4.1. Installing the Latch

Before installing the latch, ensure the door has been prepped according to the specifications in the included template. The latch is adjustable for backsets of 2 3/8" or 2 3/4". Ensure the latch bevel faces the exterior if the door opens inward, or the interior if the door opens outward. The plunger of the deadlocking latch must stop on the strike when the door is closed.

4.2. Installing the Exterior Keypad Escutcheon

Install the keypad escutcheon with the weather-resistant seal. The tailpiece should be oriented with the white or black marking on top. Ensure the red marking on the hub is also on top. Guide the control wires under the latch and position the tailpiece to engage the bolt. Do not remove the clip on the top of the shank until the exterior lever is ready for installation.

4.3. Installing the Interior Mounting Plate

Remove the interior mounting plate from the interior escutcheon. Guide the wire through the cutout and route the wire harness and connector through the slot on the left. The lip of the escutcheon plate inserts into the exterior housing cutout. Ensure it is flush to the door and straight before proceeding. Insert and tighten the bolts, being careful not to overtighten.

4.4. Attaching the Cable Assembly and Installing the Interior Escutcheon

Attach the wiring harness to the interior escutcheon assembly, ensuring it is seated properly in the plug. Insert the tailpiece onto the thumb turn shaft assembly. Ensure the wire harness does not obstruct the path of the mounting screws. Once attached, adjust the wire to allow the interior escutcheon to sit flush to the plate assembly. Insert and tighten the two screws inside the battery cover area and the two screws in the bottom of the escutcheon.

4.5. Installing the Exterior Lever

Remove the clip that held the hub in its correct position by spreading the clip ends to extract it from the shank. Be careful not to rotate the cam from its original position. For a left-handed lever, insert the hex set screw into the right side of the shank with the hex key, turning a few clockwise turns until it clears the surface. For a right-handed lever, insert the hex set screw into the left side of the shank. Insert the cylinder into the exterior lever. While holding the cylinder in place, insert the key and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise to the vertical position. Slide the lever handle over the shank, ensuring it clears the hex set screw. Align the hole in the lever handle with the hex set screw. Pick up the hex key and turn the hex set screw in the opposite counter-clockwise direction to retract it and firmly secure the lever handle. Turn the key 90 degrees and remove it.

4.6. Installing the Interior Lever

For a right-handed lever, insert the hex set screw into the left side of the shank with the hex key, making a few clockwise turns until it clears the surface. Place the interior lever handle over the shank until the hole on the lever handle aligns with the hex set screw. After the lever is inserted properly, pick up the hex key and turn the hex set screw in the opposite counter-clockwise direction to retract it and firmly secure the lever handle. Do not overtighten. Remove the hex key.

4.7. Testing the Lock's Mechanical Operation

Before installing the batteries, test the lock's mechanical operation. Place the thumb turn in the horizontal position. Lift up and push down on both the interior and exterior levers, one at a time, to verify that the latch is retracted by both levers in the unlocked position. Next, place the thumb turn in the vertical position. Lifting up or pushing down on the exterior lever should not retract the latch. Lifting up and pushing down on the interior lever should still retract the latch in the locked position. Finally, insert the key into the cylinder and rotate it clockwise until the thumb turn moves to the horizontal, unlocked position. If operation is not smooth for any of these procedures, review the previous steps to ensure proper installation while maintaining proper alignment of escutcheons.

4.8. Install the Batteries and Battery Cover

Install the four AA batteries (supplied) into the interior escutcheon. Once the batteries are installed, the lock will announce "Welcome to Yale Real Living." Finally, install the battery cover.

5. Operation

The Yale YRL-220-ZW-0BP Digital Door Lock offers keyless entry via its illuminated touchscreen keypad. To activate the keypad, simply swipe your palm or the side of your hand across it. You can program up to 250 user codes for convenient access. The lock also features automatic locking, which can be set for 30 seconds, one minute, or turned off entirely.

• Cleaning: Clean the touchscreen and lock exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.
• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the latch bolt and deadlocking plunger with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Do not lubricate the cylinder.
