Yale Assure Lock for Andersen® Patio Doors, Black

Here is The Standard Review for the Yale Assure Lock for Andersen Patio Doors . We have had this electronic lock for 4 years and we are very impressed with its functionality and durability. Installation was very quick and easy. The lock has a modern, seamless look. Simply touch the lock, type in your code and the door locks. If the door is unlocked simply touch the screen and the door locks - no need for keys! The batteries last for about 9 months with daily use and the lock lets you know if the batteries are low with plenty of warning. Overall a great electronic lock!

Overpriced. Poorly made. Handles keep Falling off. Not durable. Nothing but trouble

This lock is absolutely perfect in every way. It was extremely easy to install. Took me about 10 minutes. (Do yourself a favor and study the directions carefully first). Programming was equally just as easy. I have it set to one touch lock, and code to unlock. Works like a charm! Highly recommend this, and is also a great price!

The lock functions as described and is user friendly; have had no issues with programming & function. Recommend the WiFi/Bluetooth upgrade kit for added convenience & monitoring; associated app is fair at best.

Update September 2023 I purchased SwitchBot Lock and it works for this door! It is way cheaper and has trivial installation. Works perfectly and highly recommend! Update August 2023 I rarely do a follow up review but I felt like I had to in this case as I was unable to get any traction with Yale support. The lock stopped working. The knob kept on turning freely without locking the door. Seemed like an actuator has gone bad. I contacted Yale and they asked me to take a video of the lock when it is removed off of the door. I complied. The lock seems to be working fine. I also checked that the door mechanism itself works - it does. Yale told me it is out of warranty But this lock is actually advertised as lifetime warranty on mechanical components. I explained that to the support folks but they kept on repeating that the problem is electronic and it is not! I am very disappointed in Yale - I will not be purchasing anything from themin the future. Original Review I just installed this lock on my Frenchwood patio door. It was super easy to do, I only had to enlarge one exisiting hole from 3/8 to 1/2 inch so that the wire connector would fit throught it. The instructions were clear and it all works perfectly with the multipoint lock that we have on the door.

This lock works great! And it works on the 400 series, you just need to lift the handle before you lock it the same as you had to with a key. Install is easy, instructions are clear. Looks great too!

We purchased this mainly for the auto-lock feature, so that the door would lock after some minutes in the event that someone forgot to lock it at night. However, it fails to lock unless the lever on the door has been pulled up to engage the top/bottom latches. If you forget to do that, it just makes a beeping sound after it attempts but fails to lock due to a mechanical restriction (no sensor to detect the restriction). It could be argued the flaw is in the Andersen mechanism, which does not allow the deadbolt to engage without the lever pulled up, for no good reason I can see. Both Andersen and Yale are far too expensive to have overlooked such basic usage flaws IMO. The above was enough to make me return it, but I also think the interface is awful for such a high price in the year 2021 (it has a touch screen, but someone decided the interface should be designed to emulate a 1990-era phone interface where you press a number and listen for the next message). Even if the auto lock mechanism worked, there is an unnecessary maximum delay and the feature can't be configured to activate only at night (when we actually need it, else it would annoyingly lock all day, every time we go to the garden for more than 3 minutes). Finally, there were gaps between the door and lock, because there aren't enough screws to hold it together. With all these hardware and software flaws, the only feature left is that you can use this to avoid carrying a key. That's all you get, for a lot of money. (PS: I rated the wifi signal a 1 star because I did not pay the extra $ hundreds to activate that deluxe feature.... )

I was surprised at how easy it was to install. The lock is great if you don't want to constantly be fiddling with keys.
