  • Previously-owned Yale Smart Locks need to be factory reset before they can be set up by a new owner. If you tried setting up a previously-owned device that was not factory reset before you acquired it, Yale needs permission from the previous owner to factory reset the device on their behalf.

    It may take up to 30 days for the previous owner to respond to your request. If you purchased the lock directly from a person or 3rd party seller, you may wish to contact them and ask them to reset the device in order to expedite the process. Once the device has been factory reset, you will receive a notification to continue setting up the device.

    If you purchased the device from a retailer, please contact them about an exchange.

  • If you received an email requesting to reset a device you used to own, it means that someone is requesting permission to reset a lock that is currently registered under your account. To grant them permission, select YES.

    By accepting the request, you as an owner of the device are giving Yale the permission to factory reset the lock. This means you will be giving up ownership of the lock and accept that once the lock is reset, all existing users will lose access to it.

    PLEASE NOTE: The request expires after 30 days.

  • Once a lock’s battery reaches 20% capacity, a low-battery notification appears on your phone’s screen. You may wish to recharge the battery when you first see this notification. If you don’t recharge the battery at this time, you will receive daily emails and push notifications as the battery approaches a critical level. Should you receive these notifications, it is imperative that you recharge the battery. After fully recharging the battery, operate your lock 3 times using the Yale Home App. This should reset the battery level on our server to stop the low-battery alerts until the next time the battery reaches 20% capacity.

    PLEASE NOTE: You must operate the lock over Bluetooth or remotely via WiFi. Operating your lock manually will not stop the low-battery notifications.

    If the app continues to report a low battery 24 hours after recharging the battery and operating the lock via the app, please reach out to your regional Customer Support to confirm whether the alert you are receiving is false or if there’s something else causing the batteries to drain rapidly. Our Customer Support team will assist you with the next steps.
