Yale Residential YR70CB-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Yale YR70CB Cambridge entry knob fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bore in an existing door?
Yes. The YR70CB Cambridge keyed entry knobset is built for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, which is the standard prep on nearly every pre-drilled residential and light commercial door. If you are pulling an old knob off a door that already has that prep, the Cambridge drops straight into the same holes with no redrilling.
2) Can I key several Yale Cambridge entry knobs alike so one key opens all my units?
Yes. Keying is a required choice when you order the Cambridge YR70CB: KD keyed different, so each lock has its own key, or KA keyed alike, so a set of them share one key. Property managers running a building of identical unit doors usually take KA for common areas and KD per tenant door. The knobs also come off for re-keying, so a locksmith can pin them to your existing system later without pulling the whole lock out of the door.
3) Is the Yale Cambridge knob keyed on both sides or just the outside?
Single cylinder. The exterior knob takes the key, and the interior knob has push-button locking, so nobody needs a key to get out. That is the entrance function: key or button locks the outside knob, the inside knob always turns free.
4) Is a Grade 2 knob lock like the Yale Cambridge enough for an apartment or office door, or do I need Grade 1?
Grade 2 under ANSI/BHMA A156.2 is the light commercial tier, and the Cambridge YR70CB is built to it. For apartment unit doors, small offices, and residential entries it is the usual spec. Where the door sees heavy public traffic, a school corridor or a busy retail back-of-house, step up to Grade 1: the BEST 8K Series entrance knob lock is a heavy duty Grade 1 single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 storeroom knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Going the other way, Grade 3 sets like the Cal-Royal BER00 or the Kwikset 400P-CP are lighter than the Cambridge.
5) The doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what keyed knob works where the Yale YR70CB Cambridge will not?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker door, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 (COR-CK4851-KEYED) is a Grade 1 entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry and Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Falcon X101 covers the widest span at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, but it is a passage function knobset rather than a keyed entry, so it suits a door that does not need to lock.
6) What is the closest keyed entry knob to the Yale YR70CB Cambridge if I want the same Grade 2 entrance rating from a different brand?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is a Grade 2 knobset with an entrance lock function and a single cylinder. Two Grade 2 entrance knobsets from other brands cover the same rating and function: the Callan Edgewood (CLN-G2KE1001) and the Callan Roland (CLN-G2KR1011), both Grade 2 entrance knobsets. The Dexter C2000 Series entry/office knob lock (DEX-C2000-ENTR-KNB) is also Grade 2 with an entrance/office function, a ball knob, and a non-clutching keyed design, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, matching the Cambridge door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
7) I need a heavier duty keyed knob than the Yale Cambridge YR70CB for a high traffic commercial entry - what steps up?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is a Grade 2 knobset. For a heavier specification, the BEST 8K Series entrance function knob lock (BEST-8K-AB) is Grade 1 heavy duty with an entrance function and a single cylinder. The Corbin Russwin CK4851 (COR-CK4851-KEYED) is a Grade 1 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a Global knob and a conventional cylinder, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, a wider range than the Cambridge span of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Both are keyed entry knobs like the Cambridge; the difference is the grade and duty level rather than the function.
8) The door does not need a key - what should I order instead of the Yale YR70CB Cambridge knobset?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is keyed with a single cylinder, so for an opening that only needs a latch, a passage knob is the right part. The Dexter C2000 Series passage knob (DEX-C2000-PASS-KNB) is Grade 2, non-keyed, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same range the Cambridge covers. The Corbin Russwin CK4410 (COR-CK4410-NONKEYED) is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob over that same thickness range, and the Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage knob lock, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Bravura Albany (BVR-BV335002) is a Grade 2 passage knobset with round trim, which matches the round rose design of the Cambridge.
9) For a bedroom or bathroom, is the Yale YR70CB Cambridge the right lock or should I use a privacy knob?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is a keyed entry knobset with a single cylinder, which means it takes a key on the outside. A bedroom or bathroom door normally takes a privacy knob instead, which locks from inside without a key. Privacy knob options include the Dexter C2000 Series privacy knob (DEX-C2000-PRIV-KNB), Grade 2 and non-keyed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, matching the Cambridge thickness range; the Cal-Royal BER20, a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim over the same thickness range; and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy lockset (PMX-FTF10), Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) The classroom doors need a keyed knob that always stays locked outside - is the Yale Cambridge YR70CB the right function?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is an entrance function knob with push-button locking on the inside, so the occupant controls whether the outside knob is locked. For an opening that must stay locked from the outside at all times, a storeroom function is the correct choice: the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a classroom function specifically, the Dexter C2000 classroom knob lock (DEX-C2000-CLRM-KNB) is Grade 2, keyed and non-clutching, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
11) What comes in the box with the Yale YR70CB Cambridge entry knobset, and do I need to buy a latch or strike separately?
Everything for the opening is in the carton: two knobs, two roses, interior and exterior chassis, the latch, a strike plate, four screws, and two keys. No separate latch or strike purchase. The mounting screws come pre-installed and sit concealed behind the rose, so no visible fasteners on the finished face.
12) What finishes does the Yale Cambridge YR70CB entry knob come in?
