Yale Unity Entrance Smart Lock - Matt Black
The Yale Unity Entrance Lock is a keyless digital smart lock designed specifically for the Australian market. Its patented digital deadlocking technology locks both the internal and external handles of the door, and an inbuilt LED shows the lock status at a glance in three modes - Unlock (green), Locked (yellow) and Secure (red). This listing is the Matt Black finish.
The Unity Entrance Lock runs on the Yale Home App (available on iOS and Android) 
, giving you app control, one-time and scheduled guest access, and a 24/7 activity trail so you can keep track of who came and went. It also ships with two Yale Contactless Key Tags, and PIN or fingerprint access can be added with the Yale Smart Keypad 2 (sold separately).
Using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS together with the Yale Home App, the auto-unlock feature releases the door as you approach. An inbuilt door position sensor checks whether the door is open or closed, so the lock will not inadvertently deadlock against an open door. For remote lock and unlock from anywhere - plus Apple HomeKit, Google, Samsung and Amazon Alexa smart-home integration and DualDoor pairing with a Yale Unity Security Screen Door Lock - add the Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 (sold separately).
The Unity Entrance Lock is a 100% keyfree lock built on a 60-70mm backset 530 latch platform, meets Australian lock standards AS4145.2:2008 (SL8 Security, D8 Durability), and is certified to BAL-40 Bushfire Level (AS1530.8.1-2007). It is also available in a Silver finish.
360-degree interactive model - click and drag with your mouse to spin the lock in any direction.

Bushfire (BAL-40) rated - not a fire-door lock
The standard Unity Entrance Lock is certified to BAL-40 Bushfire Level (AS1530.8.1-2007) for ember-attack exposure. It is not tested for fire-rated door assemblies. If you need a smart lock for a rated fire door, choose the Yale Unity Entrance Lock Fire Rated (2 hours to AS1905.1-2015) or the Fire Rated with DDA Lever version. See Chapter 05 - Fire Door Smart Locks for guidance.

Full Specifications
Dimensions
Manufacturer dimensional drawing. Furniture height 223mm, width 68mm, lever reach 104mm, exterior module depth 20mm, interior module depth 18mm.
Battery, Power & Backup Access
- Powered by 4 x AA alkaline batteries, included in the box.
- Battery life is approximately 12 months depending on daily usage.
- A low-battery warning is given at 20% remaining, so batteries can be changed before they are depleted.
- The Unity Entrance Lock is 100% keyfree - there is no mechanical cylinder or backup key. Keep the batteries current and enrol more than one credential type (app plus key tag) so you always have a second way in.
- Yale's range feature comparison lists USB-C emergency power for the Unity Entrance range; the individual product data sheet does not itemise an emergency-power port, so confirm the emergency-power method with Yale or Terry's before relying on it.
Remote Access & DualDoor (Connect Plus Hub 2 Required)
Out of the box the Unity Entrance Lock works over Bluetooth with the Yale Home App at the door, and is Apple HomeKit compatible. To lock, unlock, change PIN codes and manage user access from anywhere - and to enable Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and Amazon Alexa voice control - pair the lock with the Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 (YAR/SWAA/HUB/-I-D, sold separately). The hub connects to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. If your router merges 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands this can cause drop-offs - see our guide to Wi-Fi band steering and gateway placement.
The Connect Plus Hub 2 also unlocks DualDoor - a single command opens both your Yale Unity Security Screen Door Lock and this entrance lock together. See Dual Unlock explained.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Unity Entrance Lock need Wi-Fi or a hub?
No - not to operate. Out of the box it works over Bluetooth with the Yale Home App at the door and is Apple HomeKit compatible. Add the Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 (sold separately) only if you want remote control from anywhere, Google/Alexa/Siri voice control, or DualDoor with a Yale screen door lock. The hub joins your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; if a lock keeps dropping off, see why smart locks drop off Wi-Fi.

What is digital deadlocking, and what do the coloured lights mean?
Digital deadlocking (Secure mode) locks both the inside and outside handles so neither opens the door - handy overnight or when you are away - and is set from the Yale Home App or a Contactless Key Tag. The inbuilt LED shows three modes: green (Unlock), yellow (Locked) and red (Secure). On the Fire Rated versions, Secure mode is disabled to meet fire-door requirements.

