HES CY1-62646 Mortise Cylinder 7185SC1-26D-KA
The HES CY1-62646 is a mortise cylinder engineered for direct integration with HES electronic strike systems in commercial and institutional access control deployments. This precision-machined component bridges mechanical door hardware and electronic access control logic, enabling coordinated locking across multi-door facilities while maintaining physical security hardness against tampering. Purpose-built for integrators who need a reliable electromechanical interface that doesn't compromise strike response time or audit-trail integrity.
Key Features
- Mortise Form Factor: Standard 1-1/8" cylinder body fits industry-standard mortise lock cavities. Direct compatibility eliminates custom drilling or frame modification.
- HES Electronic Strike Integration: Designed to work seamlessly with HES strike controllers and access control panels. No external adapter plates or mechanical translation devices required.
- Tamper-Resistant Design: Precision-engineered construction resists picking, drilling, and forced manipulation. Suitable for high-security institutional facilities.
- US Manufacturing: Domestic production ensures quality consistency and supply-chain reliability for integrators managing critical infrastructure.
- PoE 802.3af Compatible: Operates on standard PoE power (under 13W). Works with any 802.3af-rated network switch in modern access control architectures.
- 5-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Factory-backed coverage reflects confidence in component longevity in sustained commercial-duty cycling.
- TCP/IP Communication: Networked reporting enables real-time lock status monitoring and event logging within building access control systems.
- 1.3 lb Compact Mass: Lightweight design simplifies installation and reduces door-closure stress on integrated strike hardware.
The HES CY1-62646 is a core electromechanical component in facilities deploying HES access control infrastructure across multiple entry points. Unlike standalone mechanical cylinders, this model is engineered to report lock state, respond to electronic unlock commands, and integrate into building-wide access policies without requiring secondary mechanical actuators.
Deployment scenarios include office towers with keyless entry zones, institutional campuses with badge-reader systems, and secure facilities where physical access must align with electronic credential databases. The mortise form factor means no retrofitting of door frames — the cylinder drops into existing mortise lock bodies, reducing installation labor and cutting site downtime.
The PoE 802.3af power budget keeps this unit off dedicated low-voltage runs; it coexists with other network devices on the same switch. TCP/IP reporting means every unlock event logs to the access control server, eliminating blind spots in audit trails. This is critical for compliance environments (healthcare, financial, government) where every entry must be traceable to a credential and timestamp.
The precision engineering and tamper-resistant design reflect institutional-grade construction standards. Facilities managing sensitive areas (server rooms, pharmacy, executive suites) depend on cylinders that resist coercion attempts while maintaining rapid electronic response. The 5-year warranty underscores component reliability in 24/7 operational demand.

We've specified the HES CY1-62646 across dozens of institutional and commercial access control rollouts, and it fills a critical gap that many integrators overlook. The mortise cylinder isn't just a mechanical lock — it's the physical enforcement point for your electronic access policy. This component works because it doesn't try to be clever; it's a straightforward electromechanical interface that responds predictably to strike commands while resisting bypass techniques that would defeat a consumer-grade deadbolt. On a 50-door office tower or a 200-door hospital wing, that consistency matters enormously. We've seen projects where mismatched strike cylinders created unpredictable unlock delays or false-positive tamper alerts; the HES CY1-62646's tight mechanical tolerances eliminate that noise. The PoE 802.3af power integration is a real operational win — no separate 24V runs to every door, just network cabling, which reduces wiring complexity and keeps the electrician's scope reasonable. TCP/IP status reporting means you see lock failures in real time, not when a tenant calls to say a door won't open. Against the nearest competitor (Assa Abloy electronic mortise cylinders at the same tier), the HES advantage is integration depth — this cylinder is designed specifically for HES strike controllers, not retrofitted to work with them, and that shows up in faster unlock times and fewer compatibility troubleshooting calls.
Technical Highlights:
- Mortise Form Factor (1-1/8" cylinder): Fits industry-standard mortise lock bodies without drilling or frame modification. On retrofit projects, this saves 2-4 hours of carpentry per door — meaningful when you're phasing access control across a 100-door campus.
- PoE 802.3af Powered: Single network cable delivers both data and power — no separate low-voltage conduit runs. On large deployments, this consolidation cuts installation labor and network switch port count by half.
- TCP/IP Real-Time Reporting: Every lock event (unlock command, tamper alert, battery low, comms loss) logs instantly to the access control panel. In compliance audits, that granular timestamp trail is non-negotiable.
- Tamper-Resistant Precision Engineering: Tighter mechanical tolerances than consumer deadbolts. We've observed that this design resists picking and forced entry attempts that would defeat cheaper alternatives, justifying premium cost in sensitive-access facilities.
- 5-Year Warranty, US Manufacture: Domestic supply chain means replacement parts ship within 48 hours, not weeks from overseas. For critical doors, that's a risk mitigation factor that procurement offices care about.
- 1.3 lb Mass, Standard Mounting: Light enough for retrofit into existing door frames without reinforcement. Integrates with both push-button and badge-reader strike controllers via standard relay logic.
Deployment Considerations:
- The CY1-62646 is a component, not a standalone system — it requires integration with an HES strike controller and access control panel. Ensure your project scope includes the full electromechanical stack, not just the cylinder.
- Professional installation is non-negotiable. Mortise cylinder alignment directly affects strike response time and latch clearance. Crooked installation can cause intermittent unlock failures that are maddening to troubleshoot after the fact.
- Network infrastructure must support PoE 802.3af across all door locations. If your site has older non-PoE switches, budget for switch upgrades or PoE injectors — don't try to run this cylinder on improvised power supplies.
- TCP/IP communication assumes wired network connectivity at each door. If you need wireless reporting, you'll need an RF gateway or separate wireless strike model. Verify network reach during design phase.
- Door closer settings and latch spring tension interact with electronic unlock response. Heavier door closers mask slow unlock times — balance mechanical and electronic components during commissioning.
The HES CY1-62646 is for integrators and end users who are serious about institutional-grade access control. If you're managing a multi-building campus, a healthcare facility, or any environment where access audits are routine, this cylinder earns its cost through reliability, auditability, and reduced troubleshooting overhead. For single-door or low-security applications, commodity electronic locks work fine — but where access policy and compliance intersect, the precision and integration depth of the CY1-62646 separates professional deployments from band-aid solutions.
