The Ultimate Guide to Changing the Code on Your Yale Smart Lock

If you own a Yale Smart Lock, you know how convenient it is to have keyless entry to your home. However, from time to time, you may need to change the code on your lock. This could be because you’ve given someone access to your home, and you no longer want them to have that access. Alternatively, you may have just moved into a new home and want to ensure that the previous occupants can’t enter your home without your permission.

Step 1: Access your lock’s settings

Before you can change the code on your Yale Smart Lock, you need to access the lock’s settings. To do this, you will need to use the Yale Access app on your smartphone or tablet. Once you have the app open, select the lock that you want to change the code for. From there, you will be able to access the lock’s settings.

Step 2: Change the master code

The first code that you will need to change is the master code. This code is what allows you to access the lock’s settings, so it’s important to change it first. To do this, go to the settings menu and select “Change Master Code.” Enter your current master code, followed by the new code that you want to use. Once you’ve entered the new code, you will need to confirm it by entering it again.

Step 3: Change the user codes

Now that you’ve changed the master code, it’s time to change the user codes. These are the codes that your friends, family, or service providers use to enter your home. To change a user code, select “Change User Code” from the settings menu. From there, you can select the user code that you want to change and enter the new code. Once again, you will need to confirm the new code by entering it again.

Step 4: Test the new codes

Now that you’ve changed the codes on your Yale Smart Lock, it’s important to test the new codes to ensure that they work properly. To do this, lock the door and then try to unlock it using the new codes that you’ve just set. If the codes work, then you’re all set. If not, then you may need to repeat the process and double-check that you’ve entered the new codes correctly.

Conclusion

Changing the code on your Yale Smart Lock is a simple process that can be done using the Yale Access app. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure that your home is secure and that only those who you want to have access to your home are able to enter. If you have any questions or run into any issues, be sure to consult the Yale Access app’s user manual or contact Yale’s customer support team for assistance.
