Yale YDL325 C Fingerprint Smart Lever Lock for Interior Doors

Overview

The Yale YDL325 C is a fingerprint lever lock for doors inside the home, such as bedrooms, study rooms and home offices, where a full main door lock would be more than you need. It fits in place of the existing latch without altering the door, and opens by fingerprint, from the Yale Home app over built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), or with a mechanical key. The C has a round rose; the Yale YDL325 S is the same lock with a square rose.

Is it right for you?

• It suits interior wooden doors 35 to 60 mm thick with a backset of 60 to 70 mm.
• It is not supported on metal or glass doors, double doors or sliding doors, and it is not meant as a main door lock.
• Choose it if you want privacy for a room without keys: anyone inside can set the forced lock, and passage mode leaves it unlocked when the room is in use.
• Choose the C if you prefer a round rose; function and price are the same as the S.

Key features

• Stores up to 100 fingerprints, so the whole family can use a bedroom or study door.
• Two mechanical keys as an override.
• Internal forced lock for privacy, and a passage mode that leaves the door free to open.
• Voice guide and an LED (light-emitting diode) status bar, and it can be set for a left or right handed door.
• Bluetooth built in, so the Yale Home app works without any extra module when your phone is near the door.
• Runs on four AAA alkaline batteries with a low battery warning; if they run flat, a USB Type-C cable gives emergency power.
• Front and main body each 170 x 68 x 68 mm, in black.

What else you need

• Nothing extra for fingerprint, key or nearby Bluetooth use: the lock runs on its own batteries and needs no wiring.
• Only if you want Yale Home functions away from home, you also need the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, sold separately.

Installation

It is a plug-in latch replacement for a wooden door 35 to 60 mm thick, with an adjustable backset of 60 to 70 mm, and needs no door modification. A carpenter or door fitter can fit it, or a confident home owner, as there is no wiring; the app then guides enrolment of fingerprints.

Software and licences

The Yale Home app unlocks the door, shows an activity feed and shares access with others, over Bluetooth when the phone is near the door. With the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, these functions work over the internet from anywhere.

Before you buy
