Lockey C170-SC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much space does the Lockey C170 keyless cabinet lock take up on the door?
The C170 body measures 5 inches L x 1-1/8 inch W x 1-3/4 inch D, with 1-1/4 inch of that sitting on the interior side. That 1-1/8 inch width is what lets it land on a narrow stile or a slim drawer face, and the 1-3/4 inch depth is the figure to check against anything stored right behind the door, since the cam and housing project into the cabinet.
2) Does the Lockey C170 cabinet lock need batteries or wiring?
Neither. The C170 is a mechanical push button combination lock, so there is no battery to change and no power run to the cabinet. That matters for cabinets in remote closets, sheds, or anywhere pulling wire is not practical. If you do want a powered cabinet lock so it can tie into an access control system, that is a different family of product entirely, like the SDC 290 Series electric bolt lock or the DynaLock 1410 Series dual voltage cabinet lock.
3) Can I give different staff their own codes on the Lockey C170?
No. The C170 carries one programmable user code, shared by everyone who opens that cabinet. For a facility that needs individual codes and the ability to remove one person without recoding, look at a multi-user keypad cabinet lock such as the SDC 295 Series, which holds 30 users on a battery powered keypad. The single-code C170 suits cabinets where the same crew or the same department needs in.
4) Should I use a keypad cabinet lock or a keyed one for shared storage cabinets?
It comes down to who holds what. A mechanical keypad like the Lockey C170 removes keys from circulation entirely: one code, no cylinder to key, nothing to hand out or collect when staff turn over, and you recode instead of rekeying. Keyed cabinet locks are the better answer when the cabinets have to fall under the building's existing key system, and several are built for exactly that, including the BEST 5L Series with a 7-pin SFIC core housing and the Sargent 4142 horizontal cabinet lock with a 6-pin brass cylinder. If your maintenance keys already run an SFIC system, a core-accepting lock keeps the cabinets on the same ring.
5) Do I need to order anything else with the Lockey C170 to finish the job?
For a door in the 1-1/8 to 2 inch range, nothing extra is required. Outside that range you add a kit: the Thin Door Kit for anything down to 1/8 inch, or the Extension Kit for doors up to 5 inches. The C-25 Pull Handle is a separate order and is worth adding on doors with no existing pull, since the lock itself is not a grab point. It is offered in most of the same finishes as the lock.
6) What is a good keypad cabinet lock alternative to the Lockey C170 that supports more than one user code?
The Lockey C170 is a mechanical push button lock with one programmable user code and no power requirement. If a cabinet needs codes issued to several people, the SDC 295 Series is a battery powered programmable cabinet lock with a 30-user keypad. Both are keypad entry at the cabinet door; the C170 runs entirely mechanically off the button pack, while the 295 Series depends on battery power to hold and check its user list.
7) What cabinet lock should I use instead of the Lockey C170 when the cabinet has to tie into an access control system?
The Lockey C170 is a standalone mechanical combination cam lock with no wiring, so it cannot report to or be controlled by a head end. For a cabinet that has to sit on an access control system, the HES KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control, and the SDC 290 Series is a micro cabinet electric bolt lock with dual voltage operation for hard wired release. The DynaLock 1410 Series is another dual voltage cabinet lock, rated heavy duty.
8) Is there a keyless cabinet lock like the Lockey C170 that carries an ANSI Grade 1 rating?
The HES KP20 is a stand-alone keypad cabinet lock listed as Grade 1, and the HES KS-M is a mechanical server cabinet lock also listed as Grade 1. Both are keypad or mechanical entry at the cabinet the way the Lockey C170 is. Where a specification or facility standard calls out a graded cabinet lock, those two are the ones in the set that carry the Grade 1 designation.
9) I need a cabinet lock that works with our small format interchangeable core keying - is the Lockey C170 an option?
No. The Lockey C170 is a mechanical combination cam lock, so it has no cylinder to core. For an SFIC cabinet application the BEST 5L Series is a coin box cabinet lock with a 7-pin SFIC core housing, and the BEST 3L Series is a dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing on vertical rim mounting. Those accept the core your facility already keys; the C170 is opened by a programmed code instead.
