- Prepare the Door: If replacing an existing deadbolt, remove it completely. Use the provided door template to mark and drill any necessary holes if installing on a new door.
- Install the Deadbolt Latch: Insert the deadbolt latch into the edge of the door. Ensure the latch is oriented correctly for your door's swing.
- Install the Exterior Keypad: Position the exterior touchscreen keypad on the outside of the door, aligning it with the deadbolt latch.
- Install the Interior Assembly: Attach the interior assembly to the inside of the door, connecting it to the exterior keypad and the deadbolt latch mechanism. Secure with the provided screws.
- Insert Batteries: Install the 4 AA batteries into the battery compartment of the interior assembly.
- Test Operation: Manually test the deadbolt to ensure smooth operation. Follow the instructions in the programming guide to set up your master entry code and any user codes.
Operating Instructions
Your Yale Assure SL Deadbolt Lock offers multiple ways to secure and access your home.
Unlocking the Door:
- Using an Entry Code: Touch the keypad to activate it. Enter your 4-8 digit entry code, then press the checkmark (✓) button. The deadbolt will retract, allowing you to open the door.
Locking the Door:
- One-Touch Locking: Simply tap the touchscreen keypad with your palm or fingers. The deadbolt will extend, securing the door.
- Auto-Lock: If enabled, the lock will automatically engage the deadbolt after a preset time (e.g., 30 seconds) once the door is closed.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Yale Assure SL Deadbolt Lock.
- Battery Replacement: The lock operates on 4 AA batteries. Replace all four batteries simultaneously when the low battery indicator appears or when the lock's operation becomes sluggish. Use high-quality alkaline batteries for best performance.
- Cleaning: Clean the touchscreen keypad with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.
- Door Alignment: Periodically check that your door and frame are properly aligned. Misalignment can cause the deadbolt to bind, leading to premature wear or operational issues.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Yale Assure SL Deadbolt Lock, refer to the following common solutions:
- Keypad Not Responding: Ensure the batteries are not depleted. Replace them if necessary. If the keypad remains unresponsive, try removing and reinserting the batteries to reset the lock.
- Deadbolt Not Extending/Retracting: Check for any obstructions in the door frame or strike plate. Verify that the door is properly closed and aligned. Low batteries can also affect motor performance.
- Incorrect Code Entry: If the lock does not accept your code, ensure you are entering the correct 4-8 digit code followed by the checkmark button. If multiple attempts fail, the lock may temporarily disable the keypad for a short period as a security measure.
- No Power: If the batteries are completely dead, you can use a 9V battery as an emergency power source by touching it to the terminals below the keypad to temporarily power the lock and enter your code.
