Yale ByYou Pro Smart Mortice Lock - Matt Black
The Yale ByYou Pro is a premium multi-credential smart mortice lock built to make everyday access effortless. Its headline feature is Grab-and-Go unlocking - the fingerprint sensor is set directly into the handle, so you grasp, touch and go in one motion, hands full or not.
Unlock your way with six credential types: fingerprint (up to 99), PIN code (up to 100), RFID Contactless Key Tag (up to 99 users, four included), mechanical key override, the Yale Home App over Bluetooth 
, and Apple Home Key - tap your iPhone or Apple Watch (Apple Wallet) to enter. A palm touch wakes the keypad, and voice guidance walks you through set-up.
The lock ships in a matt black body with three interchangeable lever finishes in the box (Champagne Gold, Silver and Black), so you can match it to your door straight away. It fits timber and metal doors 40-80mm thick on a 60mm backset mortice, runs on 4 x AA batteries (about 12 months) with a 9V emergency terminal, and carries a genuine break-in / tamper alarm. Add the Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 (sold separately) for remote access and Amazon Alexa, Google and Siri voice control.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Grab-and-Go fingerprint unlocking work?
The fingerprint reader is built into the handle, so your enrolled finger is read the instant you grasp the lever and the door releases in the same motion - there is no separate touchpad step. The lock stores up to 99 fingerprints. See how it compares in Chapter 03 - Access Methods.

Does it support Apple Home Key - and what do I need?
Yes. Add the lock to Apple Wallet and tap your iPhone or Apple Watch on the reader to enter, and it is Apple HomeKit compatible at the lock. You need an iPhone XS or newer on iOS 15+, or an Apple Watch Series 4 or newer on watchOS 8+; a HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV set as a home hub is needed for remote or automated control. There is a step-by-step Apple Home Key registration video in the FAQ tab.

Do I need Wi-Fi or a hub for remote access and voice control?
Not to operate the lock. Out of the box it runs over Bluetooth with the Yale Home App and supports Apple Home Key. Add the Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 (sold separately) only if you want to lock, unlock and manage users from anywhere, and to add Amazon Alexa, Google and Siri voice control. More on gateways in Chapter 08 - Gateway Comparison.

Additional Information
Access methods in depth
The ByYou Pro gives four credentials at the lock - fingerprint (Grab-and-Go, up to 99), PIN code (4 to 10 digits), RFID Contactless Key Tag (up to 99, four included) and mechanical key override - plus two more through the built-in module: the Yale Home App over Bluetooth and Apple Home Key. A single key tag can open any number of ByYou Pro locks, and most standard Mifare cards can be enrolled (some secured cards are restricted). Compare credential types in Chapter 03 - Access Methods.

Mechanical key override and cylinder
Keep at least one mechanical key off-site - the keyhole sits behind the slide-down cover on the front body. Each cylinder has a unique key profile, so it cannot be keyed alike to your existing house keys; if you have bought a home without the previous owner's key, Yale can supply a replacement cylinder with keys. Spare key blanks can be ordered and cut by a locksmith. Background: mechanical key override on smart locks.

Lock modes and the Safe Handle feature
The lock offers two locking behaviours - Automatic (it relocks itself after the door closes) and Manual - selected on a switch inside the battery cover; the auto-relock time is factory-set and cannot be changed. A built-in Safe Handle (child-egress) mode can also be enabled so the inside button must be pressed before the lever will release the door, which is useful in homes with young children (see the Owner's Manual Safe Handle section).

Privacy Mode and Forced Lock
Privacy Mode (Internal Forced Lock) disables the keypad so the door can only be opened from outside with the mechanical key - handy at night or when the home is occupied. External Forced Lock Mode is armed after locking by holding a registered key tag on the reader for five seconds or entering a PIN then holding #; opening the door from inside or by key then triggers the alarm. Read why an internal snib needs care in the perils of the internal snib.

Access and Credentials
What are the access methods on the ByYou Pro?
There are four ways to unlock at the lock itself - fingerprint (Grab-and-Go), PIN code, RFID Contactless Key Tag and the mechanical key override - plus two through the built-in module: the Yale Home App over Bluetooth and Apple Home Key. See a side-by-side of methods in Chapter 03 - Access Methods.

