Nest Yale Lock locking backwards

HeyUtahgetmetwo

Hi. I've reset my lock multiple times hoping that it "hands" correctly, but it keeps locking backwards. I read that there was a code to reverse the handing, but that code includes # signs which my lock doesn't help. 

Thanks for the help!!

Hi HeyUtahgetmetwo,

 

I’m sorry for the delay. It looks like your deadbolt isn’t calibrated. When you’re installing your lock, the Nest app will have you check the deadbolt’s calibration. Your door needs to be closed during this step. If your door was open, your lock may not be able to properly calibrate. Without accurate calibration, the Nest app may say that your door’s locked when it’s not, or vice versa.
 

Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:

 

  1. Open your door.
  2. Slowly use the thumb turn inside your home to extend the deadbolt all the way to the locked position, then retract it back to the unlocked position.
  3. Close your door.
  4. Again, use the thumb turn to extend and retract the deadbolt.

If it feels like the deadbolt is sticking or scraping at any point, or if it feels like the deadbolt isn’t able to fully extend when your door’s closed, you may need to make some adjustments.
 

Thanks,

JT
