PREPARE THE INSTALLATION
Onefit
Note the model and handing of your door’s current lock body.
Compare the bolts and latches of your current lock body to those of
the BL907 and change its handing, if necessary. Replace the face
plate with the Onefit model, if necessary.
Old lock body
ABLOY 4190 or LC100: use the short face plate.
ABLOY LC190 or LC102: use the long Onefit face plate.
Avoid overtightening the screws – excessive force may damage the
lock body’s screw threads!
If the old lock body is not listed above, the door may need to
be modified and the installation will therefore differ from these
instructions. In this case, we recommend that you use your local
Abloy-authorised Yale Partner for installation. Visit yale.fi to find your
nearest local partners.

PREPARE THE INSTALLATION
The outside unit is mounted with four snap-off screws that span the depth of the door.
• Cut two of the screws (A) to exceed the depth of the door by one section (groove).
• Cut the other two screws (B) to match the depth of the door.
• Set the screws aside.

Place the longer snap-off screws
in the outside unit’s middle
screw towers and screw them in
by a couple twists.
Do NOT tighten the screws yet!
Place the outside unit with screws on the door. Thread the cable and screwheads above
the lock body. Next, thread the wire harnesses through the opening in the insulation
block and push in the insulation block. The snap-off screws pass through the two cut-off
channels in the insulation block.
Also insert the handle hole insulation block inside the door – note the position of the screw
holes in relation to the lock body’s holes.

The insulation blocks
reduce the amount
of airflow trough the
holes on the door. This
prevents moisture and ice
forming inside the lock
in abnormally difficult
weather circumstances
and in houses that have
high under pressure or over
pressure inside the house
due strong ventilation.

Thread the two shorter
snap-off screws through
the mounting plate and
lock body to connect the
mounting plate to the
outside unit through the
door.
Tighten the screws lightly.

Locate the support plate on
the upper screws by sliding
the support plate downwards.
The snap-off screws should
set into their corresponding
notches. Check that the
cables run as pictured, below
the slots on the sides.
Fix the support plate in place with the included
screw and make sure to leave the cables free. Now
screw in the snap-off screws. Take turns in turning
the upper and lower screws. Avoid turning too much
at a time to allow an even tightening of the outside
unit and (inside) mounting plate. Tighten down the
screws just enough to secure the mounting plate
in place. Overtightening the screws may warp the
mounting plate.

Connect the wire harness connectors
to the inside unit. Install the white
connector on the white header and the
black connector on the black header. The
connectors will only seat in the correct
orientation.
Place the inside unit on its
mounting plate bottom first.
Avoid leaving any cables pinched
under the edges.
The inside unit is secured to
the mounting plate with four
M4×8 screws.

Take the prepared handles and mount them on the door.
• Outside: use the square spindle.
• Inside: use the correct length of spindle according to door depth.
To properly install the spindle on the inside, first push the spindle
separately through the inside unit into the lock case marking sure
the spindle penetrates the insulation block and connects to the
lock case. Then mount the inside and outside handles by forcefully
pushing them in place. The handles will attach on the units.
Check that both handles operate as they should and
remain firmly in place.
• The handles must be easy to operate. The inside
handle must only open the door when the
handle’s button is held down. If the handle can
open the door without the button being held
down, check the length of the inside handle’s
spindle and use a different length, if required.
To replace the spindle, remove the four M4×8
screws installed in step 11 to remove the inside
unit.

SET THE ADMINISTRATOR CODE
1. Keep the door open.
2. Install the batteries in the inside unit. The lock will request a master code.
• Enter a code of your choice with the keypad (610 numbers).
Please note that the length of the lock’s user codes will be the same as the
master code!
• Rotate the thumbturn towards the door frame to confirm the code.
• Keep the door open and test the lock’s operation by following the instructions on
the next page.
3. Write down the master code – you will need it to change the lock’s settings.

18
After you have set the master code, keep the door open and
test its operation as follows:
1. Press in the trigger bolt and keep it pressed in during
the test. If the trigger bolt is released during the test the
burglary alarm of the lock can trigger. You can stop the
alarm by entering the master code and pressing the .
2. Rotate the thumbturn back and forth twice.
3. Rotate the thumbturn to the locked position.
• Test the lock by pressing the outside handle – the bolt
should remain extended.
4. Enter the master code on the keypad and press to
open.
• Test the lock by pressing the outside handle – the bolt
should retract inside the lock body.
5. You can now release the trigger bolt. Press the handle
again to retract the bolt from the deadlock position.
If the lock operates correctly, you may close the door and
continue to the next page. If there were problems with
the lock’s operation, see the next page and the end of the
manual for troubleshooting tips.
Install the rubber plugs over
the sunk screws.

POST-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
• Check that the thumbturn moves easily and both locks and unlocks the lock. If the thumbturn
drags or hitches, check that the inside unit’s wires are not interfering with the thumbturn.
• Check that the handles move easily and return to the horizontal position.
• If this is not the case, remove the unit from the door and try moving the handles again. Double-
check the length of the spindle, if necessary.
• Check that the lock body’s bolt can be operated with the inside handle. If this is not the case,
check that the side selection screw is positioned correctly in the lock body.
• Make sure that all users know how to use the auxiliary power function (9-volt battery) and the
Reset button.
• For more troubleshooting tips, see the end of the manual.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, LOCK OWNER
After 12 months from installation:
• Check the tightness of the snap-off screws and adjust
them, if necessary (instructions on page 14).
• Check the gap between the door and the strike plate
(instructions on page 4) and adjust the door or strike
plate, if necessary.
Because the door and frame may deform over time,
the tightness of the aforementioned screws should be
checked every two years after this point.
Never apply oil to the internals of the lock body – oil can
damage the electronics. Never disassemble the product
or its components. This may void your warranty and
damage the product.
If you need to clean the lock’s surfaces, we recommend a
damp microfibre or cotton cloth. Never aggressively scrub
the product or use aggressive cleaning agents.
ABOUT BATTERIES
This product uses four 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries (note
operating temperature). Always change all four batteries
at the same time when you see the “battery low” warning.
Never mix batteries of different make or model. Never
allow batteries to run completely dry – this may damage
the product.
Make sure to insert the batteries in the correct orientation
(polarity, +/-) when changing batteries. Only use high-
quality alkaline batteries. Rechargeable batteries are
not compatible with this product. Always recycle used
batteries.
Please note that leaving the door open for an extended
period in cold weather may chill the batteries and even
temporarily prevent the lock from operating. Normal
operation will resume once the batteries are back to
operating temperature.
