The HES 660 Series is the strongest surface-mounted, multi-purpose cabinet locking solution in the HES line, delivering over 1,000 lbs of holding force to swinging or sliding cabinet doors and drawers. It brings door-grade electronic security to equipment cabinets, lockers, display cases, and secure storage in commercial and government environments.
The patented, all-metal lock withstands over 100 ft-lbs of dynamic impact and is endurance tested beyond 1,000,000 cycles. Operation is fail-secure: the electromechanical bolt stays mechanically locked when power is removed, unlike magnetic cabinet locks that release on power loss. Choose a 12 VDC or 24 VDC model with low continuous draw (240 mA @ 12 V, 120 mA @ 24 V).
Adjustable mounting brackets with a final lockdown feature and a 6 foot jacketed cable lead make installation straightforward on either door swing or on drawers. Options cover the demanding cases: LBSM locked state monitoring for alarm and access control supervision, a preload version that releases under up to 15 lbs of door pressure, an RJ-connector version, and the 660-KO mechanical key override kit. Every 660 carries a 3 year limited warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the 660 fail-safe or fail-secure?
- Fail-secure only - the bolt stays mechanically locked when power is removed. There is no fail-safe version.
- How does it compare to a magnetic cabinet lock?
- Magnetic locks need continuous power to hold; the 660 uses an electromechanical bolt that keeps the cabinet locked through power outages.
- What if the door is under pressure?
- Order the preload version - it releases smoothly with up to 15 lbs of force on the door, such as gasket pressure or someone pulling.
- Can it report lock status?
- Yes - the LBSM option provides a dry contact locked state output for alarm panels and access controllers.
- Is there a mechanical key backup?
- Yes - the 660-KO key override kit adds manual key access for emergencies.
- What power does it use?
- A 12 VDC or 24 VDC model, drawing 240 mA or 120 mA on continuous duty (700/350 mA on the preload version).
- How does it differ from the HES 610?
- The 610 is a compact lock rated around 200 lbs for low-abuse indoor cabinetry; the 660 delivers 1,000 lbs plus preload handling and monitoring for high-security applications.
