Reddit mentions of Yale Security Real Living Keyless Push Button Deadbolt With Z-Wave, Satin Nickel

I use a Yale Security YRD110ZW619 Push Button Deadbolt and it's freaking awesome with features such as.

Pick proof, it's not possible to pick the lock by conventional means.

Built in tamper alarm. Prying on the lock will cause the alarm to go off.

Solid steel construction.

Hardened steel thick strike plate

Anti saw hardened steel deadbolt core.

Z wave with a motorized deadbolt assembly.

Push button, non touch screen design. (push buttons hold up better in extreme cold and still react to input if your wearing gloves)

Up to 8 digit master combination with the ability to program up to 100 normal user codes.

It's one of the cheapest smart locks on the market but probably one of the most secure. I use three of them on my home and I'm confident that a burglar would rather bust out my window then dick with my door. I have acoustic glass break sensors and motion detectors in side my home.

Mine ties in to my Abode security alarm system and automatically locks as soon as the door is closed. All in all I rate it a solid 10/10 for security and convenience.

It's a bit harder to set up as it lacks Bluetooth so you can't remotely charge pins without typing directly on the keypad. I actually like this though as it makes "hacking" the lock much harder.

Most of the home automation hubs have sensible enough security defaults that you aren't open to everyone on the web. There are also local network only solutions if you want to mitigate that risk.

A lock like this (what I have) solves the battery problem by having an externally accessible 9v battery terminal so you can still open it when its battery dies.

That being said, an electronic lock is still more likely to fail than a purely mechanical one but I think its still a much more convenient and secure setup.

Yale door locks

Have these on all entry points. You’re able to sync to the ring alarm and have the alarm be disarmed and armed when the door locks are locked and unlocked.

My set up arms the house alarm whenever the front door is locked from the Yale lock. And the alarm is disarmed only from the utility door. (Door we use the most to access the house).

I used the ring app to configure the locks. So when you create a new user within the ring app you can select to have their pin passed to the locks. You get to choose which locks the new users can unlock. You can also lock and unlock the locks from within the ring app and with Alexa routines.

Note unlike the August locks, you’re not able to set a window time in which guest codes are good for. For example, a maid code that only works on Tuesday’s between 8am-4pm.

At least I haven’t been able to find this option.

Right now, the Yale is an even better deal...