How long can a PIN code be?
PIN codes are 4 to 10 digits, which lets you set memorable codes for family and longer codes for higher security. You can also issue one-time and time-limited visitor codes through the app. A fake-PIN feature lets you pad your real code with random digits so it cannot be read over your shoulder.

How many fingerprints and key tags can I store?
The lock holds up to 99 fingerprints and up to 99 RFID key tags (four Contactless Key Tags are supplied in the box). Add more tags any time from Yale Contactless Key Tags.

Can I use my own cards or tags?
Most standard Mifare cards and tags can be enrolled to the lock. Some secured or encrypted cards are locked to their issuing system and cannot be paired - if a card will not enrol, that is why.

Does the ByYou Pro have face or palm recognition?
No. The ByYou Pro does not use facial recognition, and the palm sensor only wakes the keypad - it is not a palm-unlock credential. If you want 3D face recognition on the same 60mm mortice platform, look at the Yale Luna Pro+, explained in Chapter 06 - Facial Recognition.

How do I connect the ByYou Pro to the Yale Home App?
The Yale module is built into the ByYou Pro, so there is no separate part to fit. Switch the lock into Advanced Mode with your administrator code, activate Bluetooth pairing on the keypad, then follow the in-app steps to register the lock. Choosing a platform? See which smart lock platform is right for you.

What is the difference between Normal and Advanced mode?
In Normal mode you manage user codes, key tags and visitor codes directly at the lock. Advanced mode does everything Normal mode does and additionally registers the built-in Yale module, which unlocks the full Yale Home App experience - remote-ready control, activity history and user sharing.

Remote Access, Voice and the Connect Plus Hub 2
Do I need the Connect Plus Hub 2?
Only for remote features. The lock works locally over Bluetooth without any hub. Add the Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 when you want to lock, unlock and manage users from anywhere and to enable Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Siri voice control.
Only for remote features. The lock works locally over Bluetooth without any hub. Add the Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 when you want to lock, unlock and manage users from anywhere and to enable Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Siri voice control.
How is the Connect Plus Hub 2 different from the older Connect Wi-Fi Bridge?
The single-device Wi-Fi Bridge connects one Yale lock. The Connect Plus Hub 2 supports up to 16 Bluetooth and 30 Zigbee Yale devices with better range, and it is what enables DualDoor. Gateway generations are compared in Chapter 08 - Gateway Comparison.

What Wi-Fi does the Hub 2 need?
A 2.4 GHz network (802.11 b/g/n). Put your phone on the 2.4 GHz band during setup; you can move it back to 5 GHz afterwards. If your router hides both bands under one name, see why smart locks drop off Wi-Fi (band steering).

What happens in an internet or power outage?
The Hub 2 has no backup battery. During an internet or power outage you keep Bluetooth control within range of the lock, but remote access pauses; once power and internet return the Hub reconnects automatically. Your PIN, fingerprint, key tag and mechanical key all keep working regardless.

Does adding lots of devices slow it down?
Past about 10 connected devices you may notice a slight increase in response time. For a busy smart home you can add a second Hub for coverage.

Can I add a Zigbee module or the external Yale Smart Keypad to the ByYou Pro?
The ByYou Pro already has a built-in keypad and module, so it does not use the Yale Zigbee Network Module or the plug-in Yale Home Module (those are for the Assure series), and the external Yale Smart Keypad 2 is a Unity Entrance/Screen Door accessory, not a ByYou part. Module differences are explained in Yale network modules explained.

Module differences are explained in Yale network modules explained.
DualDoor and the Yale Ecosystem
Can the ByYou Pro pair with a Yale screen door lock (DualDoor)?
Yes. With the Connect Plus Hub 2, DualDoor lets one action unlock both a Yale Unity Security Screen Door Lock and your ByYou Pro together - no fumbling for two keys. Pair it with the screen door lock in Matt Black or Silver. How it works: Dual Unlock explained.

Locking Behaviour and Safety
Does the door lock itself after it closes?
You choose. A switch inside the battery cover selects Automatic relocking (the lock secures itself after the door shuts) or Manual. The auto-relock timing is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.

What is the Safe Handle (child-egress) feature?
Safe Handle is a child-safety mode built into the inside handle. When enabled, the button on the inside lever must be pressed before the handle will release the door, which helps stop young children opening the door unaided. It is set up per the Safe Handle section of the Owner's Manual.

