How to change the batteries on your Yale 156 Deadbolt Lock

Which lock is this? The Yale Real Living Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt with Z-Wave Plus (model YRD156). It’s a touchscreen keypad with no keyhole.

Can I change them myself? Yes, in about five minutes. The lock doesn’t need to be paired again, and your codes stay as they are.

You’ll need: four new AA alkaline batteries. Don’t mix old and new.

  1. Unlock the door first so the bolt is pulled back.
  2. On the inside of the door, take the battery cover off the inside part of the lock. (Chad: check how this cover comes off, whether it’s a screw, slides up, or both, and say so here.)
  3. Take out all four old batteries and put in four new AA alkaline batteries, matching the + and − marks.
  4. Put the cover back on.
  5. Test it: lock and unlock it from the keypad, then from the Alarm.com app. The app may take a few minutes to update.

Still showing low battery after a few minutes, or the lock won’t respond? Contact CommTech Systems at 866-729-2853, or ask in the chat for a service request.
