Medeco EA-1002 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Medeco XT traffic cabinet lock fit my existing traffic cabinet without drilling or modification?
It retrofits into existing hardware with no modifications required, and installation runs under 5 minutes. There is also no wiring to pull: the key carries the power to the lock, so you are not running low voltage into the cabinet or adding a power supply at the intersection. That is what makes it practical to convert a fleet of signal cabinets one at a time without a shop visit.
2) Do I order the slambolt or the deadbolt version of the Medeco XT traffic cabinet lock?
Bolt type is the choice you have to make on the order: slambolt or deadbolt. Match whatever the cabinet door already uses. A slambolt latches when the door is pushed shut, so it suits cabinets crews close on the move without keying the lock again. A deadbolt has to be thrown with the key, which means the cabinet cannot be left unsecured by someone slamming the door and walking away. Look at the bolt in the door now and order the same style, since both are the same lock body otherwise.
3) Can a traffic cabinet lock be mounted outdoors in weather?
The XT traffic cabinet lock is built for indoor or outdoor use with a stainless steel shell, which is the point for roadside signal cabinets sitting in rain, road salt spray and summer heat with no shelter over them.
4) How do I find out who opened a traffic signal cabinet and when?
The XT lock stores 2,000 audit events in the lock itself, and the XT intelligent key system reports who accessed a cabinet, or attempted to, and at what time. Attempts by keys that are not authorized get recorded too, through the unauthorized key list. For a municipal agency or a signal contractor that has to account for every cabinet entry, the record lives in the lock and the key rather than in a wired head-end you would otherwise have to install at each intersection.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock if the cabinet needs a keypad instead of a key?
The SDC 295 Series battery powered programmable cabinet lock uses a 30-user keypad, so access is granted by code rather than by a key. The HES KP20 is a stand-alone keypad cabinet lock as well. Both differ from the Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock, which is part of the XT Intelligent Key System and takes all of its power from the key itself, with no wiring run to the cabinet. If the agency wants credentials issued as codes to a rotating crew, the keypad units suit that; if it wants a physical key that carries its own power and logs what it touched, the XT does.
6) Can an electric cabinet lock be used in place of the Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock?
It can, but it changes the job from a retrofit into a wiring job. The SDC 290 Series micro cabinet electric bolt lock and the DynaLock 1410 Series cabinet lock both run on dual voltage and have to be fed power at the cabinet. The Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock retrofits into existing hardware with no modifications and requires no wiring, since power comes from the key, and it installs in under five minutes. For a roadside traffic cabinet with no spare low-voltage supply, that distinction usually decides it.
7) What is a simpler mechanical substitute for the Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock?
The Sargent 1655 is a 6-pin cabinet lock with field reversible handing, and the Sargent 4142 is a horizontal cabinet lock with a 6-pin brass cylinder. The HES KS-M is a mechanical server cabinet lock rated Grade 1. Any of the three secures the cabinet with a plain mechanical cylinder. What they do not do is what the Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock is bought for: the XT stores 2,000 audit events and carries an unauthorized key list, so you can tell who opened the cabinet and who tried. If the record of access does not matter for that intersection, a mechanical lock covers the opening.
8) What do I need besides the lock itself to get a Medeco XT cabinet lock working?
The lock is one piece of the XT intelligent key system, so it needs XT keys to operate it, and the keys are also what power it. Budget for the key side of the system, not just the cylinders. There is nothing to wire and no battery in the lock to change out on a maintenance cycle.
9) Should I use an electronic key system or a keypad cabinet lock for securing equipment cabinets?
Two different models of control. The Medeco XT approach keeps a physical key, but the key is credentialed and powers the lock, which suits scattered outdoor cabinets with no power or network at them and crews who need an audit record per opening. A keypad lock like the HES KP20 stand-alone keypad cabinet lock or the SDC 295 Series, which is battery powered and programmable for 30 users, means no key to issue or lose, but every authorized person needs the code and codes get shared. Where the cabinet has power available and you want it tied to a wired access control system, the HES KS200 server cabinet lock runs Wiegand wired access control and the DynaLock 1410 Series and SDC 290 Series are dual voltage electric bolt locks.