10) What finishes does the Lockey C170 come in, and is there one for coastal or wet locations?
Eight finishes: Antique Brass, Bright Brass, Jet Black, Marine Grade, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Chrome, Satin Nickel, and White. Marine Grade is the one to specify for salt air, pool rooms, marinas, and exterior cabinets. For matching casework across a building, Satin Chrome and Satin Nickel line up with most commercial cabinet pulls, and White is there for painted millwork.
11) Can the Lockey C170 be used on a server rack or IT cabinet?
It can, as long as the door falls in the 1-1/8 to 2 inch thickness band or you fit the thin door kit, and there is 1-3/4 inch of clearance for the lock body. Rack doors are often thin sheet metal, well under that standard range. If the cabinet is a data center rack and you need auditability, the purpose-built server cabinet locks are the closer fit: HES makes the KS-M mechanical server cabinet lock and the KS200 with Wiegand integrated wired access control, both Grade 1, and the HES KP20 is a Grade 1 stand-alone keypad.
12) What is the simplest alternative to a Lockey C170 if I do not need combination entry on the cabinet?
If the cabinet can be run on a key instead of a code, the Sargent 4142 is a horizontal cabinet lock with a 6-pin brass cylinder and the Sargent 1655 is a 6-pin cabinet lock with field reversible handing. The BEST 3L Series is a dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing and vertical rim mounting. Those put the cabinet on the same key system as the rest of the keyed hardware; the Lockey C170 instead uses a push button combination with one programmable user code and nothing to carry.
13) Which cabinet locks besides the Lockey C170 handle a thick cabinet door?
Door thickness is where the Lockey C170 has the published range in this comparison: 1 1/8 inch to 2 inch standard, down to 1/8 inch with the Thin Door Kit and up to 5 inch with the Extension Kit. If the opening is a server rack or network cabinet rather than a wood or laminate cabinet door, the HES KS-M mechanical server cabinet lock and the HES KS200 server cabinet lock are built for that enclosure type instead.
14) Is the HES KP20 a direct replacement for a Lockey C170?
They are both keypad cabinet locks, but they are not interchangeable in the same hole. The Lockey C170 is a surface mount cam lock, entirely mechanical with no power and one programmable user code, in a 5 by 1 1/8 by 1 3/4 inch body. The HES KP20 is a stand-alone keypad cabinet lock carrying a Grade 1 rating. Swapping one for the other means re-preparing the cabinet door rather than dropping a new lock into the existing prep.
15) What is the difference between the Lockey C170 and a DynaLock 1410 for a heavy use cabinet?
The DynaLock 1410 Series is a dual voltage cabinet lock rated Heavy Duty, which means it is wired and releases on applied voltage from whatever controls it. The Lockey C170 is a mechanical surface mount cam lock opened by a push button code at the door, with no wiring and no power source. The choice is whether the cabinet is being released remotely by a system or opened at the cabinet by a person who knows the code.
16) Is the Lockey C170 rated for commercial use or is it a residential cabinet lock?
Commercial. Lockey classes the C170 as a commercial mechanical push button lock, and it is put on office furniture and storage, healthcare equipment cabinets, school storage, retail display cabinets, industrial tool storage, municipal file storage, and multi-tenant property cabinets. For a property manager standardizing a building, the same lock in one finish across every cabinet gives you one code to manage instead of a drawer of keys.
17) Does the Lockey C170 come in enough finishes to match cabinet hardware, or should I look at another lock?
The Lockey C170 is offered in eight finishes: Antique Brass, Bright Brass, Jet Black, Marine Grade, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Chrome, Satin Nickel, and White, and the matching C-25 Pull Handle is available in most of those. That range covers architectural coordination on visible cabinet fronts. The comparable cabinet locks in this class, such as the BEST 5L Series coin box lock and the SDC 290 Series micro electric bolt lock, are selected on function rather than on finish coordination.
