Yale Residential YRL216-NR-619 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever for a left hand or right hand door?

No handing to specify. The Assure Lever is reversible and works on left hand or right hand doors, so one part number covers both swings. The same unit also covers either standard backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so you are not committing to a backset at the order form either.

2) What is the difference between the NR, CBA and ZW2 versions of the Yale Assure Lever?

That option decides how the lock talks to anything outside the door. NR is standalone: keypad only, no radio, and it can be upgraded with a Yale Smart Module later. CBA is the Connected by August build, which brings the lock onto the Yale Access app. ZW2 is Z-Wave Plus, for pairing to a compatible Z-Wave hub or alarm panel such as SmartThings, Ring Alarm, ADT, Alarm.com, Qolsys or Honeywell; that route needs the hub and its app, not a Yale app. All three keypad functions (codes, auto-lock, one-touch locking) work the same regardless.

3) Can the Yale Assure Lever be keyed alike with the other locks on my building?

It uses a KW-1 5-pin cylinder, the Kwikset keyway, so a locksmith can key it into an existing KW-1 system. Keyed alike and keyed different are both orderable, so a set of doors can be pinned to one key at the time of order. Two physical keys ship with the lever, and there is a 9V contact on the keypad if the batteries die.

4) Is the Yale Assure Lever rated for commercial use, or is it a residential lock?

Residential. The Assure Lever is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and catalogued for residential openings, which suits multi-family units, single-family rentals and light-traffic side doors. For a commercial opening under real traffic, a Grade 1 cylindrical lever is the right class of product: the Corbin Russwin CL3110 and the Falcon K101 are both Grade 1 cylindrical levers, and the Falcon covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Neither is a keypad lock, so if you need code access on a commercial door that is a different search.

5) What other electronic keypad lever locks are there besides the Yale Assure Lever?

Two close alternatives. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, also Grade 2, and is the straight equivalent if you just want code entry with no smart-home tie-in. The Lockey 1150 is a mechanical keypad lever, no batteries and no electronics at all, and it covers a much wider door range at 1-1/8 to 2 inches. Pick the Lockey when the door is thin, thick, or somewhere you do not want to change batteries; pick the Yale when you want remote control or app-managed codes.

6) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Yale Assure Lever YRL216 work?

No. The Assure Lever tops out at 1-3/4 inches; its range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4. For a 2 inch door you need a lockset rated that far, such as the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever at 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever at 1-3/8 to 2 inches, or the Lockey 1150 keypad lever at 1-1/8 to 2 inches if code entry is the point.

7) My door is 2 inches thick - the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever will not fit, so what lever will?

The YRL216 Assure Lever is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch door needs a different body. The Hager 2510 passage lever and Hager 2580 storeroom lever with Withnell lever both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Deltana's Manchester 6201, Morant 6411 and Linstead 6431 entry levers also cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On the Grade 1 side, the Dexter C1000 asylum lever spans 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage lever is built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. All of these are mechanical, so keypad entry does not carry over.

8) What is a mechanical alternative to the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever keypad lock if I do not want batteries or electronics on the door?

The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in a passage function, so the code is entered on a mechanical pushbutton keypad with no battery, no wiring and no smart module. It fits doors from 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick, which covers a wider range than the YRL216's 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Note the function difference: the 1150 is passage function, so it is code entry on the outside without the keyed override and the 250 user codes the YRL216 carries.

9) I need a keyed lever on a commercial door instead of a keypad - what takes the same single hole prep?

For a keyed mechanical entry lever, the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick - the same door thickness range as the YRL216 Assure Lever. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Keyway is the deciding detail: the YRL216 is cut to KW-1 5 pin, so an AG00 or a Schlage C keyed building will not key alike with it.

10) The Yale YRL216 Assure Lever is Grade 2 residential - what should I use on a high traffic commercial opening instead?

Step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever. The Dexter C1000 Series Grade 1 entry/office lever is keyed with a clutching lever and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness window the YRL216 covers. For a classroom function on the same body, the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is also Grade 1 clutching keyed. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock, non-handed and fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The YRL216 is a Grade 2 lock catalogued for residential use, so on a heavy traffic commercial opening these are the heavier bodies.

11) The opening needs a fire rated lever - does the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever cover that?

For a fire rated opening, look at the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, which is fire rated and non-handed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, which is fire rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The YRL216 Assure Lever is a Grade 2 residential keypad lever for standard interior and exterior doors with a single hole prep, so on a rated opening the Falcon or Corbin Russwin body is the one to spec.

12) I want access control wired to the panel rather than a battery keypad - what replaces the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever?

For a wired opening, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock running on 12VAC/DC, offered with an NZ lever and D rose, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. That is a hardwired lock released by the access control system. The YRL216 Assure Lever takes the opposite approach - it is battery powered with a backlit keypad and joins a system wirelessly through a Z-Wave Plus or Connected by August module, so no wire is pulled to the door.

