The HES 610 is a compact electromechanical cabinet lock that brings access control to furniture: filing cabinets, fitted cupboards, drawers, safe-deposit boxes, and glass display cases. It delivers over 200 lbs of holding force from a small surface-mounted body, securing swinging or sliding doors and drawers where a full-size lock will not fit.
The lock is a two-part design - a locking element mounted inside the cabinet and a rosette on the door or drawer, engaging from the front or the top. Operating mode is set during installation simply by orienting the rosette: fail-secure (locked on power loss) or fail-safe (unlocked on power loss). An integrated retention mechanism keeps the door closed even while unlocked, so no separate magnetic snap is needed.
Wired to a key switch, keypad, or card reader system, the 610 runs on stabilized 12 or 24 VDC for continuous duty with low current draw. The 610LM model adds a locked state monitoring contact (SPDT, rated 25 V / 1 A) for audit and remote status in access control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What can the 610 secure?
- Furniture-scale openings: filing cabinets, fitted cupboards, drawers, safe-deposit boxes, and glass display cases - swinging or sliding.
- How do I set fail-safe or fail-secure?
- During installation, orient the rosette so the mark on the locking element points to the desired mode pictogram. Fail-secure stays locked on power loss.
- Does the door swing open when unlocked?
- No - an integrated retention mechanism keeps the door closed until pulled, so no separate magnetic snap is needed.
- What power does it require?
- Stabilized 12 or 24 VDC for continuous duty (260 mA / 130 mA). AC can unlock it but causes an audible buzz and is not recommended.
- Can it report status to my access control system?
- Yes - the 610LM model includes a locked state monitoring contact (SPDT, rated 25 V / 1 A).
- How does it connect to access control?
- It wires to a key switch for simple control, or to keypad and card reader systems for controlled, logged access.