Ten, and the range is wide enough to match most existing hardware in a building: 10BP Oil Rubbed Bronze Permanent, 605 Polished Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 613E Dark Oxidized Satin Bronze, 619 Satin Nickel, 620 Antique Nickel, 625 Polished Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome, BSP Black Suede Powder Coat, and GM Gun Metal. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so 626 satin chrome on the Cambridge lines up with 626 on hinges and closers from other makers.
13) I need matching passage and privacy knobs to go with a keyed entry set. Does the Cambridge cover bedroom and closet doors too?
The YR70CB Cambridge is the keyed entry function only, for the door that needs a key. For the interior doors on the same job you want a passage or privacy knob in a matching round rose. The Dexter C2000 Series runs the full set in Grade 2, entry/office, passage, privacy, and classroom, all rated 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors like the Cambridge, so it is a clean way to keep one family across a whole unit. The Corbin Russwin CK4410 is another Grade 2 passage option in that thickness range.
14) Is the Yale Cambridge knob rated for a fire door?
Use a knob lock with a stated fire rating on a labeled opening. Among knob locks that carry one, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock is fire rated with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 knobset is fire rated for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick. Both are passage/closet function, so if the fire door also needs a key you want a keyed lock carrying its own label.
15) Will the Yale Cambridge entry knob work on an exterior door or is it interior only?
It is a keyed entrance lock, which is the function you put on a front door, a back door, or a unit entry. Yale classes it residential and the finish list includes weather-facing options like 10BP oil rubbed bronze permanent and BSP black suede powder coat. The metal chassis and 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thickness range cover a standard 1-3/4 inch exterior slab.
16) Will a dummy knob work in place of the Yale YR70CB Cambridge knobset?
No. The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is a keyed entrance knobset with a latch, strike plate, and two keys in the box, and it bores a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore. A dummy knob has no latch and no working mechanism - it mounts as trim on a fixed or inactive leaf. The Schlage A170 (SCH-A170-NONKEYED), the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim (BEST-6K-1DT), and the Bravura Biloxi (BVR-BV34722) are all Grade 2 dummy knobs, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg dummy pair is a dummy set as well. Order one of those only when the door does not latch.
17) What is a lighter duty keyed entry knob than the Yale Cambridge YR70CB for interior apartment doors?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is a Grade 2 keyed entrance knobset. Grade 3 keyed entry knobs cover a lighter specification: the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Pamex FTF Baron (PMX-FTF-00) is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lockset over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, and the Master Lock BC Series BC01 is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob with a biscuit knob shape. The Kwikset 400P-CP Polo (KWI-400P-CP) is also a Grade 3 keyed entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and ships with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike.
18) I need a knob for a fire rated opening - does the Yale Cambridge YR70CB carry a fire rating?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is a Grade 2 residential entrance knobset that exceeds ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 2 criteria. Where the opening requires a fire rated knob, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage/closet knob lock with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with a fire rating and an interchangeable core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both of those are passage function, so a fire rated opening that also needs to key will take a different function than either.
19) Can I use the Yale Cambridge YR70CB as trim on an exit device?
No. The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is a bored cylindrical knobset that installs through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore and includes its own latch and strike plate. Exit device trim mounts to the device, not as a standalone bored lock: the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with a knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in B design, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim with a storeroom function. Those are not interchangeable with a complete bored knobset.
20) I do not want to issue keys - is there a knob that replaces the Yale YR70CB Cambridge with a code instead?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is keyed with a single cylinder and ships with two keys. Where a code is preferred over keys, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function, fitting doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, a wider range than the Cambridge span of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. It is a mechanical combination unit rather than a cylinder lock, so there is no keyway to key alike with the rest of a Yale set.
21) If I standardize on the Yale Cambridge YR70CB for entry doors, what matching non-keyed knobs cover the interior doors?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is a Grade 2 keyed entrance knobset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, offered keyed alike so a set of entries runs on one key. For the interior doors in the same building, Grade 2 non-keyed knobs at the same thickness range include the Dexter C2000 passage and Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob locks, both 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Arrow RK01 ball knob passage lock, also Grade 2 over that range. The Bravura Lynchburg (BVR-BV336002) is a Grade 2 passage knobset with round trim if the round rose profile matters across the doors.
22) Can I install the Yale Cambridge knobset myself without a locksmith?
It is a straightforward swap on a pre-bored door. The square spindle mounting system means the knobs index onto the spindle without fiddling with alignment, the mounting screws arrive pre-installed, and the chassis goes through the 2-1/8 inch cross bore with the latch into the 1 inch edge bore. A screwdriver and a chisel for the strike, if the frame is not already prepped, is the whole tool list.
23) I want a decorative entry knob rather than the round rose look of the Yale YR70CB Cambridge - what else is a keyed entry knob?
The Yale YR70CB Cambridge is a round design knobset with a round rose and concealed mounting screws, in finishes including 605 Polished Brass, 619 Satin Nickel and 10BP Oil Rubbed Bronze Permanent. For a more decorative entry knob, the Deltana 6901 Portland Knob entry covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same range as the Cambridge, while the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry and the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Among lighter graded decorative options, the Callan Canova and Callan Santo are Grade 3 entrance knobsets, and the Delaney Belton, Galway and Olivia are Grade 3 entrance knobsets as well.
