A Beginner's Guide to Changing Code on Yale Smart Lock

Yale Smart Locks are a convenient and secure way to keep your home or business safe. One of the features of these locks is the ability to change the access code, which can come in handy if you need to grant access to someone temporarily or if you suspect someone knows your current code.

Step 1: Access the Lock Menu

The first step in changing the code on your Yale Smart Lock is to access the lock menu. This can typically be done by entering the current code followed by the "#" key. Once you are in the menu, you will need to navigate to the "Change Code" option.

Step 2: Enter the Current Code

After selecting the "Change Code" option, you will be prompted to enter the current code. This is a security measure to ensure that only authorized users are able to change the access code. Once you have entered the current code, press the "#" key to confirm.

Step 3: Enter the New Code

After confirming the current code, you will be prompted to enter the new code. The new code must be between 4 and 8 digits in length and cannot include consecutive numbers or repeating digits (e.g. 1234 or 1111). Once you have entered the new code, press the "#" key to confirm.

Step 4: Confirm the New Code

After entering the new code, you will be prompted to confirm it by entering it again. This is to ensure that you have entered the correct code and that there are no typos. Once you have confirmed the new code, press the "#" key to save it.

Step 5: Test the New Code

After saving the new code, it is important to test it to ensure that it works properly. Try entering the new code and make sure that the lock opens. If it does not, double-check that you have entered the correct code and that it meets the requirements outlined in step 3.

Conclusion

Changing the code on your Yale Smart Lock is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. By following these steps, you can ensure that your home or business remains secure and that only authorized users are granted access.
