Getting into your house just got a lot simpler. ADT and Yale have launched a new smart lock—the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave—that not only opens your door with your fingerprint but also disarms your ADT+ security system at the same time.

This is the first Z-Wave smart lock to support the new User Credential Command Class, which basically means you can do more with a single touch, without needing an app, PIN, or key. If you’re already using ADT+, this could be one of the more useful smart home upgrades in a while.

“ADT, alongside ​our partners at Yale and ​the Z-Wave Alliance​, is setting a new standard for smart home security,” said Omar Khan, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer at ADT.

“With the introduction of the User Credential Command Class and updates to ADT+, we’re not just launching a new lock—we’re redefining how security systems and smart locks work together. This is a leap forward for home security, combining convenience and protection in a way that has never been done before.”

Most smart locks give you a few ways to get in—maybe a PIN or a smartphone app—but this one adds a fingerprint scanner right on the lock. And because it’s built on Z-Wave’s new 800 Series tech, it’s designed to work faster, have better range, and use less power than older models.

What really stands out, though, is how it connects with ADT+. Touch your finger to the lock, and it can unlock the door and turn off your security system. That’s one less step every time you come home, and it’s especially helpful if your hands are full or you're in a rush.

This setup might sound familiar to folks who used the old Nest Secure system with the Nest x Yale Lock. That combo let you disarm the alarm with a single code. Now, ADT and Yale are bringing that same convenience—only with a fingerprint.

If you’re not into using your fingerprint all the time, no worries. The lock still works with a keypad code, a regular key, or through the ADT+ app. It’s meant to give you options, not lock you into one method (pun intended).

You can also give access to others, like family, friends, or even your dog walker. Using ADT’s Trusted Neighbor feature, you can let people into your home during specific time windows—no need to hand out keys or memorize codes. They just use their own fingerprint.

This new lock fits right into the ADT+ ecosystem, which recently added a handy Home / Away feature. Using geofencing, the ADT+ app can tell when all the phones in your household have left the area. When that happens, the system can switch to Away mode—locking the doors, arming the alarm, and adjusting other connected devices like thermostats or lights.

When someone returns home and uses the fingerprint scanner, everything switches back. It’s a subtle shift toward automation that doesn’t rely on you remembering to push a button on your way out the door.

And if you forget your phone but still have your finger? You can still get in and disarm the system without any extra steps.

A few things you should know. The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave uses Yale’s standard modular design, but unlike some past models, this version doesn’t let you swap in the Z-Wave module on your own. If you already own a Yale lock, you’ll need to buy the full unit to get these new features.

It’s also worth noting that while the lock works over Z-Wave—a protocol that many smart home hubs use—the fingerprint-to-disarm feature currently only works with ADT+. Down the line, other platforms might support it too, but for now, it’s an ADT+ exclusive.

The lock is available now for $279.99 through ADT.com, and you can install it yourself or have ADT do it for you.
