The BQT Cobalt YD30S Side Load Lock is a heavy-duty recessed electronic locking solution designed for professional access control and door security applications. Featuring a substantial 1,000kg holding force, selectable Fail Safe or Fail Secure operation, up to 8mm alignment correction and 12–24V DC operation, the YD30S combines high-strength locking with installation flexibility for compatible commercial and controlled-access doors.
The recessed design allows the YD30S to be integrated discreetly into a compatible door and frame arrangement, providing a clean installation while maintaining the high holding force required for demanding access control environments.

A major advantage of the Cobalt Side Load Lock is its up to 8mm alignment correction. This provides additional tolerance for compatible doors where alignment may vary, helping support reliable engagement when the lock is correctly installed.
The selectable Fail Safe / Fail Secure operation allows installers to configure the locking behaviour according to the requirements of the specific access control application.
Operating from 12–24V DC with a maximum current of 1A, the YD30S can be integrated with appropriately specified access control power supplies and associated electronic door-control equipment.

1,000kg Holding Force
The BQT Cobalt YD30S provides a specified 1,000kg holding force, making it a high-strength electronic locking option for compatible access-controlled door applications.
The security and holding performance of an installation also depends on the door, frame, mounting arrangement, fixings and overall access control design. The complete door assembly should therefore be appropriately specified for the required application.
Selectable Fail Safe / Fail Secure Operation
The YD30S supports selectable Fail Safe and Fail Secure operation, providing flexibility when designing an electronic access-controlled door.
The appropriate operating configuration should be selected according to the requirements of the individual installation, including access control, security, emergency egress, fire and applicable building requirements.
Up to 8mm Alignment Correction
The YD30S provides up to 8mm of alignment correction, giving installers additional tolerance when working with compatible doors and frames.
Door alignment can be affected by factors such as regular use, hinge movement, building movement and environmental conditions. The alignment-correction capability can help accommodate variation while supporting reliable locking engagement when the product is correctly installed.
Power Requirements
The BQT Cobalt YD30S operates from 12–24V DC with a specified maximum current requirement of 1A.
The connected power supply, access controller and associated equipment should be correctly specified for the selected voltage and the electrical requirements of the complete access control system.
