FAQs
How do I measure my current cylinder?
Measure from the center of the screw hole (the cam) to the edge of the cylinder on both sides. These are your A and B dimensions.
Can I use this for a bathroom door?
This model is designed as a double-sided cylinder for security doors and is generally not suitable for standard internal bathroom locking needs.
Does this come with keys?
Yes, the unit includes a set of sawn keys specifically cut for the internal 5-pin configuration.
Is this cylinder drill-resistant?
It provides a high level of standard security; however, for maximum protection against specialized drilling attacks, consider higher-tier Yale models.
What if my cylinder is a different size?
If your measurements do not match the 27/27 specification, please check our available variant siblings for the correct dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Key will not turn or is stiff.
Ensure the cylinder is properly aligned in the door and that the holding screw is not over-tightened, which can compress the housing.
The cylinder does not fit in the door.
Verify your A/B measurements. You may have ordered the incorrect size for your specific door thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installing, you must measure your existing cylinder from the center of the cam to each end (the 'A' and 'B' dimensions). Incorrect measurements will prevent the cylinder from fitting correctly.
Installation Steps:
- Open the door and locate the holding screw on the edge of the door face, aligned with the cylinder.
- Remove the holding screw.
- Insert your key into the cylinder and turn it slightly to align the cam with the body of the cylinder.
- Slide the old cylinder out.
- Insert the new Yale 500 Plus cylinder, ensuring it is centered.
- Re-insert and tighten the holding screw until the cylinder is secured firmly.
To maintain the cylinder, avoid using heavy oils; if the lock feels stiff, a light application of a dry graphite lubricant is recommended.
