The Yale Approach is not designed to work with an extended backset.
This lock works with the existing door locking mechanism. You just remove the inside locking mechanism for the door lock and replace it with the Approach Lock. The door handle remains separate and untouched. So, your door handle which is seperate from the door locking mechanism, remains untouched and only the inside locking mechanism is replaced by Approach Lock. If your lock and door handle are interconnected this lock won't work. I once had a door mechanism like that where by opening the door from the inside the locking mechanism would unlock the door. This was a safety feature for someone in an emergency to leave the locked house only by opening the door with the inside door handle. This type of door situation is not compatible with the Approach Lock. The door handle and locking mechanism must be separate and not interconnected.
I am not sure what a security door is but if it is like a screen/storm door then one keypad won't open both. i have two separate doors (front door and house garage door) and each one needs it's onw Yale lock and keypad. If I ask Alexa, when I am in the house, to lock or unlock a door, she can unlock either the "front door" or the "garage door" but each requires a separate command. For example I can't ask here to unlock the front door and the garage door in a single command. She will respond with "only one door please" or something like that. So, one Yale lock needs its own keypad. One keypad won't open two Yale locks. As well, each Yale lock needs its own "bluetooth" box plugged into a wall outlet. So one "bluetooth" outlet can't communicate with two separate Yale locks. Hope this answers your question.
The Yale Keypad pairs on a 1:1 ratio with the locks. Each lock will need a dedicated Yale Keypad to operate.
The Yale Approach Lock with Wi-Fi does not support HomeKit or Matter. We offer other lock models that do support based on your smart home setup.
Yes, it works. I have two of them, one for the front door and one for the garage door to the house. I use Alexa to open/lock each door separately. I use the fingerprint pad to open/lock both doors separately and I use the code keypad to do the same. I have even used my front door physical key, on occasion just to be sure that still works for the front door. Alexa, as usual can be a bit flaky at times and if you manually lock the door and ask Alexa if that door is locked, she will often say she can't tell you so I am sure to use Alexa to lock the doors since i want to know if a door is locked at bedtime. I do recommend this Yale lock and I bought it since I wanted to be able to use my physical key in case the batteries died in the lock. The instructions are pretty easy/straightforward but most of it is using your smart phone and so no paper instructions. Hope this answers your question.
The Yale Approach is designed to always work with the physical key
It’s battery powered, so yes.
