This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 57 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Yale Locks call center opens before trying to call.

An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Yale Locks phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Yale Locks staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Yale Locks is Tuesday. The most busy day to call is Wednesday, which averages 167% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 57 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Yale Locks

In summation, the best day to call Yale Locks is Tuesday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Yale Locks staffs the call center well on Tuesday.

What Can't Be Resolved With a Call to Yale Lock Customer Service?

If you purchased your product through a third-party retailer, Yale Lock customer service may have limited powers to deal with any problems you are having with the retailer. In addition, if your product or service is incompatible with other devices in your home, a customer service agent may be able to recommend a workaround, but will not be in a position to completely resolve the issue. You may have to work with the manufacturer of the third-party device to address the issue.

What Should You Do If You Have an Unsuccessful Call with Yale Lock?

If you get off the phone with Yale Lock can feel as though your questions were not answered or your concerns were not resolved, don't give up. You may still have options.

First, review the notes that you took during your call. If you did not take notes during the call, take a few minutes to jot down what you remember from the conversation. You may be able to identify areas of miscommunication or misunderstanding that led to the failure of the first call.

Second, call back. Explain to the customer service representative who answers your call that this is your second call about the same issue. Explain what you believe what wrong with the first call and begin to describe the resolution that you desire. This allows you and the representative to work toward a common goal. Keep in mind the customer service representatives have different levels of training and experience and it may be that this new agent will be better able to understand and resolve your issue.

If a second call does not work, try a different way of getting in touch. Yale Lock does offer a live chat option on its website. You may also be able to reach out over social media platforms and get help there. It is also possible to send a letter by fax or by postal mail. While these may be slower options, they might be useful if you have a complex case.
