Yale YH Collection — Mechanical Interconnected Lockset Installation Instructions

Installation instructions for the Yale YH Collection™ Mechanical Interconnected Lockset — covers door preparation, handing configuration, deadbolt installation (standard, optional, and occupancy variants), lock chassis installation, and cylinder removal for retrofits.

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.

Before You Begin

• Door thickness range: 1-3/8" (35mm) minimum to 1-3/4" (44.5mm) maximum.
• Minimum clearance from door edge: 4-1/2" (114mm).
• Standard mounting height range: 48" max (1219mm) up to 96" max (2438mm) from floor, per typical door hardware placement guidelines.
• Backset (distance from door edge to center of bore): 2-3/8" or 2-3/4", per the included template.

1. Preparing the Door

Using the provided template, mark and drill the door bore holes: a 2-1/8" diameter hole for the lock body, and a 1" diameter hole for the latch/deadbolt bolt, at either the 4" or 5.5" adjustable spacing (matching the product ordered). Drill holes halfway through the door, then complete from the other side, to prevent splitting.

2. Installing Strike Plates

Mount the strike plates to the door frame using the provided 7-16 / 8-32 × 1" UNCWS screws (4 total). The frame requires a 1" diameter × 1" deep hole for the deadbolt and a 1" diameter × 1/2" deep hole for the latchbolt.

Determining Door Handing

Hand is determined from the secure side of the door (the side from which you initially unlock and enter):

• Left Hand (LH): hinges left, opens inward.
• Left Hand Reverse (LHR): hinges left, opens outward.
• Right Hand (RH): hinges right, opens inward.
• Right Hand Reverse (RHR): hinges right, opens outward.

3. Changing Handing (If Necessary)

The lockset can be converted between handing configurations (e.g. 5.5" Left Hand to 5.5" Right Hand) using the 4-24 × 1/4" PPHMS screws (2) and the 6-32 × 1/4" POHMS screw (1, does not come out of the plate). Available lockset handing configurations: 4" Left Hand, 4" Right Hand, 5.5" Left Hand, 5.5" Right Hand.

4. Adjusting Thumbturn Location (If Necessary)

Uses a 6-32 × 1/4" POHMS screw (does not come out of the plate). The 5.5" or 4" thumbturn location is based on the distance between the holes bored in the door (see Step 1 and the template). Turn the thumbturn to ensure the plate tab fits into the hole on the escutcheon.

5. Installing Fire Cups

Both Fire Cups and a UL-marked latchbolt must be used to qualify for UL listing. Install the fire cups on the inside of the door per the diagram positions.

6. Adjusting Deadbolt Latch (If Adjustable Latch Provided)

The deadbolt latch can be adjusted between a default 2-3/8" (60mm) backset and an optional 2-3/4" (70mm) backset by rotating the latch 180°.

7. Installing Deadbolt Latch & Latchbolt

Secure with 7-16 / 8-32 × 1" UNCWS screws (4). The bolt must be in the proper position before installing — refer to Step 8 for the applicable deadbolt type. Add the sleeve to the latch to accommodate the 1" (25mm) diameter door prep.

8. Installing the Deadbolt (Choose the Applicable Type)

Standard Exterior Deadbolt

For YR852 & YR872 functions with KW, Schlage® C, or Yale Para keyways. Uses M6×55 PPHMS screws (2). Retract the bolt before installing — the bolt must be in the retracted (unlocked) position.

Optional Exterior Deadbolt

For YR852 & YR872 functions with Yale Commercial & Arrow keyways or SFIC. Uses 1/4-20 × 2-3/8" PPHMS screws (2). Extend the bolt before installing — the bolt must be in the extended (locked) position.

Occupancy Exterior Deadbolt

For the YR853 function. Uses 1/4-20 × 1-3/4" LHSCS screws (2). Extend the bolt before installing — the bolt must be in the extended (locked) position.

9. Installing the Lock Chassis

Secure with 10-32 × 1-1/2" PPHMS screws (2) on the inside of the door. The bolt must be in the proper position — refer to Step 8 for the deadbolt type used.

10. Securing the Back Plate to the Door

Use M4 × 14mm PFHMS self-tapping screws (2). Drill two 1/8" pilot holes for the screws before installing. Two M4 × 14mm self-tapping screws must be used to qualify for UL listing. Confirm the bolt is in the proper position per Step 8.

After this step, test deadbolt and latchbolt operation from the outside of the door before proceeding.

11. Installing the Interior Escutcheon

Secure with 10-32 × 5/8" POHMS screws (2). Escutcheon orientation must match the exterior side. Turn the thumbturn to adjust slot orientation before installing.

12. Installing the Interior Lever

Attach the interior lever to complete the assembly.

Final Testing

Test the latchbolt operation from both the inside and outside of the door. Test the deadbolt operation from the outside of the door. Once both function properly, installation is complete.

Cylinder Removal (Kwikset, Schlage, Para) — Retrofit / Face-Removable Deadbolt Only

When the Cylinder Is Installed on the Door

1. Insert the key into the lock.
2. Press the cylinder removing tool into the small hole on the cylinder face and turn the key counter-clockwise; this rotates the cylinder face slightly to the left.
3. Once turned off-center, pull on the key to remove the cylinder.
4. Remove the plug assembly from the cylinder housing for re-keying.

When the Cylinder Is NOT Installed on the Door

1. Remove the loose plate from the back of the cylinder.
2. Two screws hold the metal strap in place. Under the "C" cutout in the strap is a semicircular indentation in a spring-loaded tab. Using the cylinder removing tool (wire with loop) or a screwdriver, place the tool tip against the tab in the indentation, push toward the center, and turn clockwise.
3. This moves the cylinder and strap to the left. Once all the way left, push the cylinder out of the housing. (It may be necessary to insert the tool into the gap created on the right side to force the cylinder to the left.)
4. Remove the plug assembly from the cylinder housing for re-keying.
