How to change a Yale lock
Even if it's your first time changing a lock, there's no need to worry. Our quick step-by-step guide will make you feel like an expert locksmith in no time.
-
Unscrew the current lock - Use a screwdriver and get to work on the screws holding your existing lock in place. Once appropriately loosened, gently pull out the lock to not damage the door.
-
Place your new lock - This is straightforward should your new lock be the same size as your previous one. Correctly align the new lock with the existing hole, and you're good to go. If your new lock is a different size, the hole may require some adjustment.
-
Secure the new lock - Once it's in place, screw in the new lock carefully. Over-tightening the screws can lead to the lock functioning incorrectly.
-
Test it out - When you've got everything screwed in and correctly placed, use your key to ensure everything's how it should be. If it locks and unlocks smoothly, you're sorted!
