But on occasions with certain Brands, the Yale Smart Opener will require that you use an adaptor to be able to use it.

We recommend the  Normstahl Adapter box. This box can be used on the following brands and models below:

• Henderson Magic 600 & 1000
• Normstahl Magic 600 & 1000
• Entrematic Magic 600 & 1000
• Crawfords Magic 600 & 1000
