Hammond HWMSLOCK Keyed-Differently Front Door Lock, Mild Steel

The HWMSLOCK is an optional front door replacement lock for HWM Series swing-out wall-mount rack cabinets. On a standard HWM cabinet the front door and the rear section are keyed alike, so fitting this keyed-differently lock lets the installer separate access to the front door from access to the rest of the cabinet. It is aimed at IT and telecom installers, AV integrators and facilities teams who want to finish a rack build and then restrict who can open the front door.

The lock is built from mild steel and is supplied as a single replacement unit in a bag, with a shipping weight of 0.5 lbs (0.23 kg). It replaces the existing front door lock on the cabinet, so no additional cabinet modification information is required beyond swapping the factory-fitted lock.

Hammond lists HWMSLOCK under UL file number E474597 and states it is RoHS and REACH compliant, USMCA compliant and TAA-compliant, with standards references of cULus, PCI and Zone 4. Country of origin is Canada, the tariff code is 8301.40.6060 and the ECCN is EAR99 — useful details for government, education and other regulated procurement where documentation is required.

Typical applications for HWMSLOCK include network closets and communication rooms where an HWM cabinet houses active equipment and the front door needs its own key, and multi-cabinet deployments where different technicians or departments are responsible for different enclosures. Because it is a direct front door lock replacement for the HWM Series, it keeps the cabinet's original enclosed, secure form factor intact while changing the keying.
