Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Which lock is best for a front door?
A Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt. For convenience, pair it with a smart lock. YALIS offers integrated solutions.
Q2: Are smart locks less secure than traditional locks?
No – the physical deadbolt is the same. Choose models with a mechanical key backup. YALIS smart locks include a Grade C cylinder.
Q3: What lock should I use for an elderly parent’s room?
A lever handle lock (no twisting). YALIS lever handles are ADA‑compliant and require very little grip strength.
Q4: Can I install a smart lock myself?
Most fit standard doors (35‑55mm thick, 60/70mm backset). YALIS smart locks include installation templates.
Q5: Does YALIS offer a complete hardware package (lock + handle + hinges)?
Yes. We supply coordinated sets for residential and commercial projects. Contact us for bulk pricing.
Q6: What is the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2 for home use?
Grade 2 is sufficient for most homes. Grade 1 is for extra security (e.g., valuable art or high‑crime areas).