Can I add a PIN code or fingerprint?
Yes. The lock is app and key-tag operated at the door, and you can add the Yale Smart Keypad 2 (sold separately) for PIN and fingerprint entry, or the Yale Smart Keypad for PIN only. The keypad pairs wirelessly and mounts outside with no hard-wiring, so it can be added to an existing lock at any time. Credential types are compared in Chapter 03 - Access Methods.

Can I use the Unity Entrance Lock on an outdoor gate?
No. It is rated IP54 for entry doors and should not be used where the internal escutcheon is exposed to the weather, such as an open gate - fit it to an entry door with some shelter over the lock. On the coastal Gold Coast, salt air also shortens the life of any electronic lock; see how long digital locks last in coastal environments.

What happens if the batteries go flat - there is no key?
The Unity Entrance Lock is 100% keyfree, so there is no mechanical key. It runs on 4 x AA batteries (about 12 months) and warns you in good time before they are flat. If they do run down, a USB-C power-up port at the bottom of the front body lets you momentarily power the lock from a phone (with a USB-C to USB adapter) or a USB-C power bank and enter as normal.

Additional Information
Internal electronic snib, one-touch locking and the Secure-Mode safety rule
The inside furniture has an electronic snib (button): a single touch locks or unlocks from inside and can engage digital deadlocking (Secure mode), immobilising both handles without reaching for your phone - press it for passage mode on short trips out. Safety note: do not leave the inside handle locked in Secure mode while the home is occupied; only use Secure mode when the building is unoccupied, so no one is prevented from getting out. Why an internal snib needs care: the perils of the internal snib.

Break-in and tamper alarm
The lock monitors for tampering and forced-entry attempts and raises an alert. Because Yale is an ASSA ABLOY brand (not a TTLock lock), the alarm is genuine hardware - you will not get the phantom alerts some TTLock locks produce. A triggered alarm (including a false trigger while installing) can be silenced from the Yale Home App, and every event is written to the 24/7 activity trail. See tamper alert and phantom alerts.

Not Z-Wave or Zigbee - Bluetooth plus the Connect Plus Hub 2
Unlike Yale's Assure Lock series (which accepts plug-in Zigbee and Z-Wave Network Modules), the Unity Entrance Lock talks Bluetooth at the door and reaches the internet, voice assistants and remote control through the Yale Connect Plus Hub 2. If you are weighing Yale's connectivity options, read Yale Network Modules, Zigbee and Z-Wave explained.

Locking, Secure Mode and Safety
What exactly is digital deadlocking (Secure mode)?
It locks both the inside and outside handles so neither can open the door, set from the Yale Home App or a Contactless Key Tag. It is the highest of the three lock states shown by the LED: green (Unlock), yellow (Locked) and red (Secure).

How does the internal electronic snib work?
The inside button manually switches the lock between locked and unlocked, and a single touch can engage deadlocking. Press it for passage mode when you are popping out briefly, so the door stays easy to re-enter.

Is there a safety rule for Secure mode?
Yes - for egress safety, do not leave the inside handle locked in Secure mode while the home is occupied. Only engage Secure mode when the building is unoccupied, so no one inside is prevented from getting out quickly.

Does it lock itself automatically?
Auto-lock can relock the door after it closes, and the door position sensor confirms the door is actually shut first so it will not deadlock against an open door. You can also one-touch lock from the snib on your way past.

Remote Access, Voice and the Connect Plus Hub 2
Why would I add the Connect Plus Hub 2?
The Yale Connect Plus Hub 2 bridges the lock to the internet so you can lock, unlock and manage users from anywhere, receive live activity and low-battery alerts while away, and add Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Siri voice control. Without it, the activity feed only updates when an owner next connects over Bluetooth.

What Wi-Fi does the hub need?
A 2.4 GHz network. Put your phone on the 2.4 GHz band during setup. If your router hides both bands behind one name, band steering can cause dropouts - see why smart locks drop off Wi-Fi.

Is the Unity Entrance Z-Wave or Zigbee compatible?
No. The Unity Entrance is not Z-Wave or Zigbee compatible - it uses Bluetooth at the door plus the Hub 2 for internet and voice. For a Z-Wave or Zigbee home-automation setup, Yale's Assure series takes plug-in Zigbee/Z-Wave Network Modules instead. Full explainer: Yale Network Modules explained and Chapter 08 - Gateways.

