Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this digital door lock because it was the only one on the market that has all the following: 1) Has a key backup (electronics can fail and being the only entrance to my condo I couldn't afford to risk not being able to get in. If you have a house with an alternate door you could risk going completely keyless) 2) Automatic lock and un-lock functionality based on my phone presence (This lock excels at this. Just need Bluetooth turned on, which it is for my car anyway. Don't need the application opened up. I just close the door and it auto locks and when I arrive home the door auto unlocks as I just get near it. No need to pull my phone out of my pocket or worry about having the application running. It's really that easy) 3) Wi-Fi connectivity (allows me to be notified of anyone entering or exiting my condo as I've given access to neighbors for use in case of emergency. I can also let a repairman in when they call just by clicking a button in the application in my phone) 4) Keypad for people to enter code to enter (either permanent or temporarily) 5) Not too obnoxious looking for a dual electronic/key lock. Others are too industrial or just plain ugly. I see others have stated things along the lines of it doesn't work or its broken. I had one problem that was self-inflicted. After installation things didn't seem to work consistently. While I could lock the door with a key, the auto lock and un-lock were unrealiable. I also noticed that the privacy button wouldn't work. After investigating I realized the deadbolt couldn't extend fully as the existing opening in the door jam was about 1/8 inch too shallow to allow such. As soon as I chisled it out everything worked perfectly. This is one area that Yale could have improved the troubleshooting on. While it loves to talk and tell you what it's status is (I turned this off in the advanced settings as it is annoying after the first time), it won't tell you anything is wrong, it just doesn't work reliably. The only other item that may turn people off is that you have a 'jumper' plugged into an electrical wall outlet to manage the lock via Wi-Fi/Internet. But this is common across the industry as Bluetooth is energy efficient and Wi-Fi is not. Just imagine either running electricity to your door or replacing the batteries every day. No thanks, a small jumper device is the best solution for the time being. I've been using this for 3 months now and couldn't be happier. Haven't had replaced the batteries yet. I'd definitely purchase again. Not that the key that comes with it is a Kwikset (KW1) and can easily be changed by your local locksmith.
