SDC 290 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage do I need to run an SDC 290 cabinet lock?
Power it at 24VDC. The 290 is a field selectable dual voltage lock, so the operating voltage is set at install rather than ordered as a separate part number, with 24VDC as the standard. Size your supply and wire run for the whole bank of locks if you are doing a full cabinet job, not just one.
2) Do I have to order the SDC 290 handed for a left or right cabinet door?
No handing to specify. The 290 is non-handed, so the same lock goes on a left or right hand cabinet door with no modification. That matters when you are standardizing across a run of casework and don't want two part numbers on the order.
3) Does the SDC 290 work on sliding cabinet doors or only swinging ones?
Both. The 290 Series bolt lock is built for cabinets and drawers with sliding or swinging doors, which is why it shows up on retail display cases with bypass glass as often as on hinged utility cabinets.
4) What is the Bolt Position Switch option on the SDC 290, and do I need it?
BPS is the one choice you make when ordering the 290: with it or without it. The bolt position switch reports whether the bolt is actually thrown, so an access control panel or monitoring system can show a secured or unsecured state per cabinet. If the lock is just being pulsed open from a keypad or remote and nobody is monitoring status, the non-BPS version is all you need. If it feeds a head end that has to log or annunciate cabinet status, order BPS.
5) Should I use an electric cabinet bolt like the SDC 290 or a mechanical keyed cabinet lock?
Pick the electric bolt when the cabinet has to tie into access control, log or release remotely, or be opened without issuing keys. Pick mechanical when there is no power at the casework and one person carries the key. On the mechanical side ZenSupply carries the Sargent 4142 horizontal cabinet lock with a 6-pin brass cylinder and the Sargent 1655 6-pin cabinet lock, which is field reversible for handing, plus the BEST 3L dead-locking cabinet lock in a 7-pin SFIC housing if you key your facility on small format cores. The Lockey C170 is a middle path, a surface mount keyless digital combination cam lock needing no wiring, rated for 1-1/8 to 2 inch door thickness.
6) What is the closest alternative to the SDC 290 if I need another dual voltage electric cabinet lock?
The DynaLock 1410 Series is the direct counterpart, a dual voltage cabinet lock listed as heavy duty. It is the one to look at when the 290's micro footprint isn't the constraint and you want a heavier body. If instead you want the credential built into the lock rather than wired back to a panel, the HES KP20 is a stand-alone keypad cabinet lock and the HES KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control, both Grade 1.
7) Does the SDC 290 include a keypad, or do I need a separate credential reader?
The SDC 290 is the locking device only - it is an electric bolt lock that releases on 24VDC, so the keypad, card reader or remote control is a separate part of the system. If you want the credential built into the lock, the HES KP20 is a stand-alone keypad cabinet lock and the HES KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control, both Grade 1.
8) We key our cabinets to the building master - is the SDC 290 the right choice?
No, the SDC 290 is a keyless electronic bolt lock with no cylinder, so it cannot be brought into a master key system. For cabinets that need to follow the building keyway, the BEST 3L is a dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing and vertical rim mounting and the BEST 5L is a coin box cabinet lock with a 7-pin SFIC core housing, both taking interchangeable cores. 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.
9) Can I run the SDC 290 from a keypad or a remote release instead of keys?
That is the intended use. The 290 is an electric bolt, so it takes its release signal from whatever you put in front of it, a keypad, a card reader, a remote button, or a panel output. There is no cylinder and no key to manage, which is the reason most pharmacy and museum case jobs go this direction.
10) I'm securing a server rack, not casework. Is the SDC 290 the right lock?
For a server cabinet you are usually better served by a lock built for that enclosure. ZenSupply carries the HES KS-M mechanical server cabinet lock and the HES KS200 server cabinet lock with Wiegand wired access control, both Grade 1. The SDC 290 is a micro electric bolt for cabinets and drawers with sliding or swinging doors, so it fits a rack only if you have somewhere to mount the bolt body and a strike line that works.
11) For pharmacy drawers that need audit-capable high security keying rather than wiring, what替s comparable to the SDC 290?
Look at the Sargent KESO F1 line. The 4152 is a cabinet lock for drawers with security system integration and the 4252 is a drawer cabinet lock with field reversible operation. Both are mechanical high security cylinder locks for drawer applications, while the SDC 290 secures pharmaceutical cabinets and drawers electronically on 24VDC and is non-handed out of the box.
12) Which cabinet lock do I need if I have to monitor whether the bolt is actually thrown?
The SDC 290 is ordered with or without a Bolt Position Switch, so the monitored version reports bolt status back to the panel. Among the alternatives, the HES KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control if you want the credential and the lock on one wired device instead.
13) I have a sliding glass display case - will a standard cam cabinet lock work, or do I need the SDC 290?
The SDC 290 is designed for both sliding and swinging cabinet doors and is non-handed, which makes it suitable for sliding retail display cases and museum display cases. A cam-style lock such as the Lockey C170, a surface mount keyless digital combination cam lock with a low profile design, is a different mounting approach and is specified for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Confirm the door construction against the mounting style before ordering.
14) Is the SDC 290 bolt lock rated for commercial use or is it a residential cabinet lock?
Commercial. The 290 Series is catalogued for commercial cabinet security, and the typical applications are pharmaceutical cabinets, gun cabinets, museum display cases, retail display drawers, and file and utility cabinets, all places where access has to be controlled rather than just latched.
