While Yale® has included several features to prevent lockout
(9-Volt battery jumper, low battery warnings), it is still possible
for a lockout situation to occur. Because the YRL256 does not
have a key, Yale® recommends using YRL256 in an environment
where there are additional entry points into dwelling.
