Yale Assure SL Black New Deadbolt Installation Above Existing Door Knob

We recently completed a new Yale Assure SL smart-ready deadbolt installation above an existing door knob, giving this entry door a clean and modern keyless upgrade.

For this job, a new bore hole was drilled above the current knob to install the Yale Assure SL deadbolt, while the existing door knob was kept in place.

The Yale Assure SL smart-ready deadbolt is a popular choice for Kiwi homes thanks to its slim touchscreen keypad and keyless PIN code access. It gives the door a tidy, modern look without needing to replace the whole handle set.

Adding a smart deadbolt above the existing knob can be a practical upgrade for many doors. The knob continues to work as the passage handle, while the Yale Assure SL provides the main locking function.

For a new deadbolt installation, accurate drilling and alignment are important. The deadbolt needs to line up correctly with the door frame so it can lock and unlock smoothly without rubbing or jamming.

If you’re looking to install a Yale Assure SL smart-ready deadbolt or upgrade your door to a digital deadbolt, we can help check compatibility and recommend a suitable option.
