Yale Residential AYRL-LATCH-15 Drive in Latch

Product Description

The YALE RESIDENTIAL AYRL-LATCH-15 is a drive-in latch designed for use with compatible Yale smart lock systems. A drive-in latch is a spring-loaded bolt assembly that installs directly into a pre-bored hole in a door edge, eliminating the need for a face plate mortise. It engages the door frame strike automatically when the door closes and retracts when the lever or knob is turned. This component is a key part of the door hardware assembly and is typically installed or replaced by locksmiths, door hardware technicians, or experienced finish carpenters during smart lock installations or door hardware upgrades.

This latch is suited for residential door applications where a Yale smart lock system is being installed or serviced. Drive-in latches are commonly used in interior and light-duty exterior doors with standard bore configurations. The component ships as a single unit, making it a practical service or replacement part for technicians maintaining existing Yale smart lock installations or completing new door hardware setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician. Before servicing, ensure the door is secured in an open position and any connected smart lock electronics are powered down. The latch should be seated fully into the bore until flush with the door edge. Verify strike plate alignment after installation to ensure proper latch engagement and smooth door operation.
