Thickness
The Nest × Yale Lock will fit several standard door thicknesses:
- 1 3/8 in (35 mm) thick

- Between 2 - 2 ¼ in (51 - 57 mm) thick

Backset
- Backset refers to the distance between the edge of your door and the center of the hole for your deadbolt. If your deadbolt is more than 2-3/4 in (70 mm) away from the edge of your door, it’s not compatible. You can check the install guide for more information.

A:AnswerThis is a dead bolt so you wont have a handle to open or close the door but other than that it would work. Some smart locks that have handles would work.
A:AnswerYou can use the lock’s keypad to lock or unlock your door from the outside with a passcode. If you’re inside the home, you can turn the thumb turn to lock and unlock your door like a traditional deadbolt lock. Keep in mind that without the Nest Connect, or if you don’t have the lock connected to the app, you won’t be able to manage and control your Nest x Yale Lock through the Nest app or Home app, change settings, nor get notifications.

A:AnswerThe battery in the Yale lock ultimately controls opening the lock. The code that you create for the lock stays in the memory of the lock and is not dependent on the Internet being up or down. If the internet is down, you will not be able to unlock the door remotely but you will always be able to unlock the door if you are in front of it and the batteries are working.
A:AnswerThe hole for the lock to go into has to be pretty deep. Open the door and lock the lock while door is open. Then push to close to closing it. You can then see how far the lock will have to go to work properly. You can also measure the lock will it is sticking open while the door is open the measure the depth of your hole as you likely need a deeper hole. Hope this helps.
