Understanding Cabinet Lock Types

Cabinet locks have evolved beyond simple mechanical options to include advanced electronic systems. Our collection features various types to meet your specific security needs:

     ● Electromagnetic Cabinet Locks: Deliver strong holding force with hidden installation capabilities, perfect for maintaining clean aesthetics while providing solid security.

     ● Monitored Cabinet Locks: These locks include latch monitoring functionality, which allows you to verify the locked status remotely, essential for high-security applications.

     ● Surface-Mounted Locks: Offer quick installation without extensively modifying your existing cabinets or drawers.

Electronic cabinet locks provide key advantages over traditional mechanical locks, including keyless operation, integration with access control systems, and improved security management. Cabinet locks are an essential part of a complete Access Control system, providing localized protection for valuables in drawers, enclosures, and equipment racks.

Applications for Electronic Cabinet Locks

Our cabinet locks are ideal for numerous settings:

     ● Commercial environments - Secure confidential documents, valuable inventory, and equipment

     ● Healthcare facilities - Protect medications and sensitive patient information

     ● Educational institutions - Safeguard lab equipment, supplies, and administrative records

     ● Residential spaces - Secure valuables or create child-proof storage solutions

Most electronic cabinet locks are easily integrated with standard Control Panels and Kits for centralized access management.

Choosing the Right Cabinet Lock

When selecting a cabinet lock, consider these important factors:

Voltage Requirements

Most electronic cabinet locks operate on 12V or 24V DC power supplies. Before making your selection, ensure compatibility with your existing access control system.

Many electronic cabinet locks can be triggered using secure Credentials, including proximity cards or key fobs.

Installation Method

Our selection includes both concealed and surface-mounted options. Concealed locks provide a cleaner aesthetic but require more detailed installation, while surface-mounted solutions offer more straightforward do-it-yourself installation.

Like Electric Strikes, cabinet locks use low-voltage power to secure entry points, but in a more compact form factor.

Monitoring Capabilities

For applications requiring lock status verification, choose models with integrated latch monitoring functionality, such as the Rutherford Controls 3510LM or HES 660-24V-LBSM.

Holding Force

Consider the required security level when selecting a lock. Higher-security applications may need locks with greater holding force to resist tampering attempts.