What are Privacy Mode and External Forced Lock?
Privacy Mode (Internal Forced Lock) switches off the keypad so the door can only be opened from outside with the mechanical key - useful overnight. External Forced Lock is armed after locking by holding a registered key tag on the reader for five seconds, or entering your PIN and holding #; the lock beeps three times to confirm, and opening from inside or by key then sounds the alarm. Read the cautions in the perils of the internal snib.

Is the break-in / tamper alarm genuine?
Yes. Yale is an ASSA ABLOY brand, not a TTLock lock, so the break-in and tamper alarms are real hardware features that trigger on a genuine attack. You will not get the phantom alerts some TTLock locks produce - background on that here: tamper alert and phantom alerts.

Power and Batteries
How is the lock powered and how long do batteries last?
It runs on 4 x AA batteries, typically about 12 months depending on use, and gives a clear low-battery warning before they run flat. Real-world battery-life factors are covered in the realities of electronic door locks.

Keys, Cylinders and Rekeying
Can the ByYou Pro be keyed alike to my other locks?
No. Each cylinder has its own unique key profile, so it cannot be matched to your existing house keys.

Can I order more keys, or replace the cylinder?
Yes. Order key blanks and have a locksmith cut them, and if you have moved into a home without the previous owner's key, Yale supplies replacement cylinders with keys as a straightforward swap.

Where is the keyhole?
Behind the slide-down emergency cover on the front escutcheon. Keeping a spare key off-site is wise - see where the keyhole is hidden.

Installation, Setup and Videos
Who should install the ByYou Pro?
We recommend a professional locksmith or a confident, advanced DIYer - it is a mortice lock and needs accurate door preparation. Terry's can supply and install: site survey and installation services.

What door does it suit, and is it handed?
Timber and metal entry doors 40-80mm thick on a 60mm backset mortice. The decorative handle is reversible, so it works on left or right-hand doors. Measure first with Chapter 02 - backset, how to measure backset and door handing in Australia.

How do I change the decorative lever finish?
The ByYou Pro ships with three interchangeable lever finishes (Champagne Gold, Silver and Black). Remove the decorative plate with a 2mm hex (Allen) key, then swap the lever. Step-by-step: how to change the decorative plate.

Are there installation videos?
Yes - the official Yale guides: ByYou mortice installation, Apple Home Key registration and changing the decorative plate. Common fitting mistakes are covered in 3 common DIY installation mistakes and Chapter 12 - Installation and Troubleshooting.

How do I factory reset the lock?
Remove the front cover and batteries, press the reset pads while reinserting the batteries, then follow the voice prompts. A reset clears every user code, fingerprint and key tag back to the Master Code only, so you then re-add your PINs, tags and fingerprints in the Yale Home App.

Suitability and Placement
Can I fit it outdoors or on a gate?
No. The ByYou Pro is IPX4 rated for residential entry doors and must not be used where the internal escutcheon is exposed to the weather, such as an open gate. IP ratings are explained in Chapter 11 - Australian Standards and IP ratings.

What does IPX4 actually mean?
IPX4 means the lock resists splashing water from any direction, which suits a covered entry. It is not fully weatherproof - keep it clear of direct rain and sprinklers.

We are near the coast - anything to watch?
Salt air is the main enemy of any exterior hardware. Rinse and wipe the external face periodically, and note that coastal and salt-air corrosion is commonly excluded from smart-lock warranties. See how long digital locks last (coastal) and the realities of electronic locks.

Yale Home App Essentials
How do I give family and visitors access?
From the Yale Home App you can grant Always access, Recurring access (repeating windows, for a cleaner or dog walker) or Temporary access (a one-off or date range for a guest), and revoke any of them at any time - no keys to hand out or get back.

What are auto-lock and auto-unlock?
Auto-lock secures the door after you leave, immediately or after a set delay. Auto-unlock uses your phone's location (Home and Away geofencing) to release the door as you arrive, so you can walk straight in. A door-position sensor also tells you whether the door is actually closed before it locks.

Does it work with Alexa, Google and Siri?
Yes, once the Connect Plus Hub 2 is added: voice control through Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Siri, plus remote lock/unlock and PIN management. Platform detail: Chapter 15 - Yale Home.
