COVID-19 Alert To DIYers: COVID-19 has severely affected supplier inventory. Product availability, at the moment, is in flux. If you order today, depending on the product, there may be a significant delay in shipping it to you. We apologize for any delays, and assure you that products will be shipped as soon as we can get them. Before COVID, we had significant stock of nearly every popular product that we sell. But demand has outpaced our supplier's ability to meet it, and has exhausted the stock we had purchased to meet increased demand during the government-mandated lockdowns. If you need the product right away, it is unlikely we will be able to accommodate you. For that we apologize. We ask for your patience as we all navigate this unique situation together. Be nice to our employees, they are doing their best to answer your questions and get your product to you as quickly as they can.
Regarding Shipping: Like our suppliers, shipping companies have been deeply affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. Please understand, at the moment, shipping speeds are varying from their promised times. While we ship most items promptly, UPS and USPS, are often not getting products to our customers within the promised timeframe. We are unable to offer refunds for slower shipping at the moment, as this is not within our control. We pay for the shipping speed requested, and, at the moment, our shipping partners are unable to meet their own standards of speed and reliability (this is true of overnight as well) We apologize for this, but can't do anything about it. Please be aware, however, that shipping speeds still matter. While 3-day shipping may, sometimes mean 4-day shipping, it will still be faster than Ground. If you need your product quickly, please choose faster shipping, as it will be faster. But do not expect to get the product in the expected timeframe.
To installers: We have seen an uptick in orders from individuals we suspect to be professional installers. If you are here to get product quickly because you are unable to get the product at your usual supplier, rest assured, we are also out of the product and won't be able to fulfill your order in a timely manner. Like our end-users, we will be delivering products as soon as we get them in.

The Yale YRD246 Assure Lock with iM1 HomeKit Module is a smart lock that works with Apple HomeKit. A user can control the lock from anywhere using voice commands sent through Siri. This requires the use of a HomeKit Hub, such as an Apple TV or iPad. The device replaces a standard door lock.
The features for the YRD246 make it one of the most versatile and reliable locks available on the market today. It meets Grade 2 Deadbolt Operational and Security Standards, which helps to ensure the lock will provide trustworthy protection for the home or business.

The Yale YRD246 is a smart lock that works with Apple HomeKit. Yale is known for their high-quality lock products, and the YRD246 is no exception. It is a visually pleasing lock that offers the security and protection you need. And being able to integrate it with Apple HomeKit is a big plus for iOS users. Overall, we really like Yale YRD246, and we give it a 5 Star rating.
There are many things to appreciate about the Yale YRD246. The biggest benefit is its compatibility with HomeKit. By setting up a HomeKit Hub, you will be able to control your Yale YRD246 from anywhere in the world using Siri voice commands. And if you get the Honeywell Lyric Alarm System, you will be able to integrate that with your HomeKit network as well. The touchscreen keypad of the YRD246 is certainly sleek, and it fits almost any modern decor. You can store up to 250 codes inside the keypad, which makes it great for offices. The lock is Grade 2, meaning it will keep any compatible door nice and secure. And the lock is loaded with nice features like a weather-protection gasket, one-touch locking, backlit numbers, a privacy button, and a tamper-resistant battery cover.
There are some downsides to the Yale YRD246. Like any door lock, it will need to be installed. This may be a difficult task for DIYers who are not used to working with tools. But really, the installation process isn't that bad. Since this is not a Z-Wave lock, it cannot be paired with most security systems. It also will not work with Total Connect 2.0 or Alarm.com. If you are looking for a lock to pair with a security system being used as an automation hub, then you will probably want to look for a Z-Wave model instead. This lock is mostly for users who are building around the HomeKit network. But if that is your intention, then the Yale YRD246 will make for a great addition to your HomeKit network. With that in mind, we give the Yale YRD246 a 5 Star rating.
Good: HomeKit, Touchscreen, Sleek Design, 250 Codes, Grade 2 Security, Lots of Features
