Sargent 1655 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the Sargent 1655 handed left or right?
No handing to specify. The 1655 is field reversible, so one lock covers a left or right hand cabinet door and the swing is set during install with no extra parts ordered. That's what makes it worth stocking a few spares on a shelf for a facility with mixed cabinet doors.
2) What do I have to specify when ordering a Sargent 1655 cabinet lock?
Three decisions. Cylinder option: standard cylinder, 10 for the Sargent Signature System, 11 for the XC Key System, 21 for the Construction Key System (lost key), or 22 for the Construction Key System (split key). Finish: 04 satin brass clear coated, or 26D satin chromium plated over nickel. And keying, which is required: keyed different, keyed alike, or a specific key code you type in. Miss the keying selection and the order won't go through.
3) Can I get Sargent 1655 cabinet locks all keyed alike across a building?
Yes, keyed alike is one of the required keying selections, alongside keyed different and ordering to a specific key code. If your facility already runs Sargent cylinders, give the key code so the cabinets operate on the keys your staff carry. For a records room or a bank of file cabinets where one person needs access to everything, keyed alike is the order.
4) Is a keyed cabinet lock like the Sargent 1655 the right choice, or should I use a keypad or electric lock?
A 6-pin keyed lock like the 1655 makes sense when the cabinets should run on the same key system the rest of the building already uses and you want no wiring and no batteries. If you'd rather not issue keys at all, ZenSupply carries the HES KP20 stand-alone keypad cabinet lock and the SDC 295 Series battery powered programmable lock with a 30-user keypad. If the cabinets need to release from an access control system, look at the SDC 290 Series micro electric bolt lock or the DynaLock 1410 Series, both dual voltage.
5) Is there a cabinet lock that takes a small format interchangeable core so it keys into my building master system?
The Sargent 1655 uses a 6-pin cylinder and is ordered with a Sargent cylinder option such as the Signature System, the XC Key System, or a standard cylinder, so it keys into a Sargent system. If the facility is standardized on interchangeable cores instead, the BEST 5L coin box cabinet lock uses a 7-pin SFIC core housing, and the BEST 3L dead-locking cabinet lock also uses a 7-pin housing with vertical rim mounting. Those accept the same core family already carried on the rest of a BEST-keyed facility, so the cabinets rekey on the same schedule as the doors.
6) What cabinet lock should I use if the door is thicker than 1 1/2 inches?
The Sargent 1655 cabinet lock is built for door thicknesses from 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches, so a thicker cabinet door falls outside its range. The Lockey C170 surface mount cam cabinet lock covers a door thickness range of 1-1/8 inches to 2 inches, which reaches the heavier stiles found on shop cabinets and casework. The C170 is a mechanical keyless digital combination lock rather than a keyed 6-pin cylinder lock, so the tradeoff is that users enter a code instead of carrying a key.
7) I need to get rid of keys on our supply cabinets - what replaces a keyed cabinet lock with a code?
The Sargent 1655 is a keyed 6-pin cabinet lock and ships with 2 keys. For code entry instead, the HES KP20 is a stand-alone keypad cabinet lock, the SDC 295 is a battery powered programmable cabinet lock with a 30-user keypad, and the Lockey C170 is a mechanical keyless digital combination cam lock. The SDC 295 is the one to look at when different staff need to be distinguished, since it holds up to 30 users; the Lockey C170 is mechanical, so it runs without batteries or wiring.
8) Can a cabinet lock be released from an access control system rather than by key?
The Sargent 1655 is a mechanical keyed cabinet lock with a latchbolt, so it is operated at the cabinet with a key and does not tie into a panel. For electrically released cabinets, the SDC 290 micro cabinet electric bolt lock and the DynaLock 1410 cabinet lock both run on dual voltage, and the HES KS200 server cabinet lock uses Wiegand integrated wired access control so it reports to the same credential system as the doors. The KS200 is the choice when the cabinet has to appear on the access control head end; the SDC 290 and DynaLock 1410 are release devices driven by whatever controls the circuit.
9) Which cabinet locks carry an ANSI Grade 1 rating for a spec that calls for one?
