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 this product does not
®
have a mechanical override (a key), Yale recommends to use
this product in an environment where there are additional
entry points into the dwelling.
