Nest x Yale working the wrong way around

A_Kossack

Hello all, 

I bought a second Nest X Yale lock for a secondary door. When I install it, it seems to lock when I put the pass codes in and unlock when I press the Yale button (i. e. the lock thinks it should be on a door facing the other way).

How can I tell the lock to reverse the action?

 

Thank you

Hi Brad - is there a way to tell the lock to change direction? It turns the wrong direction to unlock, I. E. Putting in a pass code locks the door, pressing the Yale button unlocks it. Not ideal...

 

Thank you

Hey A_Kossack,

 

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.
 

I appreciate the help, Brad.

 

Thanks,

JT

Hello, 

 

Sorry, had to wait for the weekend before I was able to try again. 

 

I removed the lock from my Nest app and Re added it, but there was no calibration option. What did I miss? It just hooked up to Nest connect and asked for pass codes...

 

Thank you

Hi there,
 

Got it, thanks for sharing what you’ve tried so far. Could you factory reset your lock and let me know once you’re done?

 

Thanks for chiming in, Archie.
