Hardware Troubleshooting

Cycle lock in both the locked and unlocked positions. If problems are found:

Tailpiece and spindle will not mate and ﬁt into the inside lock
a. Make sure that your door is between 1-3/8″ and 1-3/4″ thick
b. Make sure that the square shaped spindle has “Top” writing and arrow facing upwards
c. Place the tailpiece in the vertical position
d. Verify that the thumbturn is in the horizontal (unlocked) position

Thumbturn does not rotate electronically or physically
a. Verify that inside of the lock is properly seated on the mounting bracket
b. Make sure that the square shaped spindle has “Top” writing and arrow facing upwards
c. Place the tailpiece in the vertical position
d. Verify that the thumbturn is in the horizontal (unlocked) position

I’m getting an alert when I try to lock or unlock the door electronically

b. Check that thumbturn does not have anything preventing it from physically rotating
c. Verify that you can rotate thumbturn freely

My lock is not making any sound when I touch numbers or icons on the keypad
a. Use the programming tree in this manual to verify that Audio is enabled
b. If Audio is enabled, make sure that the white cable that connects the keypad to the inside lock is not pinched or broken

When rotating the thumbturn I hear noise
a. A little bit of noise is normal when operating the thumbturn
b. If cranking, grinding or clicking occurs please verify your installation

The locking pins will not retract when I try to install the levers

Setting Definitions

Settings	Default Setting	Deﬁnition
Master Entry Code	Creation required*	The Master Entry Code is used for programming and for feature settings. It must be created prior to programming the lock. The Master Code will also operate (unlock/lock) the lock.
All Code Lockout	Disabled	This feature is enabled by the Master Entry Code. When enabled, it restricts all Entry Code access except Master. When attempting to enter a code while the lock is in All Code Lockout mode, the RED locked padlock will appear on the screen.
Auto Re-lock	Disabled	After a successful code entry or manual unlock with the key (YRL226), the lock will automatically re-lock after each unlock in an effort to keep your home secure. This feature is optional, and can be turned off. In the ON mode, the lock will automatically re-lock after thirty (30) seconds.
Inside Indicator Light	Disabled (Off)	Located on the interior lock. Shows active status (Locked) of lock and can be enabled or disabled in the Advanced Lock Settings (Main Menu selection #3).
Language	English	Choosing English (1), Spanish (2) or French (3) becomes the (default) setting for the lock voice prompts.
One Touch Locking	Enabled	When the latch is retracted, activating the touchscreen will extend the latch (during Auto Re-lock duration or when Auto Re-lock is disabled). When One-Touch Re-lock is not in use (disabled), any valid Entry Code will re-lock the lock.
Shutdown Time	60 Seconds	The lock will shutdown (ﬂashing RED) for sixty (60) seconds and not allow operation after the Wrong Code Entry limit (5 attempts) has been met.
Volume	Enabled (Low)	The volume setting for Entry Code veriﬁcation is set to Low (2) by default; otherwise it can be set to High (1) or Silent (3) for quiet areas.

*The Master Entry Code must be created prior to any other programming of the lock.

Using Your Lock

*NOTE TO INSTALLER AND CONSUMER

While Yale® has included several features to prevent lockout (9-Volt battery jumper, low battery warnings), it is still possible for a lockout situation to occur. Because the YRL256 does not have a key, Yale® recommends using YRL256 in an environment where there are additional entry points into a dwelling.

Creating Master Entry Code

The Master Entry Code is used to change lock settings.
A security best practice is to set your Master Entry Code with 6 or more digits and create a separate code that is used daily to lock and unlock the door.

Creating Entry Codes

Master Entry Code must be created first.
*Max Entry Codes = 250 with Smart Module; 25 without.

Deleting Entry Codes

Deleting one Entry Code:

To delete one Entry Code, you must enter the Entry Code you wish to delete.
To delete all Entry Codes (Does not delete
Master Entry Code):

FAQS

Is there a Mul-T-Lock cylinder that can be installed in place of the standard cylinder that comes in the deadbolt system?

You can touch the keypad with the back of your hand and it will lock automatically, or you can lock it remotely with your cell phone.

How do you lock it ?

The 220 is an older model and uses an older version of Z-Wave. The 226 uses our generation 2 network modules for Z-Wave and Zigbee.

What’s the difference between yrd220 and yrd226? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b06wrv97hz

You need a home automation controller. I use VERA LITE which runs about $100 and has no monthly fees. However, the Schlage and other products do.

What else do you need to buy to make this wireless? I want to be able to lock it from my phone, ect. Also is there any monthly fees with this?

In fact it is. The homepage of Control4 even depicts Yale locks as example.

Is there a way to turn off the (30 sec) auto relock so it stays unlocked when you are outside and want to come in and out without the door locking?

yes , you can adjust it from setting and cancel “auto lock”

Is there Left & Right opening option?

Not sure what the person below meant by “handed” but no, they are RH only unfortunately. The Camelots by Schlage are both.

Can this be used standalone without any additional system or technology?

All z-wave-enabled locks (Yale, Schlage, Kwikset) can be programmed and operated manually with combination keys.
No additional technology is needed for this purpose.
If these locks have to be operated remotely (for example from a smartphone or computer), then a z-wave controller will be needed.

Does the touchpad work with gloves on?

Yes, it does with the normal gloves we use. There may be some that don’t but we have driving and snow gloves that both worked.

What features are available without hooking this lock up to a hub? Can I still use multi-codes and one-time-use codes?

Yes

Any chance it works with the Philips Hue Bridge hub?

No, it doesn’t, but if you have SmartThings, Philips Hue and Yale Z-Wave or Zigbee locks (the model you asked about is a Zigbee lock) work with the SmartThings Hub, so you would be able to create automation for the two.

What is the difference between this model and the Assure?

This model (YRD226) uses Z-Wave rather than the newer Z-Wave Plus that is available in our Assure series of locks. Also, the Z-Wave radio in the YRD226 can’t be swapped out for a different radio. Whereas our Assure line (which includes several models) uses plug-in modules (Network Modules) for Z-Wave Plus, Zigbee, and HomeKit.

Is the Yale ‎YRL226-ZW2-0BP for a typical right-handed inswing door?

The lock is handed for the left or right swings doors.