10) Is there a mechanical cabinet lock alternative if I do not need audit trail reporting?
Plenty, and they cost you less complexity. If accountability per opening is not the requirement, straight mechanical cylinder cabinet locks cover it: the BEST 3L Series is a dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing and vertical rim mounting, the Sargent 1655 is a 6-pin cabinet lock with field reversible handing, and the Sargent 4142 is a horizontal cabinet lock with a 6-pin brass cylinder. For keyless without electronics, the Lockey C170 is a mechanical combination cam lock that fits doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. You give up the audit record and the unauthorized key list that the XT system provides.
11) Can I standardize one cabinet lock across a whole intersection fleet with different door setups?
The lock body is the same across a fleet; what changes per cabinet is the bolt style, and both slambolt and deadbolt are offered, so a mixed fleet can run one lock platform and one key system. Because each unit drops into existing hardware without modification, you can roll it out cabinet by cabinet as crews get to each intersection rather than staging a full changeover.
12) Is the Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock interchangeable with a small format interchangeable core cabinet lock?
No. The BEST 3L Series is a dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing and vertical rim mounting, and the BEST 5L Series is a coin box cabinet lock with a 7-pin SFIC core housing. Those accept an interchangeable core and fold the cabinet into an existing SFIC keying system. The Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock belongs to the XT Intelligent Key System instead, where the key carries the power and the credential. A facility standardized on SFIC should expect to run the XT cabinets as a separate key system rather than coring them to match.
13) If the cabinet has to report access back to an access control system, what should be used instead of the Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock?
The HES KS200 server cabinet lock is Grade 1 and uses Wiegand integrated wired access control, so the cabinet reports to the head end in real time over its wiring. The Sargent KESO F1 4152 Series is a drawer cabinet lock built for security system integration. The Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock keeps its accountability on board instead, holding 2,000 audit events and an unauthorized key list that come off the lock through the key. Wired integration means a cable run to every cabinet; the XT does not require one.
14) Is there a keyless option that does not need a key or a power source at all?
The Lockey C170 is a mechanical surface mount keyless digital combination cam cabinet lock with a low profile design, and it fits doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick. It runs on a combination with no battery and no key. The Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock takes a different approach, drawing its power from the key and logging 2,000 audit events, so each opening is attributed to a specific keyholder. A combination is shared by everyone who knows it; the XT ties the opening to the key that made it.
15) Which cabinet locks are rated Grade 1 for a municipal or institutional specification?
Among cabinet locks, the HES KP20 Series, the HES KS-M mechanical server lock, and the HES KS200 Series are each Grade 1. The DynaLock 1410 Series of the 1400 family is rated heavy duty. The Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock is a commercial product with a stainless steel shell construction approved for indoor and outdoor use, and it retrofits existing hardware without modification, which is often what governs on a municipal traffic cabinet retrofit where the enclosure itself is already in place.
16) Is the Medeco XT traffic cabinet lock rated for commercial and municipal use rather than residential?
Commercial, and specifically aimed at traffic signal cabinets protecting the controller equipment inside. It is not a residential cabinet lock. Agencies and signal contractors use it to control and log entry to the boxes that run intersection light patterns.
17) Will a traffic cabinet lock work on a server rack or equipment enclosure instead?
The XT lock is set up for traffic cabinet hardware, so if the enclosure you are securing is a server rack, look at locks built for that prep instead. The HES KS-M is a mechanical server cabinet lock and the HES KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand wired access control, both Grade 1. Those mount to rack and enclosure doors rather than signal cabinet hardware.
18) What cabinet lock should be used on a drawer rather than a traffic cabinet door?
The Sargent KESO F1 4152 Series and the Sargent KESO F1 4252 Series are both cabinet locks for drawers, with the 4252 offering field reversible operation. The Medeco XT Traffic Cabinet Lock is built for traffic cabinets, with a stainless steel shell for indoor and outdoor use, and comes in slambolt and deadbolt versions. For casework and drawers inside a building, the Sargent drawer locks are the right family.
