Lockey EC780-B-L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Lockey EC780 electronic cabinet lock fit my file cabinet drawer, and what cam does it use?
Fit comes down to three things on the EC780. It uses a 20mm standard spindle length, it takes a standard cam anywhere from 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch so you can reach the frame from the drawer face, and it mounts 2 point or 3 point. The lock body itself is 136mm (5.35 in) L x 37mm (1.46 in) W x 27mm (1.06 in) D, so check you have that much flat face and that much clear depth behind the drawer front before you cut the hole.
2) What happens if the batteries die on a Lockey EC780 cabinet lock with records locked inside?
You get in with a key. The EC780 has a key override and ships with 2 keys, so a flat battery is an inconvenience, not a drilled lock. It also has a battery condition indicator that warns you before it gets to that point, and it runs on 2 AA alkaline batteries that are included with the lock.
3) Which keypad direction should I order on the Lockey EC780, and is every direction available in every finish?
Three keypad orientations to choose from: vertical, right handed horizontal, and left handed horizontal. Pick by the shape of the cabinet face you are mounting to, a tall narrow stile or a drawer front usually decides it for you. All three orientations are offered in all three finishes, black, silver and white, which is nine orderable combinations, so the finish you want never limits the keypad direction you need.
4) Does the Lockey EC780 cabinet lock have to be wired to power?
No wiring at all. The EC780 is battery operated, running on a pair of AA cells, so it goes on a cabinet that has no power near it and needs no transformer, no conduit and no electrician. If your job actually calls for a wired cabinet lock that fails a certain way on power loss, ZenSupply carries the DynaLock 1410 Series dual voltage cabinet lock and the SDC 290 Series micro cabinet electric bolt lock, both of which are dual voltage wired units.
5) How do codes work on the Lockey EC780 when several people need access to the same cabinet?
Four code levels sit on the EC780. An 8 digit master code is the top of the tree, a 6 digit sub-master sits under it for whoever runs the department day to day, individual user codes are 4 digits, and a 6 digit technician code is separate again for service work. On top of that the lock runs in Public, Private, or Remote Allocation System (RAS) mode, so the same hardware covers a cabinet anyone on shift can open and one where each person carries their own code.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Lockey EC780 for a cabinet that has no wiring run to it?
The EC780 is a self-contained keypad lock: it runs on a pair of AA batteries, delivers up to 80,000 cycles per pair, and carries a battery condition indicator, so nothing has to be pulled to the cabinet. Two peers work the same self-powered way. The HES KP20 is a stand-alone keypad cabinet lock and is listed as Grade 1. The SDC 295 is a battery powered programmable cabinet lock with a 30-user keypad. The EC780 separates itself on code structure rather than power: an 8 digit master code, 6 digit sub-master code, 4 digit user codes and a 6 digit technician code, with Public, Private and Remote Allocation System (RAS) modes, plus a key override function and 2 keys supplied.
7) We want cabinet locks that tie into the building access control system. Does the Lockey EC780 do that, or is there something else?
The EC780 is battery operated and manages access through codes entered at its own keypad, including a Remote Allocation System mode for issuing codes without touching the lock; it is not wired back to a head end. When the cabinets need to sit on the same credential system as the doors, the comparable set has three wired options. The HES KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control and is listed as Grade 1. The DynaLock 1410 is a dual voltage cabinet lock in the 1400 series, listed as heavy duty. The SDC 290 is a micro cabinet electric bolt lock with dual voltage operation. All three need power brought to the cabinet; the EC780 needs a pair of AA batteries and nothing else.
8) What else could I buy instead of the Lockey EC780 if I want a battery powered keypad cabinet lock?
The closest alternative ZenSupply carries is the SDC 295 Series, a battery powered programmable cabinet lock with a 30-user keypad. The HES KP20 is another stand-alone keypad cabinet lock and it is a Grade 1 unit. Where the EC780 pulls ahead for a mixed office is the ordering matrix, three keypad orientations across black, silver and white, plus the four-tier code structure and a key override with 2 keys in the box.
9) I want the cabinet locks keyed into our existing building key system, not on a code. What should I use instead of the EC780?
Then a keypad lock is the wrong tool, and the EC780 is a keypad lock with a key only as an override. For cabinets that need to sit on the same key system as the rest of the facility, look at the BEST 5L Series coin box cabinet lock or the BEST 3L Series dead-locking cabinet lock, both built around a 7-pin housing that takes a small format interchangeable core, so your locksmith cores them to your existing system. Sargent has the 1655, a 6-pin cabinet lock with field reversible handing, and the 4142 horizontal cabinet lock with a 6-pin brass cylinder.
10) Can a Lockey EC780 report to our access control head end, or do codes have to be set at the cabinet?
The EC780 is a battery operated lock programmed through its own keypad, with Public, Private and Remote Allocation System (RAS) modes covering how codes get handed out. If the requirement is that the cabinet lock actually sits on the building access control system and reports through it, the HES KS200 server cabinet lock is the one to spec, a Grade 1 unit with Wiegand integrated wired access control.
11) How often will I be changing batteries in a Lockey EC780 on a cabinet that gets opened all day?
