FAQs

What does 30x50 mean in the cylinder size?

This refers to the lengths from the central fixing screw hole to the ends of the cylinder (30mm and 50mm respectively).

Can I use the included keys with other Yale locks?

No, these keys are specific to this cylinder's pin configuration and will not operate other locks unless keyed-alike by a professional locksmith.

What is the emergency clutch function?

The clutch allows the door to be opened from the outside even if a key is already inserted in the lock on the inside.

How do I measure my door for this cylinder?

Measure from the center of the fixing screw hole to the edge of the internal handle plate, then repeat for the external plate.

Is this cylinder pick-resistant?

Yes, it features a 6-pin mechanism specifically designed to resist standard lock picking attempts.

How many keys come with the lock?

The product includes 4 reversible keys.

Troubleshooting

Key is difficult to insert or turn

Ensure the cylinder is not under tension from a misaligned handle set and apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant.

Lock does not engage with the strike plate

Check that the door is properly aligned in the frame and the strike plate is not obstructed.

Key turns but the door remains locked

Verify that the cam is correctly timed and the cylinder screw is fully tightened to the lock case.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced 6-pin security mechanism
  • Emergency override clutch enables access from outside when a key is left inside

  • Includes four reversible keys for convenience

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, remove your existing cylinder to measure the distance from the center of the fixing screw hole to both the internal and external door faces. The 30x50 specification indicates the distance from the cam to each side; ensure this matches your current setup to maintain anti-snap security levels. Use only a clean, dry cloth to wipe the cylinder face if debris accumulates. Avoid using heavy lubricating oils inside the keyway, as these can attract grit over time; a dry graphite-based lubricant is recommended if the key becomes difficult to insert.
