Why can’t a door handle change with your mood or season like a phone case? Traditional door hardware is permanent. But the new YALIS 262F-C changes that – with snap-on, tool-free interchangeable shells.
Part 1: How Interchangeable Skin Works

| Magnetic | Built-in magnets attach shell to metal core | Fastest, no tools | Magnet may weaken over years |
| Snap-on clip | Elastic clips lock shell to base | Secure, no extra parts | Requires firm press |
| Hidden screw | Tiny screw holds shell | Most rigid | Needs screwdriver |

Part 3: Installation & Shell Swap
First install (same as standard handle):
Determine handing → 2. Install latch → 3. Install cylinder → 4. Insert spindle → 5. Secure inner/outer levers → 6. Test.
Shell swap (the magic part):
Pull bottom edge to release clips → remove old shell → align new shell → press until “click” → done. (30-second video QR in every box.)
Shell swap does not touch any security components – lock body, cylinder, and spindle remain untouched.
