What does a 64mm backset mean?
The backset is the measurement from the edge of the door to the center of the lock's keyhole or spindle. A 64mm backset means the center of the hole is 64mm from the door's edge.
How many keys are supplied with the lock?
The deadlock is supplied with two standard Yale keys.
Can I get extra keys made?
Yes, additional replacement keys can be ordered from a local locksmith.
What is the guarantee period for this product?
This Yale Essentials deadlock comes with a 2-year guarantee from the date of purchase.
Is this lock suitable for bathrooms or toilets?
While it can be used for privacy, it does not have a built-in emergency release mechanism. For bathrooms or toilets, consider locks specifically designed for these areas.
Troubleshooting
Lock is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the deadlock is correctly aligned within the door mortice and the strike plate on the frame. Lubricate the keyhole lightly with a graphite lubricant (not oil-based).
Key does not turn smoothly
Check for any obstructions in the keyway. Ensure you are using the correct Yale key. If problems persist, a replacement key might be needed or consider professional assessment.
Bolt does not engage correctly
Verify that the door and frame are properly aligned and that the strike plate is positioned accurately to receive the bolt. Adjust the strike plate if necessary.
