Yale Assure Lock 2 Touchscreen Bundle: Norwood Lever Setup

Quick answer

The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touchscreen bundle with Norwood Lever is designed for DIY installation on a standard front door. Follow these steps to mount the touchscreen keypad, pair the lever, and test the smart lock features.

Step-by-step installation

1. 1. Remove existing hardware: Take off your old deadbolt or lock and lever. Mark the screw locations for reference later. Remove the old latch and strike plate. Check that the bore holes are 2-1/8" for the body and 1" for the latch. If not, contact a professional.
2. 2. Install the latch and strike plate: Insert the latch so the beveled side faces the door frame. Secure it with the included screws. Mount the strike plate on the door frame, aligning it with the latch. Tighten screws just enough — over-tightening can warp the metal and cause the latch to drag.
3. 3. Mount the exterior keypad assembly: Feed the cable from the exterior keypad through the center bore hole. Place the mounting plate against the door and secure with the provided screws. The cable should lie flat without kinks. If the gasket is not flush against the door, moisture can enter — reposition until it seals completely.
4. 4. Attach the interior escutcheon and lever: Connect the cable from the exterior to the interior escutcheon connector. Press the escutcheon flat against the door. Insert the Norwood lever through the interior side and secure it with the set screw using the included hex wrench. Do not pinch the cable between the escutcheon and the door. A pinched wire will cause intermittent failures.
5. 5. Insert batteries and test manually: Install four AA batteries into the interior compartment. Replace the battery cover. Test the lever operation — the interior lever should retract the latch smoothly, and the exterior lever should feel solid. If the lever feels loose after testing, recheck the set screw. A loose lever may wear down the mechanism over time.
6. 6. Pair with the Yale Access app: Download the Yale Access app on your smartphone (iOS or Android). Create an account or sign in. Tap "Add Device" and scan the QR code on the interior escutcheon or manual. Follow the in-app prompts to connect to Wi-Fi. Place your phone 5–10 ft from the lock during pairing to avoid connection timeouts.
7. 7. Configure Auto-Lock and DoorSense: In the app, enable Auto-Lock and set the delay (default is 30 seconds). Calibrate DoorSense by opening and closing the door as prompted — this ensures the lock knows when the door is fully shut. If Auto-Lock fails to engage, re-calibrate DoorSense. An uncalibrated door will not trigger the auto-lock reliably.
