CompX National Keyless Combination Lock, 1-3/8" Cylinder Length with Matte Black Finish - D8031-DA108-19

CompX National Keyless Combination Lock For Drawers And Doors

CompX National keyless combination lock uses a 1-3/8 inch cylinder length to secure drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors with flush or overlay construction, giving cabinet builders one lock format for multiple common layouts. The lock belongs to the magnetic key and keyless locks class, so it supports both combination and key-based operation in one unit, which helps match different user preferences on the same project. A required 3/4 inch diameter mounting hole defines the panel prep, so shop layouts can be standardized around that bore size. The matte black finish on the housing presents a low-glare look, which blends cleanly with modern casework where dark hardware is preferred.

Combination Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The ability to operate using either a combination or a key lets users choose their preferred access method while the installer keeps one product type on hand for varied applications.
• Suitability for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors with flush or overlay construction means the same lock style works across several cabinet configurations on a job.
• The required 3/4 inch diameter mounting hole defines a clear drilling dimension, helping shop and field crews produce consistent, repeatable lock prep in multiple panels.
• Once unlocked, rotating the housing 90 degrees clockwise to unlatch gives a predictable motion that ties directly to the installed cam position for reliable engagement.
• The matte black finish provides a dark, uniform appearance that coordinates with black hinges or pulls where a consistent hardware color scheme is specified.

Cam Lock Mounting And Operation Workflow

The 1-3/8 inch cylinder length on this CompX National lock sets how far the body projects through drawer or door material, guiding panel thickness choices where full thread and nut engagement are needed. A 3/4 inch diameter mounting hole is required, so boring equipment can be set once and used across all locations using this lock. To unlock using the combination, the user turns the wheels until the correct combination appears in the combination windows, then presses the button and rotates clockwise, which translates directly into cam movement. To lock with the combination, the user scrambles the wheels on the dial, which removes the readable code from the windows and helps prevent casual access. For key operation, the user inserts the key and rotates 90 degrees to unlock, then rotates the housing to release the cam from the strike area.

Dual Axess Cam Lock Use And Security Details

Where This Dual Axess Combination Cam Lock Fits

This Dual Axess 1-3/8 inch combination cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors using flush or overlay construction, so it fits typical cabinet fronts in shops, offices, and storage casework that follow those build styles. The lock requires a 3/4 inch diameter mounting hole, which aligns with a straightforward single-bore prep in wood or similar materials that can accept that diameter. The product sits in the magnetic key and keyless locks category, so it suits projects where reduced reliance on keyed-only locks is desired while still retaining a key option when specified. The 1-3/8 inch cylinder length works with fronts that accommodate that reach, helping the cam sit in the proper plane relative to your frame or strike layout.

How Dual Axess Features Support Repeatable Results

The feature that allows operation using a combination or a key offers flexibility when planning access levels, because building managers can give some users the combination while retaining keyed control using the same unit. Unlocking by turning wheels until the correct combination appears in the combination windows, then pressing the button and rotating clockwise, creates a simple, teachable sequence that reduces user error once installed. When unlocking with the key, inserting the key and rotating 90 degrees before rotating the housing to unlock clearly separates the authorization step from the mechanical release, which supports predictable cam travel. To lock after key use, rotating the key 90 degrees counter clockwise to lock re-engages the internal disc tumbler mechanism, which helps maintain consistent security behavior across all locks keyed alike. Keying that works together with all other disc tumbler locks using D8770 means one key system can operate multiple locations, simplifying key management on larger cabinet runs. Master keying being standard provides another control tier, because a master key can operate these locks while individual users rely on their combination or local keys.
