This article provides answers to some frequently asked questions about the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave.

  

## How do I set entry codes with the Z-Wave module?

You can manage your entry codes in the Z-Wave app if your Z-Wave hub supports entry code management. Otherwise, you can [manage and set entry codes in the Yale Access app](https://support.shopyalehome.com/how-to-create-the-master-entry-code-SkUmZlW1D). 

## Where is the QR code for my Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch?

The QR Code is located on the inside of the lock, above the battery compartment. Slide the lock cover up to find the QR code.

## What is the expected battery life of the Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave?

Battery life varies based on how often the lock is operated and the friction in your deadbolt. 

Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch will have a battery life of up to 9-12 months under typical conditions with Z-Wave enabled.

## How will I know when the batteries need to be replaced?

You can check your Z-Wave app for your lock battery status, or check your physical lock.

The gear icon on the keypad of your lock will light up amber to alert low battery, and then red to signal that batteries need to be replaced as soon as possible.

  

Timely battery changes are essential to the performance of your lock.

## How will my lock work if Z-Wave stops working?

If your Z-Wave is down in your home, you will still be able to connect to your lock over Bluetooth using the Yale Access app. 

  

This may take up to a few seconds depending on the model of your phone since different devices have different Bluetooth implementations. The keypad will always work.

## What else do I need to use the Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave?

You will need:

*   A compatible Z-Wave Smart Home hub to control your lock with your phone
*   A compatible third party app downloaded for your hub of choice (SmartThings, Hubitat, etc.) to control and manage your lock

## What systems is the Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave compatible with?

The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave is compatible with Samsung SmartThings and Hubitat. The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch can be set up with Ring, but it is not whitelisted. This means some features may be missing.

  

## Which Z-Wave module works with my Assure Lock 2 Touch?

You will need AYR-MOD-ZW3-USA with [Assure Lock 2 Touch models YRD420-F/450-F](https://shopyalehome.com/pages/yale-assure-lock-2-touch).

❗ **Have another lock?** Assure Locks (YRD256/226/216), Assure Levers (YRL226/216), and nexTouch require a [different module](https://shopyalehome.com/products/yale-z-wave-plus-smart-module?variant=31244290883716).

## Can I use my existing Z-Wave Module in my Assure Lock 2 Touch?

The Assure Lock 2 Touch is only compatible with the Z-Wave 700 Series module, AYR-MOD-ZW3-USA.

If you have a Z-Wave 500 Series module (AYR-MOD-ZW2-USA/AYR202-ZWV-USA), they will not work with the Assure Lock 2 Touch.

  

You can either purchase it in a package with the Assure Lock 2, or purchase the Z-Wave module by itself on [ShopYaleHome.com](https://shopyalehome.com/pages/zwave).

## When using the Assure Lock 2 Touch + Z-wave, where do I create fingerprints?

Fingerprints can only be registered from the Yale Access app.

## Will I see fingerprint usage and activity from my Z-Wave partner app?

Depending on the hub you are using, you will see when your door is locked and unlocked. You will not be informed which fingerprint unlocked your door.
