$149.99
Product Overview
The Yale Assure Lever is a modern keypad lever lock designed specifically for doors that lack a deadbolt—ideal for interior and exterior applications where traditional locking mechanisms aren’t present. Whether you’re upgrading a side entry door, basement access point, garage entrance, or home office, this lock offers seamless integration thanks to its single-hole preparation compatibility. Engineered by Yale, a trusted name in residential security since 1840, the Assure Lever combines convenience with Grade 2 certified durability, ensuring reliable performance for everyday use.
Say goodbye to fumbling for keys. With the Assure Lever, you unlock your door using a personalized pin code entered through an illuminated keypad—available at the touch of a button. This keyless entry system not only enhances daily convenience but also reduces the risk of lost or forgotten keys. The lock supports customizable access codes, allowing you to grant temporary or permanent entry to family members, guests, or service providers. When someone no longer needs access, simply remove their code instantly—no tools required.
For added peace of mind, the Assure Lever offers both one-touch and auto-locking modes. Choose manual control by pressing the “lock” icon on the keypad, or enable automatic re-locking after the door closes, ensuring your space remains secure without constant monitoring. This flexibility makes it especially valuable for busy households or individuals who frequently come and go.

Benefits & Use Cases
The Yale Assure Lever shines in scenarios where traditional deadbolts aren’t feasible or desired—such as historic homes, modern minimalist designs, or spaces where aesthetics prioritize clean lines over visible hardware. Its single-hole installation means you won’t need to redrill or alter your door frame, making it a cost-effective upgrade path for existing doors.
This lock is particularly advantageous in shared living environments. Imagine assigning a unique code to your houseguest for a weekend stay or enabling your cleaning service to enter while you’re away—all without handing over physical keys. The ability to instantly deactivate codes ensures ongoing security, even if someone leaves unexpectedly or moves out.
Auto-locking is another standout feature for forgetful individuals or those managing multiple entrances throughout the day. Once enabled, the door automatically secures itself moments after closing, reducing the chance of accidental left-open doors. Combined with Yale’s reputation for reliability, this gives homeowners confidence that their property stays protected—day and night.
When paired with compatible smart modules, the Assure Lever becomes part of a larger connected ecosystem. You can check if the door is locked before leaving home, send temporary codes to contractors remotely, or receive instant notifications if the lock detects unusual activity. This level of control is especially appealing to tech-savvy users or families with variable schedules.
Important Notes
While the Assure Lever delivers strong security and modern functionality, potential buyers should be aware of a few considerations. Some users report shorter-than-expected battery life, particularly in high-traffic areas where the keypad is used frequently. It’s recommended to keep spare batteries on hand and monitor power levels regularly.
Ergonomics of the lever handle have also drawn mixed feedback. A minority of customers note that the feel or weight of the lever doesn’t suit all hand sizes or grip preferences. If comfort during repeated use is a priority, testing the feel in person (or reviewing detailed photos in ) may be advisable.
Installation experiences vary. While many find the process straightforward using included instructions and tools, others encounter challenges depending on door thickness, material, or alignment with existing hardware. Always verify that your door meets standard single-hole prep dimensions before purchasing. Professional installation may be beneficial for complex setups.
It’s important to note that the Assure Lever does not include a mechanical key override. Should you ever forget your code or lose power, you will need to reset the lock or replace the unit. Therefore, securely storing your personal code and ensuring battery backup plans are in place is strongly recommended.
Packages typically include: one Assure Lever unit, mounting screws, four AA batteries, and a comprehensive installation guide. Optional smart modules like the Yale Network Module or Connected by August Kit are available for enhanced connectivity but must be bought separately.
Overall, the Yale Assure Lever represents a practical blend of convenience, security, and style—perfect for homeowners seeking a key-free solution that integrates smoothly into modern lifestyles. With proper setup and management, it can significantly reduce reliance on physical keys while maintaining robust protection for your home.

