7 Steps to Install a Yale Smart Lock
Here’s how we install your Yale Smart Lock, whether you want to secure your home or business.
Step 1: Disassemble the Old Lock
Before fitting the new smart lock, the existing system must be carefully removed. Our locksmith keeps the door open to prevent lockouts. Here are the following steps to follow:
- The key is inserted and turned 90° in both directions to check the latch movement.
- Depending on the key-turn direction, either a left turn or right turn handing plate is installed.
- The handing plate is aligned perfectly to ensure the lock functions as intended.
Step 2: Prepare the Door
In order to make sure that the lock fits seamlessly, our locksmiths prepare the door.
- We use the provided template to mark the exact drill points.
- Our locksmiths drill a 20mm hole for the spindle and a 32mm hole for the lock body.
- We ensure clean cuts without damaging the surface of the door.
Step 3: Cut the Connecting Bar
We then cut the connecting bar to the exact required length.
- Our locksmith measures it using the template and marks 18mm.
- We use pliers or a hacksaw to make a clean cut and match the length of the bar to the old cylinder if we are retrofitting.
Step 4: Mount the Keypad
The next step involves fitting the external keypad with accuracy and care.
- We choose screws based on the thickness of the door.
- After aligning the keypad, we attach the mounting plate securely to support the device.
Step 5: Fix the Lock Case
While working on the lock case, we position it and fix it firmly in place. If our locksmith uses a handing plate earlier, we adjust the internal follower accordingly. Lastly, they test the mechanism for smooth operation.
Step 6: Secure the Battery Pack
The next step is to install the battery pack and manage the wiring carefully.
- We connect the cable and feed it through the battery slot.
- Our locksmiths align the battery pack square with the door and screw it in firmly to hold it in place.
Step 7: Power Up and Test
It’s essential to activate and test the lock to ensure everything works perfectly.
- Insert the batteries and close the cover.
- Enter the master code (123456) to test locking functions.
- Wake the keypad with a palm touch and check responsiveness.
- Turn the internal knob to make sure the latch engages properly.
Finally, we update the master code to keep your system secure.
