Crestron CLK-YL-AYRDB-DRIVE – Drive-in Latch for Yale Deadbolt Locks

Product Overview

The Crestron CLK-YL-AYRDB-DRIVE is a replacement drive-in latch for Yale deadbolt locks in the Crestron CLK-YL series. The drive-in latch is the mechanical bolt mechanism that mounts in the edge of the door and receives the turning motion of the deadbolt thumbturn and keypad to extend or retract the bolt into the door frame strike. This is a replacement part for existing CLK-YL series Yale deadbolt installations.

Product Description

The drive-in latch is a wear item in deadbolt lock assemblies that may require replacement over the service life of the lock, particularly in high-cycle commercial or multi-unit residential applications. The CLK-YL-AYRDB-DRIVE is specifically matched to the Yale Assure deadbolt (AYRD) platform in the Crestron CLK-YL lineup and installs into a standard ANSI 2-3/8 in or 2-3/4 in backset door preparation. Replacing only the latch mechanism—rather than the full lock assembly—is a cost-effective service approach when the electronic components and exterior/interior escutcheon hardware are still in good condition. This part is for deadbolt locks; lever lock latches are a separate part number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this latch compatible with Yale lever locks as well as deadbolts?
A: No. This latch is specific to the Yale Assure deadbolt (AYRD) platform. Lever lock latches use a different mechanism and part number (CLK-YL-AYRL-DRIVE).

Q: How do I know if my latch needs replacement?
A: Signs of latch wear include stiff or grinding bolt extension/retraction, visible wear on the bolt face, or failure of the bolt to fully extend or retract consistently. If the electronic operation of the lock is normal but the mechanical bolt action is degraded, latch replacement is the correct service action.

Q: Where can I find installation instructions for replacing the latch?
A: Yale provides installation documentation for the AYRD series. For Crestron-specific guidance, visit creationnetworks.net or contact Crestron technical support.
