Yale YMI70A-YH Push-Pull Smart Door Lock with Yale Home Kit

Overview

The Yale YMI70A-YH is a push-pull smart lock for the main door of a home or office: a single push or pull on the handle bar opens the door, which is handy when you come in with your hands full. It opens by one-touch fingerprint, personal identification number (PIN) code, radio frequency identification (RFID) card or a mechanical key, and this YH version comes with the Yale Home kit for app control, visitor codes and alerts.

Is it right for you?

• It fits a wooden door 40 to 100 mm thick with a 60 mm backset and a mortise lock case; confirm the door thickness before ordering.
• Choose it if you want app control from day one: the Bluetooth module and Wi-Fi bridge are in the box.
• If you want a remote control or a link to a video door phone, budget for the YRM 20N receiver module and, for the door phone, the YRM 20 AMC as well.

Key features

• One-touch fingerprint reading and a backlit keypad with fake PIN entry, so extra digits can hide your code.
• Auto lock about 5 seconds after the door closes, with a manual mode available.
• One-time visitor codes, and a lost card can be cancelled without changing the lock.
• Break-in alarm and a forced-lock alarm mode for when you are away.
• Runs on AA alkaline batteries for about 3,500 open and close operations, with an audible and visual low battery warning and a 9 V terminal for emergency power.
• Yale Home Bluetooth module and Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge (2.4 GHz) included for app control at home and away.
• Hardened SS 304 bolts; front body 77 x 397.4 x 71.4 mm and main body 77 x 396.7 x 78 mm; two mechanical keys.
• Finishes: Matt Black, Red Bronze and Champagne Gold.

What else you need

• AA alkaline batteries.
• 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi and a smartphone for the Yale Home app; the Bluetooth module and Wi-Fi bridge are in the box.
• Only if you want a remote control: the optional remote plus the YRM 20N receiver module.
• Only if you want to release the door from a video door phone: the YRM 20N receiver module in the lock and the YRM 20 AMC transmitter module at the door phone.

Installation

A locksmith or door hardware installer should fit it. The job involves cutting the wooden door for the mortise lock case at a 60 mm backset, fitting the front and main bodies, then enrolling fingerprints, PIN codes and cards and pairing the Yale Home app through the included kit.

Software and licences

The Yale Home app, a free download, works through the included Yale Home Bluetooth module and Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge for locking, unlocking, visitor codes and alerts at home and away.
