SDC SDC295 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the SDC 295 cabinet lock fit my existing cam lock cabinet doors and drawers?
The 295 is built for cam lock compatible doors and drawers, new or retrofit, in both metal and wood cabinetry. It has multiple locking cam positions so you can orient the cam for a door or a drawer. What decides the job is space behind the face: the body measures 4-3/4 inch H x 1-2/5 inch W x 4/5 inch D, and 1-2/5 inch D once the dial is counted. Measure the clearance inside the cabinet against that depth before you pull the old cam lock.
2) How many people can I give codes to on an SDC 295 keypad cabinet lock?
Up to 30 individual users, each with a 4 to 6 digit PIN. One master code holds full programming control, and a sub-master code gives limited programming for user codes and unlock time only, which is how you let a floor supervisor add and drop staff without handing over the whole lock. Optional user changeable PIN lets people set their own code in the field.
3) Do I have to run wire to an SDC 295 cabinet lock?
No wiring at all. The 295 runs on two AAA batteries, which is the whole point of the design: no low voltage run, no transformer, no need to put the cabinet near a power source. That makes it workable on freestanding casework and moveable storage where pulling wire is not practical.
4) What happens if the batteries die on a keypad cabinet lock with no wiring?
You still get in. The 295 has a concealed mechanical key override and a battery failure override, so a dead battery is an inconvenience rather than a drilled-out lock. That matters most on medication carts, controlled supply cabinets, and anywhere the contents cannot wait for a service call.
5) We key our whole facility on small format interchangeable core - can we standardize cabinets on the SDC 295?
Not on the same key system. The SDC 295 is credentialed by PIN code at the keypad with a concealed mechanical key override, so it is not part of an SFIC keying scheme. For cabinets that need to fall under the facility core system, the BEST 5L is a coin box cabinet lock with a 7-pin SFIC core housing and the BEST 3L is a dead-locking cabinet lock with a 7-pin housing in a vertical rim mounting. Those accept the same core family the rest of the building is keyed on; the 295 is the choice when you want codes issued and revoked without pulling cores.
6) What is the closest keypad alternative to the SDC 295 cabinet lock?
The HES KP20 is the nearest stand-alone keypad cabinet lock to the SDC 295. Both are keypad-operated cabinet locks that run without a wired connection to the cabinet; the KP20 is a Grade 1 stand-alone keypad cabinet lock, while the SDC 295 is battery operated on two AAA cells and holds up to 30 user PIN codes of 4 to 6 digits with a master and sub-master code structure. If the specifying question is a published ANSI grade for a facility standard, the KP20 carries the Grade 1 designation.
7) I need keyless entry on a cabinet but do not need 30 user codes - what is simpler than the SDC 295?
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 is mechanical rather than electronic, so there is no battery to change and no user code database to administer - one combination opens it. The SDC 295 is the choice when you need up to 30 separate user codes, LED status feedback, and a programmable unlock time of 1 to 9 seconds; the C170 is the choice when one shared code on a cam lock opening is all the job asks for.
8) Our cabinets need to tie into the building access control system - is the SDC 295 the right lock?
No. The SDC 295 is a standalone lock: codes live in the lock itself and it runs on two AAA batteries with no low voltage wiring. For an opening that has to report to and be governed by a head end, the HES KS200 is a Grade 1 server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control, and the DynaLock 1410 is a heavy duty dual voltage cabinet lock. Both are wired parts, so the cabinet has to be able to receive power and, in the KS200's case, a Wiegand run back to the panel.
9) Should I use a keypad cabinet lock or a keyed cam lock for a shared file cabinet?
It comes down to who needs access and how often that changes. The SDC 295 keypad gives 30 separate PINs you can add or delete on the spot, so turnover costs nothing. A keyed cam lock like the Sargent 4142 horizontal cabinet lock with its 6-pin brass cylinder means cutting and tracking keys for every holder, but it ties into a key system you already run. Cabinets on a facility masterkey usually stay mechanical; cabinets with rotating staff are where the keypad pays off.
10) How long does the cabinet stay unlocked after I punch the code in?
Unlock time is adjustable from 1 to 9 seconds, factory set at 3. You can also set the lock for multiple use or one-time use mode, which is useful for a single supervised retrieval from a secure storage cabinet. The keypad has tamper lockout to shut down code guessing, and LED indicators show status as you program.
11) What is the difference between the SDC 295 and the HES KP20 keypad cabinet lock?
Both are stand-alone keypad cabinet locks, so neither needs a head-end or a card system. The SDC 295 is battery powered on two AAA cells with 30 user codes and a concealed mechanical key override. The HES KP20 is a Grade 1 stand-alone keypad cabinet lock. If your specification calls out a grade on cabinet hardware, that is the one carrying it.
