Verkada AL54-CY Cylindrical Lock
Bring Access Control to Every Door
Overview
The AL54-CY Cylindrical Lock empowers organizations to upgrade traditional lock-and-key systems with a smart, connected solution. With access control across every door, organizations can centrally manage all doors and immediately trigger changes – like initiating lockdowns – with a single click via web or mobile.
Organizations can choose from three variations with different key cores: conventional, full-size interchangeable, and small format interchangeable.
All locks can be easily set up right within Verkada Command, requiring no additional software. Admins can receive proactive alerts about low battery status, lock or hub disconnection, and change in door state. Coupled with over-the-air firmware updates, these features help maximize uptime.
End users can enjoy a seamless unlock experience, using a variety of credentials – including hands-free Bluetooth intent unlock – to access doors, with clear LED feedback to confirm the door's status.

Key Features
Automated latch bolt monitoring
Ensure doors are closed, locked, and latched with a built-in latch bolt monitor and door position indicator. Receive proactive alerts for when doors are held open.
Long-range wireless connection
Using Verkada's VLink protocol, immediately connect up to 16 locks with the WH32 wireless hub. The hub is wired to a Verkada access controller and can support any lock within a 150 feet radius or up to 2000 feet with a clear line of sight.
Local schedule override button
Trigger immediate changes to a door's schedule – like unlocked to access controlled, and access controlled to locked – with a simple button press directly on the lock.
Built to last
With a ten-year warranty, UL's three-hour fire rating (pending) and ANSI Grade 1 certification (pending), the AL54-CY is a robust solution for a variety of doors and environments.
LF-, HF-, Bluetooth, and NFC support
Unlock doors with a wide array of credentials, from low-frequency proximity cards and high-frequency NFC credentials such as Apple Wallet. A built-in reflective sensor also supports Bluetooth Intent Unlock.
Intuitive interior and exterior LED feedback
Gain instant visual confirmation of a door's status – access granted, access denied, lockdown states, and connectivity status – on either side of the door based on the color and blinking pattern of the LED indicator.
