This continues all the way down to a 4 digit code, which results in only 16 combinations if you only use two numbers for your code. As a general rule of thumb, if you want to use a short 4 digit passcode you should use 4 different numbers (e. code, you could actually use 2 or 3 numbers and still have a random passcode (for example, Although it might seem easy to figure out a passcode if you know which numerals are used, you still won't be able to do so unless you pick a incredibly stupid code (like 4321, 1234, 4444).

I have installed and/or operated many smart locks, but this is by far the best. This lock performed better than both Kwikset and Schlage locks that I had previously installed and operated. I was able to pair it instantly, the battery life is excellent, and it works beautifully. These are linked to a Vera home controller and it works like a charm. Moreover, the only time for this to get off track is if the door isn't perfectly aligned or if you need to press the door by hand to compensate for the soundproofing trim around the frame. I do not believe that Yale is really at fault for this situation. Aside from that, the product is quiet, incredibly easy to use and program, and it looks amazing.

A few TIPS The following list is in order of importance 1 It is essential that you have a door you can easily access if you are going to switch to a fully keyless system. The only way to unlock these locks if they ever fail would be from the inside. If you have several of them that are easy to access, then the chances of all of them failing at the same time are pretty slim, but make sure you have a backup plan in case that actually happens. The following questions are asked If you "handle" these locks after installing them, you'll be able to see what they look like.

It's OK. It's just fine, but not as good as one would have hoped. I've had this lock for almost a year now, and so far it's just fine. You should first get the upgraded connected lock when you have the extra cash. It opens as soon as you punch in the numbers. This is all there is to The deadbolt will also open if you stay in the doorway when closing the door, or if you pass your hand anywhere near the pad when closing the door, and when you close it, your door frame will be smashed to pieces.

It might be better to have a slightly more sophisticated lock. You may be able to simply enter the code and then delete once the intended use has been accomplished.
