Hi there, KRISTIN. Thanks for giving us feedback on Nest x Yale Lock. We’re sorry to learn it doesn’t fit your door. The Google Nest × Yale Lock can be installed on most standard doors. However, your door needs to meet certain size requirements. Installation requires precise alignment to connect the parts to your door and each other so you must test and calibrate it. The steps are relatively straightforward, but you must pay attention to the details. Then, connect it to the Nest app so you can control it with your phone. Install the Nest × Yale strike plate that comes with your lock. If you don’t, your lock may jam. While your current strike plate may look the same, the Yale plate is engineered to precisely fit your new lock.

Hello there, Hank. Thanks for your feedback on the Nest x Yale Lock. We’re glad that the installation and setup went easy, but we’re sorry to hear your experience with linking it to Google, along with locking it with the app.

The Nest × Yale Lock requires precise alignment to connect the parts to your door and each other. If the deadbolt catches on the strike plate or if the hole in your door frame is the wrong size for the bolt, the Nest app will show a message saying the lock has jammed. During installation, the Nest app will have you confirm that the bolt can extend and retract without jamming. It’s important not to skip this step. An incorrectly installed lock may jam during use. When the bolt is jammed, you won’t be able to use the Nest app or the keypad to lock or unlock your door. You’ll only be able to use the thumb turn inside your home.

We suggest trying these quick fixes:
- Gently close your door and use the thumb turn inside your home to lock it. If there’s any friction, or if you need to push or pull on the door to get the lock to fully engage, it’s a good sign your deadbolt is misaligned.
- With the door open, extend the deadbolt and clean it thoroughly. Be sure to remove any build-up that may have accumulated.
- With the bolt still extended, spray a graphite lubricant on it. Use the thumb turn to extend and retract the bolt several times.
- From inside your home, close your door and try using the Nest app to lock it. If it works, you can stop here.
- You’ll find more details about troubleshooting using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9235711.

Also, once you’ve set up the lock in the Nest app, it may link automatically in the Home app depending on your settings. To find out if your devices linked automatically:
- Close both the Nest app and Home app.
- Open the Home app Google Home app.
- Check if the devices are listed under a room name or under ""Local devices.""

Hi there, SUNEETHA. Thanks for the feedback, and we’re sorry to hear your experience with the connectivity of your Nest x Yale Lock.

Since the lock won’t link, the first step is to make sure that your border router (Nest Connect) is within range (~50ft direct line of sight) of the Nest x Yale Lock and Wi-Fi router. This range could be shorter if there are potential sources of interference, either physical interference (thickness and type of walls, mirrors, windows, etc.) and competing signals (other wireless devices, baby monitors, microwaves, etc.). If Nest Connect is too far away from your lock, your lock will be offline in the app but Nest Connect will be online. If Nest Connect is too far away from your Wi-Fi router, both Nest Connect and your lock will be offline in the app. Learn how to troubleshoot Nest Connect here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9235363

Hello there, Donnie. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you ran into these issues with your Nest x Yale Lock. Even if the lock is offline, most passcodes will still work. So will the thumb turn inside your home. And when power is out, you can hold a 9 Volt battery on the contacts at the bottom of the lock that will temporarily charge the lock, so you can enter the passcode on the keypad to lock or unlock it.

For questions or concerns about the lock, should you want to try it again in the future, you’re more than welcome to contact us by visiting: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
