Panduit SDLOCK-017 Cabinet Door Lock Kit
The Panduit SDLOCK-017 is a physical security lock kit engineered for cabinet and enclosure door control in data centers, network closets, and equipment rooms. Sold as a single-unit package (carton quantity of 30 for volume deployments), this black-finish lock kit integrates with Panduit cabinets and enclosures to restrict unauthorized access at the door level — a straightforward but critical layer in any layered physical security strategy.
Overview
Physical access control inside the rack room is frequently the last mile that gets overlooked. IT architects and security integrators who spend months specifying IP cameras and VMS platforms sometimes leave the cabinet door itself secured by nothing more than a common key shared across a facility. The SDLOCK-017 addresses that gap directly. Finished in black to match standard Panduit cabinet aesthetics, it is designed to drop into Panduit's cabinet and enclosure lineup without modification. RoHS compliance means it meets the EU's Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive — a procurement requirement for many enterprise, government, and healthcare buyers. SDLOCK-017 (often searched as SDLOCK 017) ships as one lock kit per package, so you can order exactly what each cabinet requires rather than buying a bulk pack when you only need to retrofit a handful of doors.
Key Features
- Single-Unit Packaging: One lock kit per package (carton quantity of 30 available for larger rollouts) means you can specify exact quantities per cabinet without overstocking. No waste on a 10-cabinet retrofit when you need 10 locks, not 30.
- RoHS Compliance: Meets the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances standard — a hard procurement requirement for government, healthcare, and enterprise buyers operating under environmental or export-control purchasing policies. If your procurement checklist requires RoHS documentation, this kit clears that gate.
- Black Finish: Matches standard Panduit cabinet colorways, so the lock integrates visually rather than standing out as an afterthought. Relevant in customer-facing equipment rooms or co-location environments where cabinet appearance matters.
- Purpose-Built for Panduit Cabinets and Enclosures: Designed within Panduit's cabinets, thermal management, racks, and enclosures product family, meaning fit and finish are validated against Panduit door hardware — not a generic retrofit that may require drilling or shimming.
- Volume Pricing at Carton Quantity: The carton quantity of 30 units makes this practical for data center buildouts or campus-wide standardization programs where you are securing dozens of cabinets under a single procurement order.
- Physical Security Layer: A keyed cabinet lock is the simplest, most auditable form of access control for equipment enclosures — no software, no battery, no network dependency. When a door is locked, it is locked regardless of what else is happening on the network.
Integration and Compatibility
The SDLOCK-017 is positioned within Panduit's cabinet accessories category, making it the natural companion to Panduit's NetAccess and standard rack enclosure lines. If you are specifying or retrofitting Panduit cabinets as part of a broader physical security program — integrating door-level access control alongside camera coverage and access control panels — this lock kit handles the mechanical layer. Verify door model compatibility with Panduit's cabinet lineup before ordering; lock kits are hardware-specific and not universally interchangeable across enclosure brands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Panduit SDLOCK-017 RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The SDLOCK-017 is confirmed RoHS compliant, meeting the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. This is a hard procurement requirement for many government, healthcare, and enterprise buyers.
Q: How many lock kits are included per package?
A: One lock kit per package. The carton quantity is 30 units, which is useful for bulk procurement on larger cabinet deployments.
Q: What color is the SDLOCK-017?
A: Black, matching standard Panduit cabinet and enclosure aesthetics.
Q: What product category does the SDLOCK-017 belong to?
A: It is classified under Panduit's cabinets, thermal management, racks, and enclosures — specifically as a cabinet accessory for door security.
Q: Is the SDLOCK-017 compatible with all cabinet brands?
A: The SDLOCK-017 is designed within the Panduit cabinet accessories family. Compatibility with non-Panduit enclosures is not confirmed by available evidence — verify door hardware specifications with Panduit before ordering for non-Panduit cabinets.
Q: Is the SDLOCK-017 NDAA Section 889 compliant?
A: NDAA compliance is not confirmed in the available product documentation for the SDLOCK-017. Contact Panduit directly for NDAA Section 889 compliance verification if required for your procurement.
The SDLOCK-017 is one of those parts that shows up late in a project but matters more than people expect. When I'm reviewing a cabinet deployment checklist, a missing or generic door lock is the kind of gap that gets flagged in a physical security audit — and Panduit's RoHS-compliant lock kit in black is the right answer for any facility standardized on Panduit enclosures. One unit per package keeps ordering clean on a per-cabinet basis.
Technical Highlights:
- RoHS Compliance: Satisfies the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive — a non-negotiable line item for government, healthcare, and regulated enterprise procurement. If your PO requires an RoHS-compliant lock kit, the SDLOCK-017 clears it without a waiver process.
- Package Quantity of 1: Single-unit packaging means you order exactly what the scope requires. On a 12-cabinet rollout, you buy 12 — not a 30-unit carton you'll be tracking as surplus inventory for six months.
- Carton Quantity of 30: For larger deployments — a new co-lo row, a campus data center buildout — the 30-unit carton aligns with procurement minimums and simplifies receiving. Order one carton per row of 30 cabinets and you're done.
Deployment Considerations:
- The SDLOCK-017 is designed for Panduit's cabinet and enclosure family. Before specifying it for a mixed-brand environment, confirm that the door profile matches Panduit's lock hardware geometry — generic retrofits on non-Panduit doors frequently require shimming or drilling that voids the enclosure warranty.
- No keying information (master key, unique key, or keyed-alike) is confirmed in the available evidence. If your deployment requires keyed-alike locks across all cabinets (common in shared-access co-lo environments) or a master-key hierarchy, verify keying options with Panduit before placing a bulk order of 30.
The SDLOCK-017 is the right call for facilities standardized on Panduit cabinets that need to close a physical access control gap — particularly in network closets and equipment rooms where camera coverage exists but door-level keyed access has not been formally specified.