13) Can I add Wi-Fi or a smart hub to the standalone Yale Assure Lever later, or do I have to buy the connected version up front?

You can start standalone. The NR build works as a keypad lock on its own and accepts any Yale Smart Module afterward, including the Yale Access upgrade kit for Wi-Fi, app control, auto unlock over Bluetooth and voice assistants. Buying CBA or ZW2 up front just saves the second step. Property managers often take NR for units where nothing is networked yet, then add the module on the doors that need remote code management.

14) How many entry codes can the Yale Assure Lever hold, and can I give a cleaner or contractor a temporary one?

Up to 250 unique codes, each 4 to 8 digits, and they can be added or deleted at any time. Permanent, scheduled and temporary codes are all supported, which is how most landlords handle turnover, cleaners and trades without rekeying. Auto re-lock, privacy mode and tamper alarms are optional settings on top of that.

15) Do I need a keyed cylinder on a keypad lever, or is key-free fine?

Both exist in the Assure Lever line. The keyed build carries a KW-1 5-pin cylinder and ships with two physical keys, which is the safer choice on an exterior or garage entry where a dead battery would leave someone outside. Key-free suits interior rooms and home offices where nobody is getting locked out of the building. The keypad also has a 9V jump contact either way.

16) Does swapping in a Yale Assure Lever require drilling or a new door prep?

Not on a standard bored door. It drops into the existing prep left by a knob or lever, so long as that prep is the usual 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, and the door is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Installation is a screwdriver job. Where it will not go is a door already prepped for a separate deadbolt above the lever, since the Assure Lever is a single-hole lock and does not fill that second bore.

17) I need the doors around the keypad opening to match - what non-locking levers pair with a Yale YRL216 Assure Lever run?

Use passage and dummy levers on the openings that do not need to lock. Passage options include the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage/closet lever, the Accentra 4601LN Grade 2 passage lever with Augusta trim, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock, and the Falcon B101 Grade 2 non-handed passage lever. For a closet or a fixed pull, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim lever is Grade 2 non-keyed and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. These are all Grade 2, matching the YRL216's Grade 2 certification. Confirm finish separately, since these are different manufacturers than the Assure Lever's 619 satin nickel, 605 polished brass, 10BP oil rubbed bronze and BSP black suede offerings.

18) Can I put a Schlage cylinder in the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever using the Accentra 107S adapter kit?

No. The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware in a Grade 1 apartment exit/public toilet function - it is a commercial cylindrical lock component, not trim for a residential Assure keypad lever. The YRL216 Assure Lever is supplied with a KW-1 5 pin cylinder in its keyed configuration. If you need the opening on a Schlage C keyway, change the lock rather than the cylinder: the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and AG03 classroom lever are cut to a 6-pin Schlage C keyway.

19) What keyed mechanical lever gives a storeroom function instead of the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever keypad?

The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, matching the YRL216 Assure Lever's door thickness range. The Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is also a Grade 2 storeroom lock, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times and requires a key each entry, where the YRL216 is opened by a code on the keypad or by its KW-1 key.

20) Which lever should I use on an institutional or utility door where the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever is not the right function?

For asylum, institution and utility function, the Dexter C1000 Series F87 asylum lock is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty asylum cylindrical lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder on a Schlage C keyway. Both are keyed on both sides, which is the behavior an institutional opening usually calls for and is different from the YRL216 Assure Lever, a Grade 2 residential keypad lever with a single keyed cylinder.

21) What is the difference between the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever and a Grade 3 entrance lever like the Callan Artino?

The Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The YRL216 Assure Lever is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2, a step above Grade 3 on the BHMA scale, and it is opened by a backlit keypad code rather than a key alone. If the opening also needs a deadbolt, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset and deadbolt combo, whereas the Assure Lever is designed for single hole doors with no deadbolt prep.

22) Will the Yale Assure Lever match the finish on the rest of my doors?

Four finishes are offered: satin nickel (619), polished brass (605), oil rubbed bronze permanent (10BP), and black suede powder coat (BSP). Each is available across all three technology builds, so you are not forced into a finish by the module choice. The lever is metal-bodied and carries a rubber gasket at the door face so it does not scuff the door finish when it seats.

23) I want a decorative lever with the same look on both sides of the door - what pairs with the Yale YRL216 Assure Lever approach?

For decorative openings, Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered as a passage lever, a privacy lever, and left hand and right hand half dummy levers, all with the 5048 rose, so a run of doors carries one lever design across functions. Emtek's Athena and Helios cast stainless steel leversets and the Arts and Crafts and Hammered leversets are sold as dummy pairs for both faces of a fixed door. These are mechanical decorative trim; the YRL216 Assure Lever is the keypad opening in that run, and its reversible handing means it fits either a left or right hand door without a hand-specific part number the way the Baldwin half dummies do.
