Sargent 4142 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 4142 cabinet lock fit a metal cabinet door 7/8 inch thick?
Yes. The 4142 cabinet lock is built for metal doors up to 7/8 inch thick, so 7/8 is the top of its range and anything thinner is fine. Beyond that thickness the cylinder body will not have enough thread left to pull the cam up tight against the back of the door. If your cabinet door is thicker, look at a cam lock with a stated wider range instead, such as the Lockey C170, which covers 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors.
2) Can Sargent 4142 cabinet locks be master keyed into the building's existing Sargent system?
Yes. The 6-pin brass cylinder can be master keyed with most other Sargent locks, so cabinet locks fall under the same master or grand master a facility already runs on its doors. That is the reason to spec Sargent here rather than a generic cam lock: one key ring for the maintenance tech instead of a separate cabinet key. Give your keying detail on the order using the Keying option, either KD keyed different, KA keyed alike, or a specific key code.
3) I run BEST small format interchangeable core keying. Is the Sargent 4142 the right cabinet lock for me?
No. The 4142 uses a fixed 6-pin Sargent brass cylinder, keyed into Sargent systems, not an interchangeable core. A facility standardized on 7-pin SFIC should look at the BEST 5L Series, which has a 7-pin SFIC core housing, or the BEST 3L Series dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing and vertical rim mounting. Mixing a fixed-cylinder Sargent cabinet lock into an SFIC facility means a second key the locksmith has to carry.
4) What is the difference between the Sargent 4142 cabinet lock and the BEST 3L cabinet lock?
The Sargent 4142 is a horizontal-cam cabinet lock built around a 6-pin brass cylinder, keyed at the factory and master keyable with most other Sargent locks. The BEST 3L Series is a dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing and vertical rim mounting, so the core is a small format interchangeable core rather than a fixed 6-pin cylinder, and the latch dead-locks instead of driving a cam. Choose the 4142 when the cabinet takes a cam turning to horizontal in the locked position on a metal door up to 7/8 inch thick, and the 3L when the facility standardizes on 7-pin cores and the opening needs rim mounting.
5) Which cabinet lock should I use if I want an interchangeable core instead of a fixed cylinder?
The Sargent 4142 uses a 6-pin brass cylinder that is keyed as ordered and master keyed into a Sargent system. If the requirement is a removable core the facility can rekey itself, the BEST 5L Series coin box cabinet lock uses a 7-pin SFIC core housing, and the BEST 3L Series uses a 7-pin housing with vertical rim mounting. Institutions already carrying a stock of small format cores usually go that route; sites already on Sargent keying stay with the 4142 so the cabinet falls under the same master key as the doors.
6) Is there a cabinet lock that does not use keys at all?
Yes, but they are a different class of product than the Sargent 4142, which is a keyed mechanical lock supplied with two 6-pin keys. For keyless mechanical entry the Lockey C170 is a surface mount digital combination cam cabinet lock with a low profile design, fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick. For keyless electronic, the HES KP20 is a stand-alone keypad cabinet lock and the SDC 295 Series is a battery powered programmable cabinet lock with a 30-user keypad. The 4142 remains the choice where the cabinet has to sit on an existing key system rather than a code list.
7) Can the Sargent 4142 be tied into an access control system?
The 4142 is a mechanical cam lock operated by key; it integrates through keying, not wiring, and can be master keyed with most other Sargent locks. For a cabinet that has to report to or be released by an access control system, the HES KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control, the DynaLock 1410 Series is a dual voltage cabinet lock, and the SDC 290 Series is a micro cabinet electric bolt lock with dual voltage operation. Those require power and a wire run to the cabinet, which the 4142 does not.
8) Do I need to specify handing when ordering a Sargent 4142 cabinet lock?
No handing to call out. The 4142 is field reversible, so the same lock covers either hand or either mounting orientation once you set the cam. That matters on a fleet order: one part number covers a run of mixed cabinets rather than splitting the count between left and right.
9) What are the 21 and 22 cylinder options on the Sargent 4142?
Those are Sargent construction keying systems, used when a contractor needs access during the build and the owner takes over at turnover. 21 is the lost key system and 22 is the split key system. If nobody needs temporary construction access, order the standard cylinder. All three cylinder choices are offered across the full finish range.
10) Is the Sargent 4142 cabinet lock fire rated?
The 4142 carries a 3-hour fire rating, which is why it shows up on institutional specs for medication cabinets, records storage, and equipment enclosures in rated construction where a plain cam lock would not pass inspection.
11) Should I use a keyed cabinet lock like the Sargent 4142 or a keypad or electric cabinet lock?
