It senses my phone and the door is unlocked as I walk up. It’s easy to set up codes and much better than the Schlage it replaced. Review: Works Great - Long Battery Life - Best smart door lock that goes over your existing deadbolt out there! Physical installation is simple and takes 10 - 15 minutes depending on if/how you install the door sensor. If you're drilling it into the door jamb for a hidden look like I did, it's a good idea to have some krazy glue on hand because if the hole you drill is even a hair too wide in diameter, the sensor wont stay snug in it. A little glue solves that easily. The wifi setup can be a bit if a pain in the butt the first time you do it because you have to turn off Intelligent wifi on your phone (don't waste your time guessing which option to turn off, just turn them ALL off until you're done setup) and you may have to allow the lock set to do software updates, which can take a while. Also, if the wifi module doesn't connect the first time, don't get too frustrated or discouraged. Just make sure you're close to it, and close enough to a wifi access point to have a decent signal, and try it again. It will work the 2nd (or 3rd) time! And for those who want to complain about the wifi module being separate... I'll take that option all day long because it means the batteries last 4x longer than models that have an integrated wifi module! After you're through initial setup, it works GREAT! Totally worth the time it takes to install, even if it's a bit cumbersome to do. Fingerprint functionality is really convenient for the wife and me and I also like that I can assign different entry codes for all the kids. I'm typically very wary of items that have less than a 4 star rating on desertcart but for once I'm really glad I ignored the relatively low rating (3.8 stars as of this review) and went with it. Liked the first one on the front door so much that I bought 2 more for the other exterior doors on our house! ## Features - ULTIMATE CONVENIENCE: Enjoy secure keyless access for your family, friends, vacations rental guests and more.

Mind that the WIFI Bridge must be plugged and placed less than 8 feet away (Bluetooth reach distance) from the lock. Solved the problem of my lockly lock overheating on direct sun and stopped working. My outdoors Bluetooth keypad I placed away from direct sunlight near the door. Nice design. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yale Approach Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt Retrofit Smart Lock, Unlimited Virtual Keys, App Remote Control, Keyless Entry - Black - Yale Assure Lock 2 Limited Edition Deadbolt, Viva Magenta Smart Keyless Entry Door Lock with Wi-Fi Connected Keypad for Code Entry and Remote Access YRD450-WF1-VMP --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/689129921-approach-smart-wi-fi-deadbolt-retrofit-smart-lock-unlimited-virtual](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/689129921-approach-smart-wi-fi-deadbolt-retrofit-smart-lock-unlimited-virtual) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
