SECURITRON SOLENOID CABINET LOCK
MODEL SCL-12 and SCL-24
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. DESCRIPTION
The SCL is a solenoid operated cabinet lock
which is installed and used for access control
applications such as pharmaceutical storage
lockers, jewelry cases, drawers and other
numerous types of cabinets and storage
devices. The lock is available in 12VDC or
24VDC and is a fail secure device only.
Relocking occurs automatically on closure of the
door. Holding force is 600 pounds (275 Kg)
which is generally stronger than the cabinet or
case being locked.
2. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
The SCL is adaptable for controlling a variety of doors and drawers. The principle is to attach the
lock body to the stationary frame and then attach the keeper to the movable portion such as a
door or drawer. Fasteners are supplied which can be applied in both metal and wood. Note:
The weakest point of an SCL installation is the strength of the keeper and the mounting
hardware. If the application expects to utilize the full force of the lock make sure the hardware
does not conflict with the security.
One of the unique features of the SCL-24 is that the keeper can enter the lock body from any of
three directions as shown in Figure 1. This allows efficient mounting on the three types of
applications, such as a swing type door or a pull-out type and sliding type door. Figure 4 and
Figure 5, located at the end of the instruction manual illustrates positioning of the applications
types.
Note: For a sliding door, some special work is necessary to recess the lock body (typically
through the use of a bracket) so that the door is able to close to the flush position.
Note: When mounting the keeper, one of the holes is elongated. The first screw should go in the
elongated hole and then the keeper can be precisely positioned with respect to the opening in
the lock body by experimentally closing the drawer or cabinet. When you are satisfied with the
position, the other screws may be installed to complete the mounting of the keeper.
