Preparation: What You’ll Need

Before you begin installation, gather the following tools and materials:

How to Install Your WiFi Lock

  • The YORFAN WiFi lock package (including lock, screws, and accessories)

  • Phillips-head screwdriver

  • Drill (if new holes are required)

  • Measuring tape

  • Smartphone with the YORFAN Smart Lock app installed

  • Stable WiFi connection

Ensure your door is compatible with the lock model. YORFAN provides detailed compatibility charts for various door types and thicknesses. If you have any doubts, consult our customer support for guidance.


Step 1: Remove Your Old Lock

Start by removing your existing door lock. Use the screwdriver to unscrew the interior and exterior parts. Carefully detach the lock and set aside the old components. Clean the door surface to prepare for your new YORFAN WiFi lock.

Tips for a Smooth Removal

  • Keep all screws and parts organized to avoid losing any components

  • If your old lock was electronic, disconnect any wiring safely

  • Check for any damage or wear on the door before installation


Step 2: Install the YORFAN WiFi Lock Hardware

Follow these steps to mount your new smart lock:

  • Align the lock: Position the exterior part of the YORFAN lock on the outside of your door. Make sure the spindle fits through the latch hole.

  • Attach the interior assembly: Secure the interior part of the lock using the provided screws. Tighten them firmly but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the lock or door.

  • Test the mechanical operation: Before moving on, check that the latch and deadbolt move smoothly when you turn the handle or knob.


Step 3: Connect to WiFi and Set Up the App

Now it’s time to bring your lock online. Download the YORFAN Smart Lock app from the App Store or Google Play. Create an account or log in, then follow the in-app instructions to connect your lock to your home’s WiFi network.

WiFi Lock Setup Tips

  • Ensure your phone is connected to the same WiFi network you wish to use for the lock

  • Keep the lock close to your router during setup for strong signal strength

  • Follow the app prompts to complete pairing and registration

Once connected, you can customize access codes, set up notifications, and monitor lock activity from anywhere. This is where the true smart lock experience begins!


Step 4: Test and Troubleshoot

With installation complete, test all lock functions:

  • Lock and unlock using the app

  • Try entering a PIN code if your lock supports keypad entry

  • Check the mechanical backup key

  • Verify that notifications and logs appear in the app

If you encounter any issues, consult the troubleshooting section in your YORFAN manual or reach out to our technical support team. Most problems are easily resolved by resetting the lock or adjusting WiFi settings.