When a submittal calls out Grade 1 on the cabinet hardware, the HES KP20 keypad cabinet lock, the HES KS-M mechanical server cabinet lock, and the HES KS200 Wiegand server cabinet lock are all Grade 1. The KS-M is the mechanical one of the three, so it is the closest fit if the spec wants Grade 1 without adding power or credentials to the cabinet. The Sargent 1655 is a heavy-duty commercial 6-pin cabinet lock for 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch doors and is specified on its cylinder system and door prep rather than on a grade line.
10) What prep do I need in the cabinet door for a Sargent 1655 lock?
Drilling and routing to the manufacturer's template, plus clearance behind the door for the latchbolt to swing. Confirm the leaf measures between 1 inch and 1-1/2 inches before you cut, since that is the range the lock body is built for, and set the reversible handing to match the swing before final assembly. Sargent supplies templates for the hole locations.
11) Why would I order a Sargent 1655 with the 21 or 22 construction key system?
Construction keying lets trades operate the cabinets during the build on a temporary key, then the permanent key voids it at turnover. Option 21 is the lost key version and 22 is the split key version. On a new fit-out where casework goes in months before the owner takes the keys, this is what keeps the GC out of your rekey budget. On a replacement lock in an occupied building, skip it and order 10, 11 or the standard cylinder.
12) What is the difference between the Sargent 1655 and the BEST 3L cabinet lock?
Both are mechanical keyed cabinet locks. The Sargent 1655 is a 6-pin cabinet lock with field reversible handing, a 16/17 inch latchbolt throw, and fits doors from 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches thick; it is ordered in satin brass clear coated or satin chromium plated over nickel. The BEST 3L is a dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing and vertical rim mounting, so it mounts to the face of the door and engages a rim strike rather than being handed like the 1655. Cabinet prep decides between them: the 1655 needs the door drilled and routed for its latchbolt, the 3L is a rim application.
13) Is a coin box lock the same thing as a standard cabinet lock?
No. The BEST 5L is a coin box cabinet lock built around a 7-pin SFIC core housing, intended for coin box and money-handling enclosures rather than general cabinet doors. The Sargent 1655 is a 6-pin cabinet lock with field reversible handing sized for cabinet doors 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches thick, which is the ordinary filing cabinet, records storage, and supply cabinet application. Substituting one for the other changes the prep entirely, so match the lock to the enclosure it is going into.
14) What should I put on a server rack or data cabinet instead of a keyed cabinet lock?
Server enclosures usually need an audit trail or credential control that a key does not give. The HES KS-M mechanical server cabinet lock and the HES KS200 server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control are both purpose-built for that enclosure and are Grade 1; the KS200 wires into the access control system while the KS-M is mechanical. The Sargent 1655 remains the straightforward choice on filing cabinets, records storage, and supply cabinets where a 6-pin key system on the facility standard is what is wanted.
15) I want a cabinet lock that mounts on the surface without cutting the door - what are my options?
The Sargent 1655 is installed by drilling and routing the cabinet door for its latchbolt mechanism, so it is a through-door prep. If cutting the door is not acceptable, the Lockey C170 is a surface mount cam cabinet lock with a low profile design that fits doors 1-1/8 inches to 2 inches thick, and the BEST 3L uses vertical rim mounting on the face of the door. The C170 works by combination code and the 3L is keyed through a 7-pin housing, so pick on how the cabinet is meant to be opened.
16) Which Sargent 1655 finish matches stainless steel casework?
26D, satin chromium plated over nickel, is the finish that reads with brushed stainless and satin chrome pulls, and it is available on every cylinder option. The other choice is 04, satin brass clear coated, for brass or bronze cabinet hardware. Both finishes pair with all five cylinder options.
17) Does the Sargent 1655 cabinet lock come with keys?
Two keys ship with the lock. That covers the person who carries it and one backup, which is usually enough for a single cabinet but not for a maintenance crew, so plan on cutting extras if several people need access.
18) Is the DynaLock 1410 a drop-in replacement for a keyed cabinet lock?
It is not a like-for-like swap. The DynaLock 1410 is a heavy duty dual voltage cabinet lock, meaning it needs a power supply and a device to switch it, and the cabinet has to be wired. The Sargent 1655 is a heavy-duty commercial mechanical lock that operates on a 6-pin key with no power at the cabinet. The SDC 290 micro cabinet electric bolt lock is in the same electric family as the 1410 and also runs dual voltage. Going from the 1655 to any of these means adding power to the millwork, which is the part that usually decides the job.
