Installation and Programming Instructions for the Yale nexTouch Sectional Mortise NTM6 Touchscreen and Push Button Keypad Lock. This is a highly illustrated mortise lockset guide; the page below focuses on programming, factory settings, and troubleshooting — full illustrated mechanical installation steps (handing, drilling, lockbody, escutcheon assembly) are in the downloadable PDF.

Important Notice

Retrofitting or modifying this product may impact fire rating, safety features, and warranty. Consult code specifications to ensure compliance with all applicable codes and ratings.

Determining Handing

The hand of the door is determined from the secure side (the side from which you unlock and enter). The RED locking slide should face the secure side of the door. The latchbolt's beveled edge must face the strike — see the full PDF for the latchbolt reversal procedure if needed. A key cylinder is used for cylinder-option installations; a thumbturn is used when the mortise lock is equipped with a deadbolt.

Creating the Master PIN Code

A Master PIN Code must be created upon installation or after a factory reset — the lock cannot be programmed or used until this step is completed.

1. Activate the lock (touch the screen).
2. Follow the prompt: "Register Master Code. Press the gear key to continue."
3. Enter a 4-8 digit Master PIN Code, then press the gear key.
4. Indicate deadbolt configuration: press "1" if a deadbolt is installed, or "3" if not, then press the gear key.
5. The lock confirms "Registered" then "Completed."

Max User Codes: 100 without the optional Radio/Network Module, or 500 with the Radio Module installed.

Creating User PIN Codes

The Master PIN code must be created first.

1. Activate the lock, enter the Master PIN code, then press the gear key. Lock responds "Menu mode, enter number."
2. Press "2" for "Register User code," then press the gear key.
3. Press "1" to register a code.
4. Enter a 4-8 digit PIN code, then press the gear key. Lock responds "Registered. Press the check key to complete. Press the gear key to continue."
5. To add more codes: press the gear key again, enter another 4-8 digit code, and repeat.
6. To finish: press the check key — lock responds "Completed."

Locking & Unlocking

• With One Touch Locking Enabled: Enter a registered PIN code and press the check key to unlock.
• Privacy Button: A single press locks the door. Press and hold to activate Privacy Mode.

Resetting the Lock to Factory Default

Warning: Resetting deletes ALL user codes (including the Master PIN code) and resets all programming to factory defaults.

1. Remove the battery cover with the supplied hex wrench and remove the batteries.
2. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the interior escutcheon from the door to access the reset button on the back (cables may stay connected).
3. Reinstall the four AA batteries.
4. Press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds.
5. While still holding the reset button, temporarily remove one AA battery.
6. Reinstall the battery.
7. Release the reset button and wait ~15 seconds — the speaker announces "Welcome to Yale."
8. Reassemble the escutcheon by reversing steps 1-2.

After a reset, creating a new Master PIN Code is the only option available and must be done before any other programming.

Factory Settings

Key Definitions

• All Code Lockout Mode: Enabled by the Master code; restricts all user (non-Master) PIN access. A red locked padlock appears on-screen when active.
• Automatic Re-lock Time: After a successful unlock, the lock automatically re-locks after 5 seconds (or a custom duration set via Menu #3 → #1).
• Eco Mode: Puts the unit in low-power mode to extend battery life.
• Escape Return Mode: When enabled, prohibits automatic locking — the door must be physically manipulated to re-lock once opened from inside.
• Low Battery / 9V Override: Low battery flashes the RED warning indicator. If power is fully lost, apply a 9V battery (either direction) to the touchscreen's override terminals for emergency power, then enter your PIN to unlock.
• Passage Mode: Lock remains unlocked/open until Passage Mode is disabled.
• Privacy Button Mode: With an optional Door Position Switch installed and the door closed, a 3-second press disables all keypad functions until the door opens again.
• Shut Down Time: After 5 failed PIN attempts, the unit shuts down for 60 seconds (keypad flashes during this time).
• Tamper Alert: Sounds an audible alarm if someone attempts to forcibly remove the outside lock from the door.

Programming Troubleshooting