GREAT PRODUCT. WORKS WELL, NOT DIFFICULT. YALE APP works well.
Ease to installation: except not expecting the back of lock (inside to be so large. So your classic door that has (2 holes=1-Door handle Hole & 1-Deadlock Hole) usually 3″ apart but won’t work unless you drill new 2¹/⸔ hole for deadbolt hole. at least 6″ above door handle.Ease of Use: Yale App works great (also google assistant). Super fast no delay and integration with google makes this so simple to use.Security:I like I can give every family member their own made up code 4-8 digits and I can tell who’s opening the door at what time I can also give guest access from Monday-Friday and set times of day. Also, say Housekeeper from 9-11am access every Wednesday and it shows up on yale app or Google Assistant. I can even place DOOR IN PRIVACY MODE Where it locks everyone out until I take privacy mode off. You can remove any person with ease and add contact Information and have their own code. It really has great protocols for ease of use.VALUE for Money: YALE is expensive but Worth it, try set up price notification to let you know when on sale. this was thru Amazon thru the Yale Store $199 including wifi module $79 value and for same lock usually & $240-$270. Yale is expensive but you get what pay for. It’s worth it.Connectivity: Works on Apple IOS and Android, plus Google Assistant. My Samsung Note 10+ Android connected fast & easy no issues and it was super fast. No delay. When using thru YALE App you have to hold down for 2 seconds so you don’t accidentally unlock or lock it. There is an Autolock and Autounlock but I haven’t got this setup yet, but definitely going to.

Broke in a few months. ORIGINAL: Works but a pain to install and wasn’t actually NEW as stated
UPDATE 1-10-2025: lock died with the flashing X symbol on the keypad and no lock. Looking at reviews this is happening I g repeatedly because of a hardware failure. Yale is supposedly replacing it but no ETA and the new one will also be a ticking time bomb of failure.The lever arrived today and I immediately knew something was off, as the packaging wasn’t actually sealed. As I opened and started unboxing everything, it became clear this was a used/returned unit, as internal packaging was torn open, small parts boxes had their seals broken, and the device had several scuffs and fingerprints already. After realizing that Amazon wouldn’t exchange for the same item and the “new” price was now $30 more than I’d paid, I went ahead and did the installation hoping it worked.This was also a pain; the directions weren’t clear in several spots, and one set of the included screws just inexplicably didn’t thread in. Looking at the manual I was able to get the screw size and provide my own that worked perfectly. Setup after installation was alright and everything works in HomeKit and Yale’s app, though the overall entire unit just feels cheap; handles have very loose fits with no set screws or other ways to tighten them, the actual lock keyway feels flimsy in the handle, etc.All in all, its working and was literally the only HomeKit enabled lever lock I could find, but between the not so new “new” condition and overall difficultly, I won’t be looking to get another one of these or any Yale products.

Great purchase!
This keypad remote door lock is great. Very well made. Heavy duty Easy to install and works great. I can open and lock my door remotely, allow family members entry with their own code. Highly recommend it. And is well worth the money. I tried less expensive once from Home Depot and had to rerun them. Cheaply made complex to install and did not function well

Very flimsy lever, bad wifi reception, and horrendous battery life
It works. I installed one on my house, and one of my gf’s house. She hosts Air B&B guests, so she enjoys being able to set their own code, and set the time for it to be active and deactivate. It’s nice and convenient for a lot of things. The battery life is terrible, partly I believe because if it hooks up to the wifi, it is constantly checking to see if it’s still connected. And at least with mine, despite being about 15 feet from one of the mesh repeaters, it’s always losing signal. When it’s good, it goes weeks without a problem. But then some days it loses and regains connection 15 or 20 times. And the handle… Maybe the handle itself, material wise, is plenty strong, but the tolerances are so loose it’s comical. Honestly, it feels like it’s broken. Yale really needs to give that a look, because I don’t imagine it would be particularly difficult to just rip the lever off, and pry the whole unit off of the door with a screwdriver.But despite the complaints, I still like it. And it seemed like the best/most full features lever lock available.

This is the third time I buy these locks.
Very reliable, install and forget them. Works well with Airbnb automation, setting up code, opening from distance. Highly recommended

Search and ad description says wifi protocol but once you are almost done installing, step 11, you realize there is an extra smart module / chip not included. But nowhere in their product copy they clearly communicate this “smart module not included, sold extra”Evil/toxic sales practice.

El app de Yale , no está disponible en Mexico, asi que debes instalar una versión anterior, cuidado al comprar, antes verifica que tu telefono puede instalar la aplicación.

I use this to prevent my kid from opening the doors to the basement. The auto timeout lock is great so you donât have to worry about locking it after use.I wish their wireless module doesnât cost an arm or a leg though. Why do they want to set the cost for the module so high and hard to find is something I canât understand.
