Yale Smart Code Handle Keypad Lock for PVC Doors and Windows

Overview

The Yale Smart Code Handle replaces the ordinary handle on a UPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) window or patio, balcony or terrace door with one that has a keypad built in. The handle stays locked until someone enters a code on it or unlocks it from the Yale Home app over Bluetooth, so a child cannot open an upstairs window, and an intruder who gets in elsewhere cannot leave through the terrace door. It fits on the inside of the window or door and needs no wiring.

Is it right for you?

• It suits UPVC windows and patio, balcony and terrace doors whose handle turns 90 or 180 degrees, where the sash has no latch bolt, and which are at least 500 mm wide.
• It is for indoor use only, in the 0 to 50 °C range and away from high humidity, so it is not for a bathroom window that steams up.
• Choose it if codes and nearby Bluetooth control are enough. Locking and unlocking from away from home needs the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge as well.
• For a main entrance door, a full smart lock such as the Yale YDD 724A or YDR 41A is the better choice; this handle is a window and secondary door lock.

Key features

• Up to four 6-digit user codes, so each adult can have their own.
• Built-in Bluetooth 5.2 with a range of up to 15 m, for setup and control from the Yale Home app without any extra module.
• DoorSense tells you in the app when the door or window is not properly closed and locked.
• Runs on two AAA alkaline batteries with an automatic battery warning, so there is nothing to wire.
• Comes with 7 mm and 8 mm spindles in 53 mm and 100 mm lengths, which can be cut to suit the window.
• Certified by SBSC to SSF 3620, the Swedish security standard for this type of product.
• Satin chrome finish.

What else you need

• Nothing extra for keypad use or Bluetooth control with your phone nearby.
• Only if you want to lock or unlock from away from home, you also need the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, which is not included.

Installation

The handle replaces the existing handle on the inside of the window or door and needs no wiring. It fits narrow windows and window doors down to 500 mm wide. Check that the handle turns 90 or 180 degrees and that the sash has no latch bolt, choose the spindle size that matches the gearbox and cut it to length. A window fitter or a confident home owner with a screwdriver can do the job; setup then continues in the Yale Home app.

Software and licences

The Yale Home app handles setup, code management and Bluetooth control, with the phone within 15 m of the handle. With the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge it also works over the internet from anywhere.