Which integrations need the hub?
Google Home and Amazon Alexa both require the hub to talk cloud-to-cloud; remote access and away-from-home activity updates also depend on it. Bluetooth-range control at the door works without it.

Power, Batteries and Resets
How is it powered and how long do batteries last?
Four AA batteries, typically about 12 months, with a low-battery warning in good time. It is 100% keyfree, so keeping fresh batteries and more than one way in (app plus a key tag, or the Smart Keypad 2) is the sensible backup. Battery-life realities: the realities of electronic door locks.

What if the batteries die and I am locked out?
Use the USB-C power-up port at the bottom of the front body: power the lock momentarily from a phone (with a USB-C to USB adapter) or a USB-C power bank, then enter as normal. Hold the connector firmly in the port while powering up.

What does the soft reset button do?
The soft reset button sits next to the USB-C port on the front and simply restarts the lock (like rebooting a phone) - it does not wipe your settings or credentials. It is the first thing to try for a Bluetooth glitch, and can be done from outside the door.

How do I factory reset the lock (and reset a pre-owned one)?
A factory reset erases all owner and guest data and removes the lock from any keychain, returning it to out-of-box state; do it from the Yale Home App settings for that lock (disconnect any paired keypad first, and be in Bluetooth range to re-calibrate). For a previously-owned lock you cannot reset yourself, Yale support can help the original owner release it. Reset walkthrough for the sister Unity model: Unity troubleshooting and reset guide.

How do I set or change the handing?
Both handles are reversible: hold down the metal slide tab on the inside of each handle and rotate to your chosen hand - the rotation should be smooth, and the inside and outside handles must be set the same way. New to handing? See door handing in Australia.

Any installation tips?
Hand both handles before fitting; choose the right spindle for the door thickness (extensions for doors over 40 mm) and the matching mounting screws; feed the Door Position Sensor cable through the door-edge hole and line its magnet up in the jamb; and do not close the door until the batteries are in and tested.

Permanent access for the household, Recurring/scheduled access (for example a cleaner every Tuesday), Temporary date-range access for visitors, and one-time access for a single entry - all without handing over a key, and all logged. This suits short-stay and rental turnovers.

How does auto-unlock work?
Auto-unlock combines Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS geofencing (Home and Away modes) so the door releases as you arrive, hands-free. It needs the Yale Home App running with location and geofencing enabled, and works best once you have genuinely left the home geofence and are returning. It can be switched off if you prefer to unlock on demand.

Can I get notifications and set access levels?
Yes - create Smart Alerts (door locked/unlocked, entry-code use, door-ajar with the sensor, low battery) and door-ajar reminders, and set each user as Owner or Guest with their own schedule. Voice control (Alexa, Google, Siri) is available once the Hub 2 is added.

Troubleshooting
My alarm has been triggered - how do I silence it?
Open the Yale Home App, connect to the lock over Bluetooth and dismiss the alarm from the lock screen; the event stays in the activity trail. A false trigger while installing or handling the lock is normal and clears the same way.

The door status always shows closed even when open
That is the Door Position Sensor needing recalibration or the magnet being out of alignment. Re-run the door-position calibration in the app and check the jamb magnet lines up with the sensor in the door edge.

The latch will not retract, or the lock does not fit correctly
Both usually trace to the spindles not being fully engaged into the latch during assembly (see the assembly step). Re-seat the spindles correctly - forcing a misaligned spindle can damage the lock.

Bluetooth says "Unable to get status"
Try the soft reset button next to the USB-C port to restart the lock, and toggle Bluetooth off and on on your phone. If a grinding sound and error beep occur when operating, stop and check the handing and spindle engagement before retrying.

Suitability and Placement
Where should the Unity Entrance be installed?
On a hinged entry door with some shelter over the lock. It is IP54 (dust and splash resistant), not weatherproof, so keep it out of direct rain and off open gates. IP ratings explained: Chapter 11 - IP ratings.

We are near the coast - anything to watch?
Salt air is the main enemy of exterior hardware. Rinse and wipe the external face periodically and expect salt air to affect longevity; note coastal corrosion is commonly excluded from warranties. See coastal lifespan notes and the realities of electronic locks.