Go mechanical and keyed when the cabinet should ride on the facility's existing key system and you want no power, no batteries, and no programming; the 4142 does that with a 6-pin brass cylinder that master keys to most other Sargent locks. Go keyed-less when the users change often and issuing keys is the problem, and go electric when the cabinet has to tie into access control. Among the alternatives, the SDC 295 Series is battery powered with a 30-user keypad, the HES KP20 is a Grade 1 stand-alone keypad lock, and the HES KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand wired access control integration.
12) Can I key several Sargent 4142 cabinet locks alike so one key opens a whole bank of cabinets?
Yes, order them KA keyed alike and every lock in the run takes the same key. Use KD keyed different when each cabinet needs its own key, or supply a specific key code when you are adding to an existing system and need the new locks cut to a bitting you already carry. The keying selection is required on every order, so decide it before you send the PO.
13) What is the closest mechanical alternative to the Sargent 4142 for a server rack or data cabinet?
The HES KS-M is a mechanical server cabinet lock carrying a Grade 1 rating, purpose built for server enclosures. The Sargent 4142 is a general cabinet, drawer and enclosure lock with a bronze cam attached by two screws and a 3-hour fire rating, and it suits industrial equipment enclosures where the door is metal and up to 7/8 inch thick. Pick the KS-M when the cabinet is a swing handle server rack; pick the 4142 when the prep is a standard cam lock hole and the keying has to match the rest of the building.
14) Which cabinet lock is graded and which is not a direct swap for a Grade 1 spec?
If a specification calls out ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 for a cabinet lock, the HES KP20, HES KS-M and HES KS200 all carry Grade 1. The Sargent 4142 answers a different line on the spec: it is a commercial cabinet lock with a 3-hour fire rating and a solid brass 6-pin cylinder. Read the spec closely, because a fire rating requirement and a grade requirement are not satisfied by the same substitution.
15) I need a cabinet lock that stays locked without power during a fire event. What are my options?
The Sargent 4142 is purely mechanical with a 3-hour fire rating, so nothing about its locked state depends on a power supply. The electrified alternatives behave differently: the DynaLock 1410 Series and SDC 290 Series both run on dual voltage, and the SDC 295 Series is battery powered, so each needs its power condition and fail state confirmed against the facility's fire plan. For cabinets in rated construction where the requirement is simply that the lock hold, the 4142 is the straightforward answer.
16) Is the SDC 290 a substitute for a Sargent 4142?
No. The SDC 290 Series is a micro cabinet electric bolt lock with dual voltage operation, meaning it throws a bolt under electrical control and needs a power feed and a bolt strike pocket in the frame. The Sargent 4142 is a keyed cam lock: a bronze cam attached with two screws rotates to horizontal in the locked position, the strike is supplied by others, and it is field reversible. Swapping one for the other changes the door prep, the strike, and the wiring, so they are not interchangeable in an existing hole.
17) Do I need the vertical cam version instead of the Sargent 4142?
The Sargent 4142 is horizontal in the locked position, and the 4143 is vertical in the locked position; the bronze cam is attached with two screws and can be converted in the field, and the lock itself is field reversible. Which one to order depends on how the cam has to meet the strike on the cabinet, not on the key system, since both sit in the same Sargent 4000 Series and master key the same way.
18) What finishes does the Sargent 4142 cabinet lock come in?
Eleven finishes, which is what lets the cabinet lock match hardware already in the space: 03 bright brass and 04 satin brass clear coated, 10 satin bronze clear coated, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 26 bright chrome and 26D satin chrome over nickel, 32 bright and 32D satin stainless steel, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. For office casework matching 26D lever trim, 26D is the pull; for a painted equipment enclosure the powder coats blend in.
19) What is the Sargent 4142 cabinet lock made of, and will it hold up in a high-traffic building?
Solid brass cylinder with a bronze cam. Brass and bronze are the wear surfaces on a cam lock, which is what separates it from the stamped-steel locks that come factory-fitted in office casework, and it is rated commercial rather than residential. That is the case for swapping it into desks, lockers, and display cases in schools, healthcare, and multi-tenant property, where the original cabinet lock is usually the first thing to fail.
20) Which cabinet lock is best for a coin box or vending style enclosure?
The BEST 5L Series is a coin box cabinet lock built on a 7-pin SFIC core housing, which is the purpose-built choice for that enclosure. The Sargent 4142 is a general purpose cam lock for cabinets, drawers and similar applications on metal doors up to 7/8 inch thick, and it works well for retail display cases and security cabinets where the cam engages a strike supplied by others.
