| Overview | Consider U100 if you want local entry by keypad, fingerprint or compatible Apple home key. This profile covers the US Gray standalone SDL-D01 U100. It is not a kit. To manage Aqara Home passwords from a distance, buy a compatible Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub separately. The lock price is only part of that setup. | Consider the US Nuki Smart Lock if you want a retrofit lock with a documented hosting service sold separately. You can share digital access by hand without Smart Hosting. Booking connections use Nuki Web. Each connected lock needs its own Smart Hosting package at $69 per year. Check your deadbolt, how guests will enter and PMS requirements before choosing your setup. | This profile covers Standard Assure Lock 2 sold for US/Canada use. Keyed YRD410/420 and key-free YRD430/450 have different backup entry methods. Remote control needs a compatible Wi-Fi module or Connect Bridge. Bluetooth-only use needs you nearby. Touch fingerprint and Plus Apple Home Key features are in separate models. The temporary-code notice below matters for automatic guest entry. |

Compare locks and guest-entry tools — Aqara Smart Lock U100 vs Nuki Smart Lock (US Deadbolt) vs Yale Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi
Start at the door. Check whether the lock fits, how guests enter and what happens if power or internet fails. Then check remote control and booking links. A lock, a hub and access software can be separate purchases. Confirm the full setup before relying on automatic guest codes.
Aqara Smart Lock U100: what to consider
Check the model and hub you need. To manage Aqara Home passwords from afar, buy a supported Aqara Zigbee hub separately. The lock price alone does not cover that setup. Read the Aqara Smart Lock U100 profile for its plans and requirements.
Nuki Smart Lock (US Deadbolt): what to consider
Check how guests enter and whether your software works with Nuki Web. Sharing digital access by hand does not need Smart Hosting. Booking links need that separate package for each lock. Read the Nuki Smart Lock (US Deadbolt) profile for its plans and requirements.
Yale Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi: what to consider
Check the keyed or key-free model. Remote control needs a supported Wi-Fi module or Connect Bridge. Bluetooth alone works nearby. Read the temporary-code notice in the table before planning guest entry. Read the Yale Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi profile for its plans and requirements.
Explore all smart access options, how to choose a lock for a US rental, how to plan automatic guest access codes to continue your shortlist.
Common questions
What should I check before choosing between Aqara Smart Lock U100, Nuki Smart Lock (US Deadbolt) and Yale Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi?
Start with the exact door and lock model. Check the keypad, bridge or hub needed for your chosen booking connection. Decide which system should create and remove guest codes. A compatible brand name alone does not confirm that the full setup will work.
How should I plan backup entry with Aqara Smart Lock U100, Nuki Smart Lock (US Deadbolt) and Yale Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi?
Check how the exact model lets guests in if the main method fails. Test the guest steps before arrival and arrange local help. A code may work offline but still need an internet link for you to change or remove it.
What backup options does Aqara Smart Lock U100 offer for a flat battery?
Aqara lists a physical key and a USB-C port for backup power. Plan how a guest can reach the backup before the battery runs flat. These methods do not promise entry if there is another fault.
Will Nuki Smart Lock fit any US deadbolt?
No. Nuki’s US guide calls for a single-cylinder deadbolt: a key outside and a thumbturn inside. The door’s swing and nearby hardware also affect fit. Use the US guide and measure the needed space before you buy.
Which Yale Assure Lock 2 setup does Airbnb support directly?
Airbnb lists Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi, including the Wi-Fi Touch and Plus models. It allows built-in Wi-Fi or a Connect Wi-Fi Bridge. The listing must be in the US or Canada and meet Airbnb’s other rules. Bluetooth alone is not the same setup.
