• How do I change the master code on my Yale lock?

  Touch the keypad to wake it. Enter the current master code followed by the '#' or gear key. Select '1' followed by '#', then enter a new master code and press '#' to save.

• What happens if the battery on my Yale Assure Lock dies?

  Your lock codes are kept safely. You can power the lock temporarily by holding a 9V battery to the terminals at the bottom of the keypad, or use the physical key override if your model includes one.

  No, keypad and deadbolt functionality works locally without Wi-Fi. However, features like remote unlocking, smart home integration, and remote management require a Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge or a compatible Smart Module.
