Step 1: Prepare Your Door

Before installing your lock, prepare your door. Use a screwdriver to remove the two screws from the existing deadbolt. Next, remove the two screws from the deadbolt latch.

Step 2: Check Door Measurements

Use the provided door checker to verify your door measurements. The Assure Lock 2 can be installed on doors that are 1 3/8" - 2 1/4" thick. Ensure the space between your deadbolt hole and your lever is greater than 1.78". The deadbolt supports backsets of 2 3/8" or 2 3/4". If your backset is 2 3/4", adjust your deadbolt latch by twisting the bolt. The Assure Lock 2 supports bore holes of 2 1/8" or 1 1/2". If your bore hole is 1 1/2", remove the bore hole cup from the keypad by unscrewing the two screws on the inside of the keypad. The diameter of your cross bore hole must be 1". The strike pocket hole must be 1" in diameter and 1" deep.

Step 3: Install Deadbolt Latch

Put the deadbolt latch in the retracted, unlocked position. The deadbolt orientation should be placed into the door with the side marked 'UP'. Verify that the deadbolt is centered in the hole in the door. Then, secure it with the two small screws.

Step 4: Install Strike Plate

Install the strike plate into the door frame with the remaining two small screws.

Step 5: Install Keypad and Mounting Bracket

Install the keypad on the front of the door. Make sure the cable is positioned under the deadbolt latch. Additionally, ensure the keypad is flush to the door and is straight. Install the mounting bracket on the inside of your door. Place the two prongs through the two holes in the keypad. Then, guide the keypad wire through the hole in the mounting bracket. Secure the mounting bracket using the long screws (silver, black, or blue) you selected while measuring your door thickness. Thread the through bolts through the two holes in the mounting bracket. Make sure they also thread properly through the deadbolt latch and the keypad. Continue to thread until tightened and so that the keypad is sitting flushing on the front of the door.

Step 6: Attach Cable and Place Tailpiece

Attach the cable from the keypad to the connector on the inside of the lock. Be sure to route the wire under the wire guide without crimping it. Put the tailpiece in the horizontal position and place it through the mounting bracket and the deadbolt latch. Make sure the interior lock is on the mounting bracket by hooking the bottom of the interior of the lock to the latch on the mounting bracket.

Step 7: Install Interior Lock and Batteries

Screw in the two pre-installed screws inside of the lock's battery cover. When tightening down these screws, the lock will adjust itself to sit flush on the door. Unlock the deadbolt before installing the batteries. For easy battery removal in the future, pull up the ribbon to cover the battery terminals. Then, install the bottom back battery, followed by the top back battery, and finally the two front batteries before sliding the battery cover back in place.

Step 8: Test Lock Operation

Test the operation of the lock by moving the thumbturn. The thumbturn should move smoothly and the latch should move to the extended, or locked, position. If you are experiencing issues, refer to the troubleshooting section.

Step 9: Install Yale Smart Module (Optional)

If you have a Yale Smart Module, install it in the interior of the lock in the module slot. The module must be installed prior to installing the batteries. If your batteries are already installed, remove one battery prior to installing the module. We recommend doing this if your lock came with a module.

Troubleshooting

• Entry code issues: Verify the code is entered correctly. Check the access schedule in the Yale Access App to ensure the code is active.
• Fingerprint sensor not working: Ensure the sensor is clean and your finger is dry. Re-register your fingerprint if issues persist.
• App connectivity problems: Ensure your smartphone's Bluetooth is enabled (for direct connection) or your Z-Wave hub is online and functioning correctly.
