Yale Residential YRD156 ZW2 0BP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Yale YRD156 touchscreen deadbolt have a key override?
No. The YRD156 is 100 percent key free, so there is no cylinder on the outside at all. Yale's reasoning is that a lock with no cylinder cannot be picked and there are no keys to issue or lose. That also means you cannot open it with a key if you forget your code, so if you manage a rental or a building where a master key is part of how you operate, a key free lock is the wrong choice and a keyed electronic deadbolt is what you want.
2) What happens if the batteries die in the Yale YRD156 while I am outside?
You will not be locked out. There are contact terminals below the keypad, and holding a 9V battery against them gives the lock a temporary charge so you can enter your code and get in. Worth knowing before you spec a key free lock, because it is the first question every tenant asks.
3) Will the Yale YRD156 work with my existing alarm or smart home system?
Z-Wave Plus is built into the YRD156, with a single step enrolment process. Yale lists it as working with dozens of Z-Wave Plus smart home and alarm platforms, including ADT, Honeywell, Vera, Qolsys and 2Gig. If your panel is Z-Wave Plus capable, the lock joins it directly with no separate bridge or hub module to buy.
4) Do I need to change the strike or drill new holes to install the Yale YRD156?
It goes into a standard deadbolt prep and installs with just a screwdriver, replacing an existing deadbolt. The strike supplied measures 1 inch by 2-1/4 inches, which is the common residential deadbolt strike footprint, so in most cases the frame mortise you already have will take it. Check that your current strike is that size or smaller before you pull the old lock.
5) What is a comparable electronic deadbolt to the Yale YRD156 if the opening needs a key override?
The YRD156 is 100 percent key free, with no cylinder at all. If the opening needs a mechanical key override, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D electronic deadbolt includes an Electronic Lock Override. Both keep a physical fallback that the key free YRD156 does not have.
6) Is there a mechanical deadbolt equivalent to the Yale YRD156 for doors up to 2-1/4 inches thick?
The YRD156 covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Among mechanical deadbolts, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock lists the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range. Most residential deadbolts, such as the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder, stop at 1-3/4 inches.
7) What is the difference between the Yale YRD156 and the Cal-Royal CRB800 for a commercial entry?
The YRD156 is a residential-rated electronic keypad deadbolt with Z-Wave Plus. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder mechanical deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, so it is the one to look at where a fire rated opening and key operation are required.
8) I need a deadbolt keyed alike with the rest of my units instead of the Yale YRD156. What are my options?
The YRD156 is key free, so it cannot be keyed into an existing system. For keyed alike or master keyed programs, the Deltana CL200LAIC accepts an interchangeable core, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core, and the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway.
9) Is the Yale YRD156 rated for commercial use or apartment entry doors?
Yale classes it as residential. It carries a BHMA Grade 2 certification, which is the mid tier for security, durability and finish, and that is enough for apartment and single family entry doors. For a commercial opening you would move to a Grade 1 mechanical deadbolt such as the Corbin Russwin DL3011 cylindrical deadlock, or to an electronic lock built for multihousing like the Dormakaba Nova-D.
10) Can I give a cleaner or contractor their own code on the Yale YRD156 and delete it later?
Yes. The lock stores unique entry codes you assign per person, and any code can be deleted when that person no longer needs access. For a landlord or property manager that removes the rekey after every turnover, since there is no cylinder to rekey in the first place.
11) What is the difference between the Yale YRD156 and a plain keypad deadbolt like the Delaney KP400?
Both are Grade 2 electronic deadbolts, but the YRD156 is a key free touchscreen with Z-Wave Plus radio built in, so it reports status and can be locked or unlocked from an alarm panel or app. The Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt operated by keypad and a programmable remote, without the smart home network side. Pick the Yale if the lock has to live on a Z-Wave system; pick the standalone if you just want codes at the door.
12) What would I use instead of the Yale YRD156 on a multifamily or hospitality door with card credentials?
The YRD156 is a touchscreen keypad deadbolt with a Z-Wave Plus connection, so entry is by code. For RFID credentials, the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE.
13) The Yale YRD156 is BHMA Grade 2. What deadbolt should I specify if the job calls for Grade 1?
The YRD156 is BHMA Grade 2 certified. Grade 1 mechanical deadbolts in the same tubular category include the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder, the Delaney LM Series less core deadbolt, and the Accentra D111 with a 2-3/8 inch backset. These are keyed mechanical locks rather than electronic ones.
14) Can the Codelocks CL2210 replace a Yale YRD156 one for one?
Not in the same prep. The YRD156 is a tubular electronic deadbolt that drops into an existing standard deadbolt bore and uses a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch strike. The Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, which requires a mortise pocket in the door edge. They are both electronic deadbolts but not interchangeable preps.
15) Does the DynaLock 1300 do the same job as the Yale YRD156?
No. The YRD156 is a self-contained battery operated keypad deadbolt that enrolls into a Z-Wave Plus system. The DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt, which is an access control strike-side device wired to a power supply and released by a controller. It has no keypad or user codes.
16) What finishes does the Yale YRD156 come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
Three finishes: 605 bright brass, 619 satin nickel, and 10BP oil rubbed bronze permanent. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so matching is a matter of specifying the same code on the rest of the opening. The 10BP permanent bronze is the one to pick if you want the dark bronze look without it wearing to brass at the touch points.
17) How do you lock the Yale YRD156 on the way out, and can you read the keypad at night?
Touching the Yale logo wakes the touchscreen, and the same touch throws the bolt behind you, so no code is needed to lock. The keypad is backlit for night use and the numbers are printed behind the screen rather than on keys, so they will not wear off and leave a worn-digit pattern the way a pushbutton keypad does.
18) Is a double cylinder deadbolt an alternative to the Yale YRD156 on a glass-panel door?
The YRD156 is key free with a touchscreen on the outside and no cylinder on either face, so it does not address a reach-through concern the way a double cylinder does. Double cylinder options include the Dexter DB1000 Grade 1, the Callan Model 210S Grade 3, and the Design Hardware D1 Series Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both faces on those require a key.
19) What is a simpler alternative to the Yale YRD156 for an interior or low-traffic door?
The YRD156 is a battery powered electronic touchscreen deadbolt on a metal substrate. For a plainer mechanical install, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn. Neither needs batteries or programming.