Rated at up to 80,000 cycles per pair of AA batteries. On a supply or records cabinet opened 20 times a day that is on the order of 4,000 days of use before the pair is spent, and the lock carries a battery condition indicator so the change happens on your schedule rather than at the cabinet door with a cart behind you. Two alkaline cells come with the lock.
12) We do not need codes on these cabinets, just keys. What takes the place of the Lockey EC780?
The EC780 is an electronic lock and its whole value is code management, so if every user will carry a key instead, a mechanical cabinet lock covers the same opening with no batteries in the picture. The Sargent 1655 is a 6-pin cabinet lock with field reversible handing. The Sargent 4142 is a horizontal cabinet lock with a 6-pin brass cylinder. The BEST 3L is a dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing and vertical rim mounting. For IT enclosures specifically, the HES KS-M is a mechanical server cabinet lock listed as Grade 1. Keep the EC780 where access has to change hands often enough that reissuing keys is the problem you are trying to solve.
13) Our facility keys everything to one core system. Can the Lockey EC780 go on those cabinets, or should I use a keyed lock instead?
The EC780 grants access by code and includes a key override with 2 keys, so it is administered through its master, sub-master, user and technician codes rather than through a cylinder that gets keyed to a facility system. If the requirement is that the cabinets fall under the same key system as everything else, the comparable set has purpose-built options: the BEST 5L is a coin box cabinet lock with a 7-pin SFIC core housing and the BEST 3L uses a 7-pin housing, while the Sargent 4152 is a KESO F1 series cabinet lock for drawers with security system integration and the Sargent 4252 is the KESO F1 drawer lock with field reversible operation. A common split is keyed locks where the master key system must reach, and the EC780 where a code needs to be handed out and changed later.
14) Are the SDC 290 and DynaLock 1410 drop-in alternatives to the Lockey EC780?
They solve a different problem despite sitting in the same cabinet-lock family. The SDC 290 is a micro cabinet electric bolt lock with dual voltage operation and the DynaLock 1410 is a dual voltage cabinet lock listed as heavy duty in the 1400 series; both are electrically released, which means the release decision is made somewhere other than the cabinet face and power has to reach the enclosure. The EC780 carries the credential on the cabinet itself as a keypad, runs on AA batteries with a battery condition indicator, and mounts with 2 or 3 point options and a standard cam range from 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch. Specify the electric bolts when a controller or a remote release button governs the cabinet, and the EC780 when a person standing at the cabinet enters a code.
15) Our cabinet doors are hinged both ways. How is handing handled on the Lockey EC780 versus the Sargent cabinet locks?
Handing on the EC780 is a specifying decision, not a field adjustment: keypad direction is ordered as Vertical, Right Handed Horizontal or Left Handed Horizontal, and each of those comes in Black, Silver or White, so a mixed run of cabinets gets a mixed order. Two of the Sargent peers approach it the other way. The Sargent 1655 is a 6-pin cabinet lock with field reversible handing and the Sargent 4252 is the KESO F1 drawer lock with field reversible operation, both of which get set at the cabinet. Count your left, right and vertical openings before releasing an EC780 order, because the keypad orientation is fixed to the part you receive.
16) We are standardizing cabinet locks across a healthcare facility and the spec calls for a durability figure. What do the Lockey EC780 and its alternatives give us?
The EC780 states its endurance in battery terms: up to 80,000 cycles per pair of AA batteries, on a zinc die-cast body with a powder coated finish, designated for commercial use. Among the alternatives, the DynaLock 1410 is listed as heavy duty, and the HES KP20, KS-M and KS200 each carry a Grade 1 designation, which is the line most facility specifications are written to when the requirement is stated as a grade rather than a cycle count. Read your specification first: if it asks for a grade, the HES trio answers it directly; if it asks how long the cabinets run between service visits, the EC780 cycle figure is the number to put on the submittal.
17) We are fitting out a whole floor of cabinets. Does the Lockey EC780 come in a finish that will match black, silver and white casework?
Three finishes on the EC780, black, silver and white, all powder coated over a zinc die-cast body. Because each finish is offered in all three keypad orientations, you can run one lock model across an entire floor and still match the cabinet colour and the mounting face in each room. It is built as a commercial lock, not a residential one, which is what you want on casework getting daily traffic.
18) Can the beep on the Lockey EC780 keypad be silenced for a quiet area like a records room or a ward?
Yes, the audible keypad feedback on the EC780 can be turned on or off, so it goes into a library, a records room or a patient area without announcing every entry. The lock also has an auto unlock mode if you would rather leave a cabinet freely accessible during a shift and put it back on code after.
19) For server and network enclosures, should I spec the Lockey EC780 or one of the HES server cabinet locks?
The HES peers are named for that enclosure: the KS-M is a mechanical server cabinet lock, the KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control, and all three HES entries, including the KP20 stand-alone keypad cabinet lock, are listed as Grade 1. Choose among them by how access is proven at the rack: key with the KS-M, system credential with the KS200, keypad with the KP20. The EC780 is the keypad approach with its own administration layer, offering Public, Private and Remote Allocation System modes and four code levels; its body measures 136mm (5.35 inch) L x 37mm (1.46 inch) W x 27mm (1.06 inch) D with a 20mm standard spindle, which is the figure to check against the rack door before deciding.
