Quick answer
The Yale Assure Lock 2 Key-Free Touchscreen with Wi-Fi and Valdosta Lever is a solid choice if you want a key-free front door with remote access and a matching lever handle, but it's not ideal if you need a traditional key backup or a deadbolt-only design.
Why choose the key-free touchscreen model?
This version of the Yale Assure Lock 2 has no keyway, so you unlock using the touchscreen, the Yale Access app, or voice assistants. The included Valdosta Lever matches the lock's finish and gives you a coordinated entry set.
The built-in Wi-Fi means you don't need a separate bridge to control the lock remotely. You can share entry codes, get notifications, and set Auto-Lock with DoorSense® to know the door is fully closed.
Trade-offs to consider
Because there's no key override, a dead battery or electronic failure means you must use the external 9V battery jump or call a locksmith. The touchscreen can also be less responsive in very cold weather compared to a keypad.
The Valdosta Lever is designed for standard residential doors. If your door requires a mortise lock or has an unusual backset, this bundle may not fit without additional modification.
Decision rules for buying this bundle
- Choose this if you want no physical key: If you're ready to go completely key-free and rely on codes, app, or voice, this model eliminates the risk of lost keys or lock picking through the keyway.
- Choose this if you need built-in Wi-Fi: The integrated Wi-Fi lets you lock/unlock and check status from anywhere without buying an extra hub. This saves upfront cost and simplifies setup.
- Avoid this if you need a key backup: If you want a physical key as a fallback for power outages or emergencies, look at the Yale Assure Lock 2 with keypad or the version that includes a key override. Consider a keyed model if you share the lock with less tech-savvy household members.
- Avoid this if you prefer a deadbolt-only design: The Valdosta Lever is a lever handle, not a standalone deadbolt. If you want only a deadbolt with no handle, choose a different bundle or buy the lock separately.
