Decide if the Yale Assure Lock 2 Key-Free Keypad with Bluetooth and Ridgefield Handle fits your door, your phone habits, and your rental—without Wi-Fi.
Quick answer
Choose the Yale Assure Lock 2 Key-Free Keypad with Bluetooth and Ridgefield Handle if you want key-free entry, shareable entry codes, and Auto-Lock with DoorSense® without relying on Wi-Fi. Skip it if you need remote access from outside Bluetooth range or want a touchscreen instead of a keypad.
What the bundle includes—and what it leaves out
The bundle pairs the Assure Lock 2 Key-Free Keypad (Bluetooth model) with the Ridgefield handle, so your front door gets a consistent look and a single purchase. The lock supports multiple ways to unlock, entry-code sharing and tracking, and Auto-Lock with DoorSense®. Because this is the Bluetooth version, remote access and live status from outside your home are not part of the package—you manage the lock when you're within Bluetooth range. That's the main trade-off to accept before buying.
Why Bluetooth-only can be an advantage
Without Wi-Fi, there's no bridge, no router pairing, and no ongoing cloud dependency for everyday entry. For a rental property, that can mean fewer devices to maintain between guests and less to troubleshoot when the internet goes down. The catch: you can't issue a code or check activity from another city unless you're on site. If remote management is essential, this bundle is the wrong tool—not a flawed one.
Keypad vs. touchscreen: a quick reality check
A keypad gives physical, tactile feedback and familiar code entry; a touchscreen offers a sleeker surface but can be less forgiving with gloves or wet fingers. This bundle uses a keypad, which suits households that want obvious buttons and renters who may not read instructions carefully. If you prefer a touchscreen, look at the separately sold touchscreen bundles instead—this guide doesn't apply to those models.
Decision rules for the Bluetooth keypad bundle
- You need remote access or live alerts: Choose a Wi-Fi or connected model instead. This Bluetooth bundle manages codes and settings only when you're within Bluetooth range. Remote access is a connectivity decision, not a lock-quality decision.
- You manage a rental or guest suite: Pick this bundle if you can be on site to set codes between stays and want to avoid Wi-Fi troubleshooting. If you must coordinate from a distance, choose a connected lock. Match the lock to how often you're physically present.
- Your household includes glove-wearers or less tech-comfortable users: The keypad's physical buttons are a practical fit. If you specifically want a touchscreen, this is not the bundle for you. Entry method should match the least confident user in the house.
- You want a coordinated front-door look: The Ridgefield handle is included, so you don't have to source a separate handle. Confirm your door's existing prep and finish preference before ordering; finish options are listed on the product page. Check door prep and finish before you buy—returns are easier than re-drilling.