12) I need a cabinet lock that ties into our access control system, not a standalone keypad. What should I look at?
The SDC 295 is standalone by design, it stores its own 30 codes and reports to nothing. For a lock that talks to a system, the HES KS200 server cabinet lock is Wiegand integrated wired access control, and the DynaLock 1410 Series is a dual voltage cabinet lock for wired electric release. Choose those when you want cabinet events on the same platform as your doors; choose the 295 when you want no wire in the casework.
13) Can I standardize one keyless cabinet lock across a whole floor of casework?
Yes, and the 295 is set up for it. Every lock takes its own 30 user codes with a master and sub-master, so you can run one code scheme building-wide and still change one cabinet without touching the rest. Multiple cam positions cover the mix of hinged doors and drawers you get across a floor of casework, and because each unit is self-powered on AAA cells there is no wiring plan to coordinate with the electrician.
14) My cabinet door is about an inch and a half thick. Is a surface mount keyless cam lock a better bet than a through-body keypad?
The SDC 295 mounts through the door as a cam lock, so what governs is the 4-3/4 x 1-2/5 x 4/5 inch body and the clearance behind the face rather than a published thickness range. If you need a stated thickness range to check against, the Lockey C170 mechanical surface mount keyless combination cam cabinet lock covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The C170 is mechanical with no batteries and no user list; the 295 gives you 30 codes and electronic control.
15) What should I use instead of the SDC 295 on a drawer rather than a cabinet door?
The SDC 295 is built for cam lock compatible doors and drawers with multiple locking cam positions, and it needs 4-3/4 inch of height by 1-2/5 inch of width on the face, plus 1-2/5 inch of depth behind with the dial. On a shallow drawer face where that keypad footprint does not fit, the Sargent KESO F1 4152 is a cabinet lock for drawers with security system integration, and the KESO F1 4252 is a drawer lock with field reversible operation. Both are keyed cylinder locks, so access changes are made at the key rather than at a code.
16) I need the cabinet lock to hand left or right in the field - does the SDC 295 do that?
The SDC 295 handles the mounting question with multiple locking cam positions for various cabinet door and drawer configurations rather than with a reversible body. If the requirement on the drawing is explicitly field reversible handing, the Sargent 1655 is a 6-pin cabinet lock with field reversible handing and the Sargent KESO F1 4252 is a drawer lock with field reversible operation. Those are cylinder locks; the 295 stays the option when the opening needs keypad codes instead of keys.
17) Is a server cabinet lock a substitute for the SDC 295 on office file cabinets?
They look adjacent but they are aimed at different openings. The HES KS-M is a mechanical server cabinet lock and the HES KS200 is a server cabinet lock with Wiegand integrated wired access control, both Grade 1 - those are built around rack and server enclosure openings. The SDC 295 is a commercial cabinet lock for cam lock compatible metal and wood cabinetry, with applications spanning office file cabinets, healthcare medication and supply storage, educational lockers, retail display cases and electrical enclosures. Confirm the enclosure style before swapping one for the other.
18) If I want a mechanical lock that still needs no wiring, what compares to the SDC 295?
Two mechanical routes cover that. The Lockey C170 is a surface mount keyless digital combination cam cabinet lock in a low profile design for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick, opened by combination with no power at all. The HES KS-M is a Grade 1 mechanical server cabinet lock. The SDC 295 sits between them: it is electronic but self-powered on two AAA batteries, with keypad tamper lockout, a concealed mechanical key override and a battery failure override so the cabinet still opens if the cells die.
19) Is the SDC 295 rated for commercial use or is it a residential-grade lock?
Commercial. SDC classifies the 295 as commercial cabinet hardware, and the feature set follows: multi-user code management, tamper lockout, mechanical override. It is used on office file cabinets, healthcare medication and supply storage, school equipment lockers, retail display cases, electrical enclosures and control panels, and municipal document storage.
20) Does the SDC 295 come in different sizes or configurations, or is there just the one model?
One model, the 295. There is no size or finish matrix to choose from, so ordering is a single part. The configuration you set happens after install: cam position for a door or drawer, unlock time from 1 to 9 seconds, multiple or one-time use mode, and up to 30 user PINs.
21) Which cabinet lock is specified as heavy duty compared with the SDC 295?
The DynaLock 1410 is the heavy duty option in the dual voltage cabinet lock family. It is a wired part, so the cabinet needs power brought to it. The SDC 295 is a commercial standalone lock that draws its power from two AAA batteries, which is what lets it go into retrofit locations where no low voltage run exists.
