    How to Check Your Door

    • Measure the door thickness at the location where the lock will be installed.
    • Measure the existing cross-bore hole diameter (if retrofitting) to confirm it meets the 2-1/8" minimum where required.
    • For deadbolt and interconnected combo installs, measure the center-to-center distance between the deadbolt and lever/knob bore holes — most Yale products support 4" standard, with 5.5" also available on select interconnected models.
    • If your door doesn't meet these specs, consult a locksmith or door professional before ordering — some products offer adjustable backset/spacing options.
