BEFORE YOU START
1. Important things to know
●
Do not install the batteries before you’re told to by the installation instructions. If you
do, the lock may not be able to calibrate itself correctly, and have problems locking.
●
You must install the Nest × Yale strike plate included with the lock. If you don’t, the
lock may jam. While the current strike plate may look the same, the Yale plate is
engineered to precisely fit the new lock.
●
You must close the door during the lock test as instructed. If you don’t, the lock won’t
calibrate itself to the customer’s door, and may jam. If the lock fails the test it will
automatically unlock.
●
Keep the old lock handy, just in case.
2. Check that the lock will work with the door
●
Before you begin installation, check that the door meets the
following requirements (most standard doors will). You can
use the template included in the installation manual or a
measuring tape.
●
The door’s thickness must be between 1 ⅜ and 2 ¼ inches
thick.
●
The lock hole center is either 2 ⅜ or 2 ¾ inches from the
edge of the door.
●
If the door’s lock holes are out of these specs you can either
re-drill the holes after you’ve removed the current lock
