (unlocked) and the pins retract. Press the pin as you slide each lever on so you do not damage the lock.

The keypad makes no sound.
Check Audio is enabled in the programming menu. If it is, the white cable between the keypad and the interior lock is most likely pinched or unseated - remove the batteries before you open anything up.

I get an alert when I try to lock or unlock electronically.
Do not turn or press the lever while the motor is running - that causes a jam alarm. Also check nothing is obstructing the thumbturn and that it rotates freely by hand.

Should I install the module before or after the batteries?
Before. The batteries must be out whenever the Yale Home Module goes in or comes out. Fitting or removing the module with the lock powered is the leading cause of the Module Communication Error.

I have a Module Communication Error.
Remove one battery, wait ten seconds, remove and reseat the module, refit the battery and listen for the start-up sound. If it persists, re-register the module: master code, gear, 7, gear, then exit. If the number 7 is missing from the programming menu, the master code is not set, the module is not seated, or the lock is not compatible.

Living With It
Does the outside lever still turn when the door is locked?
Yes. The lever rotates freely but the latch stays put until a valid code, key or app command releases it. That is normal and deliberate.

Can someone get locked inside?
No. The interior lever always retracts the latch regardless of lock state. Free egress is built in.

Is the tamper alarm the same as the phantom alerts people complain about?
No. This is genuine hardware - the alarm triggers when the ribbon cable between keypad and interior lock is physically disconnected, which is what happens if someone wrenches the keypad off the door. The phantom alert problem belongs to a different platform entirely. Tamper alert explained.

How do I turn the beeping down?
Volume is adjustable in the Yale Home app under Lock Settings, Device Settings, Volume - off, low or high.

We are near the beach. Anything I should know?
Yes. Salt air is hard on any electronic lock, and the Yale warranty specifically excludes corrosion from coastal air and salt spray. Keep this lock on a protected door with an eave or porch over it, and rinse and dry the exterior escutcheon periodically. Coastal lifespan guidance.

Can I have it keyed alike to my other locks?
Usually yes, if your existing locks are on the C4 profile - which most Australian Yale and Lockwood residential cylinders are. A locksmith rekeys the cylinder to your existing key. Bring a key and a lock body in, or book a site visit.

What if I forget the master code?
A factory reset is the only route back. That erases every code and setting, so you then re-run master code creation and re-hand the lock. If the lock is paired to the app, factory reset it from the app while in Bluetooth range.

Installation Tips from the Bench
- Fit the latch retracted and unlocked, up arrow upward. The tailpiece slot must sit horizontal. Getting this backwards is the most common reason a lock will not throw afterwards.
- Route the cable under the latch. It then passes through the vertical slot in the interior mounting plate. A pinched cable causes silent keypads, jam alarms and rapid battery drain.
- Tailpiece vertical, arrow up, thumbturn horizontal before you offer the interior half to the plate. If the spindle and tailpiece will not mate, that is nearly always why.
- Do not over-tighten the through bolts. Snug is enough. Over-tightening distorts the escutcheon and binds the mechanism.
- Cable connector: two white ridges facing you, pushed fully home until it seats.
- Hook the bottom of the interior body in first and listen for the click, then swing the top in.
- Batteries out when the module goes in. Never insert or remove the Yale Home Module with the lock powered.
- Test mechanically before you power it up. Rotate both levers, door open and closed, and confirm the latch retracts freely with no resistance.
- Set the master code first, then hand the lock, then pair the app - and create every user code in the app, not on the keypad.
