Yale YDR 50GA Fingerprint Smart Door Lock for Metal Gates

Overview

The Yale YDR 50GA is a keyless lock for a metal grille gate or metal safety door, typically the one in front of a main door, mounted on the surface so no pocket is cut in the gate. Its slim body is easier to fit on a gate than a mortise lock, and it opens by fingerprint, radio frequency identification (RFID) card or key tag, personal identification number (PIN) code or a mechanical key.

Is it right for you?

• It is for metal gates and metal doors with a leaf 32 to 55 mm thick; wooden doors are not listed for this model.
• An ingress protection rating is not stated, so plan weather cover for a gate exposed to rain.
• Choose it when you want two-step entry: dual verification modes such as fingerprint plus PIN or fingerprint plus card are supported.
• App control is only available with add-ons sold separately.

Key features

• Fingerprint, RFID card or key tag, PIN code and mechanical key entry.
• Dual verification modes, such as fingerprint plus PIN or fingerprint plus card.
• Lost cards can be cancelled without changing the lock.
• One-time visitor passwords, code scrambling and silent mode.
• Auto lock, break-in alarm and force-locked alarm.
• Runs on 4 AA alkaline batteries for an average of 3,500 open and close operations, with an audible and visual low battery alert and a 9 V emergency power terminal.
• Hardened SS 304 stainless steel bolts; front body 63.5 x 176 x 28 mm and back body 77 x 220 x 40 mm, in black.

What else you need

• 4 AA alkaline batteries.
• Only if you want app control: the Yale Home Bluetooth Module for the Yale Home app, and the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge (2.4 GHz) as well for locking, unlocking and monitoring away from home; both are sold separately.
• Only if you want a remote control or a link to a video door phone: the YRM 20N receiver module, which slots inside the lock battery cover, plus the optional RC 100 remote (range up to 50 m) or the YRM 20 AMC transmitter module at the video door phone, which runs on 12 V DC.

Installation

A locksmith or gate fabricator should fit it. The job involves fixing the front and back bodies through a metal gate or door leaf 32 to 55 mm thick, fitting the strike on the frame, providing weather cover on an exposed gate, then enrolling fingerprints, cards and PIN codes.

Software and licences

The Yale Home app, for access management, notifications and remote control, works with this lock only when the Yale Home Bluetooth Module is fitted; control away from home also needs the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge on your 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi.

Before you buy

• Whether a remote control is supplied with this model is not confirmed, so check it with your order.
• App control needs add-ons sold separately.
• No ingress protection rating is stated, so plan weather cover for an exposed gate.
