Lovely, big, strong and high security lock but:
a) the mechanism is a bit rough. Maybe it will get smoother with use;
b) the lever returns to horizontal when catch held back with button and it can be difficult to tell if it is held back especially when
c) the ‘bolt’ projects about 3mm from the main case even when held back by the button. This means the door frame fitting has to be sunk more into the frame otherwise the catch is released upon closing. Not fun if you haven’t got a key!
d) the rim cylinder seems a bit cheap
This is an excellent lock and is especially good for doors with glass panels as you can lock the handle when home.
Some tips
If you have to pull hard or slam the door to close it then rub a pencil (graphite) on the back of the latch, as shown in the photo (or get a lube, not WD40) this can happen if door expands, dirt is in lock or slight misalignment.
The instructions ask for a 13mm hole. A 12mm drill bit was sufficient.
Don’t make the gap between door and strike plate too big. If you do the auto deadlock won’t work.
This lock looks and feels solid and is well known by locksmiths as a good lock that you can depend on to work well, with a London bar on the lock body and one on the keep to prevent punch out it has added power? The London bars are coach bolted through the door to be seen from the outside, as it is worth letting the bad guy know before he starts to work on your door! With the U channel and rail to stop jam spreading, this really tells the bad guys to walk on past! the 5 lever mortice and the 3 star Yale euro it means the robbers have to have many skills to get in! The added long throw lock and another euro deadbolt on the top rail I feel safe to leave my house for long periods, Having some homemade exterior warding made from steel hanging around the lock on the top rail makes it harder to use a tension wrench, this makes it harder to pick the lock! Bolting the jam to the frame with 3 inch bolts helps prevent kick in attacks as do hinge bolts, keep everything tight with insulation to reduce any movements in the door too! Outside lights are a good way to put off robbers, stickers on the glass panels can help laminate the glass making it harder to break! The stickers like mine can be of a barking dog, Karate and telling of security marked property to put them off entering in the first place? My dog had a big water bowl beside my front door, often with a big well chewed bone! Image is everything when defending your home, buy some neighbourhood watch sticker even if there is no scheme in place as a robber may not know that? Think about what you do and don’t be the one house with less security than the rest, that’s the one they’re searching for after all? Don’t feel scared but don’t be afraid to look like you are, have as I do an alarm but have dummy alarm boxes to all sides of the house. A silent alarm sticker costs very little but sews the seeds of doubt that might with other things cause them to walk away from your house before they do damage to it, Imagine you were thinking about robbing your house what would put you off it most and why, most robbers are poorly skilled but some are good so by really testing the good ones you have eliminated the badly skilled ones! Your house is worth it, you may have seen the devastated look on the face of one who has been robbed so don’t let your self be one of them?
For a company known for it’s high quality products – this excellent sturdy lock is badly let down by an inaccurate template. I had seen other reviews mention this, but chose to put my faith in Yale expecting they had corrected the problem. NOT SO – using the template, very accurately the holes were drilled. BUT I was shocked to find they did not line up ! I was forced to fill two of the holes with dowels, make my own template, drill new holes and successfully install the lock. WHY YALE does not seem to be aware of this important problem which only damages their reputation and annoys customers is a mystery. DO they ever check the instructions and those vitally important installation drawings?
——— IF you do manage to get this product installed without damaging your door – I do recommend the lock itself. — But why only 2 keys with such an expensive lock? – not expensive to get a third cut but very inconvenient.
Excellent value for money. Easy to fit, did go slightly out when working to the template – but that was my fault for not reading the instructions first. A bit of unprofessional drilling got me back on track and no harm done. The lock has a solid feel to it – far better than the smaller one i had fitted before. I like the extra security feature of being able to lock the lever mechanism from the inside – won’t be able to use that old broom handle through the letter box to open the lock any more if I go out without my keys.
