Thank you!!! This is the best video on yale locks. I tried to Google on snib button, I think you are the only one with the proper instructions on how to use it.
Thank you for your review on the lock, it allowed me to repair mine. I took it off the door to grease it and unknowingly jiggled the mechanism, even though it worked for the first 3-4 days. Luckily someone was in when it eventually broke. Thanks to this video I got inside it and put it back together properly. Thanks again!
Thanks very much for doing this video. I have a similar unit where the spring slipped off and was able to fix it because of this video, so you've just saved me €22 on a replacement unit.
Thank you dude, I used this to fix my father-in-law's lock. Me, my partner, and my kid are using his place for a bit, and we would be without a lock in an area with the highest violent crime rate in my country. Using this video has helped us sleep soundly at night 👍
Would you recommend this for the back door of a garage? There is currently an old style dead bolt on there and how would you recommend installing it? 😀
These locks are considered low security on their own. They are as good as a key in knob cylinder lock. I would use the instructions that come with the hardware when you buy it. They always seem to come with instructions on how to install them. There are also videos by hardware stores and Yale on TH-cam explaning the install too. If your dead bolt is old it might be a different size to new ones. If I were you I would replace the dead bolt with a thumb turn dead bolt or better still, consult a couple local locksmiths and get their advice especially if you are based in the US because they would have a better understanding than I. If you are based in the US, you could ask SE Lock and Key on TH-cam because he is friendly and far more knowledgeable on American locks than me. I will leave a link to a install video of this lock if you are interested anyway. th-cam.com/video/4sYECRnAvxU/w-d-xo.html
i just fitted a new one and the question does the key supposed to turn both clockwise and anticlock wise to open door? Because when i turn the key clockwise the lock doesnt come back out itself. Same thing from the inside aswell. Help
If yours is identical to this one, it should be able to turn clockwise and anti clockwise when you are not using the little switch to lock the bolt outside of the latch or to hold inside the latch. But if you can turn the key in either direction you should be able to unlock it regardless.
Very bad job those with the Oval shape! Just put a Stick in the letterbox and push the oval part to open :0( better with the round shaped type. Very Common attacked about Belfast years ago. Enjoyed the video m8, keep them coming.
Thank you. Like everyone else, watching this assisted me in fixing my lock.
Many thanks for this helpful video. My wife now thinks I’m a mechanical genius and top handyman - for the first time in three decades!
😀

Btw maybe add Yale lock / snib/ instructions to the description/title of the video so it's easier to find. And again thank you for sharing👏
The arrow you can see on the back plate is intended to assist alignment by aligning it with the mark on that centre disc (that rotates)
Sometimes on these it is to enable or disable the deadlocking function from outside
As soon as I got to 3:22 I could see where my 'floating' piece was supposed to fit - thank you SO much ;-)

Glad to help you 👍

Happy to hear it helps 👍🏻
You need some dead locks not just a standard nightlatch.
Absolutely, and use the deadlock. Alot of folks have a deadlock and are too lazy to use it which defeats the purpose
You are my hero 🙏 .. thanks to you, I can now lock up, go to bed and sleep soundly.
Legend xx
Before you tube, once I took the back of a lock off, i was never again able to reassemble the lock. Thanks 😂
Thank you for your tutorial. I was able to fix my house door successfully. 😊❤
Thank you, my lock was giving me headaches and this helped alot in sorting it.
Thank you very much, mine is jammed and I was locked out, got in through the back, I'll give it a go and see if I can repair it. Fab instructions.
These seem to give alot of people trouble. I didn't think this video would be this popular.
I just fixed my front door thanks to this video ❤
Bruhhh, you really helped me with this simple lock. God bless you.
I never really meant for this video to do that but I guess it helped so nothing wrong with that.
Thank you. This saved me a lot of time
Glad you got something useful from this.
We have an old school Lockwood version that looks like that. Good info. Pretty cool. You're pumping out the vids now. 🍺😎
Cheers mate! You helped me to fix that lock.
Good
Very useful!! Thanks a million lad!
Cool to see this from the inside!
Didn't think it would be liked that much...lol
Thank you so much. I was able to open the same lock I have in my room.
Glad to help
Perfect. Thank you so much. I'll definitely subscribe.
I never knew this video would be so useful to people lol.
Can you please explain which arrows need to be lined up as I can see only one arrow? Thanks
This video saved me! Thank you
How did it save you?
thanks, i had a problem and this helped so much!
The wonders of TH-cam,cheers.

Does the lock still work if u dont line the arrows up for the double locking feature
Yes it works as normal but without the ability to deadlock the latch.
i just fitted a new one and the question does the key supposed to turn both clockwise and anticlock wise to open door? Because when i turn the key clockwise the lock doesnt come back out itself. Same thing from the inside aswell. Help
