986 drawer lock from Knape and Vogt is a deadbolt-style drawer lock that mounts to material up to 7/8 inch thick, so it works with many typical drawer fronts and panels in cabinetry or casework. The lock sits on a mounting flange measuring 1-1/2 inch by 2 inch wide, giving a defined footprint that helps position the lock squarely on the drawer face. The barrel outside diameter of 7/8 inch matches the stated mounting capacity, so the body fits through a matching bore while the flange bears against the surface. Bolt travel of 3/8 inch provides a short, positive throw suited to engaging a strike or frame edge without over-travel. A polished nickel finish gives the visible face of the lock a clean, bright look that blends with common nickel cabinet hardware. The 986KA 70 NP version is available keyed alike, simplifying operation when multiple locks share the same key.
This Knape and Vogt 986 drawer lock is designed to mount to material up to 7/8 inch thick, so fabricators can plan drawer fronts or panels within that range and still accommodate the lock body. The 1-1/2 inch by 2 inch mounting flange defines a rectangular face that rests against the inside or outside surface, which helps installers align the lock square and distribute turning forces on the drawer. With a barrel outside diameter of 7/8 inch, the lock fits a matching round bore through the drawer material, so drilling a single correctly sized hole establishes the main interface. Bolt travel of 3/8 inch delivers a concise deadbolt stroke that engages a mating edge or strike within a small clearance zone, which can simplify designing the receiving point in the cabinet or frame.
The 986 drawer lock is part of the Knape and Vogt line of deadbolt locks, so it is suited to drawers and similar sliding storage where a deadbolt action is preferred. Because it mounts to material up to 7/8 inch thick, it fits many cabinet drawer fronts, utility drawers, and light casework where that thickness is common. The 1-1/2 inch by 2 inch mounting flange provides a flat bearing surface that can sit against wood, composite, or similar panel materials used in woodworking projects. With a 7/8 inch barrel outside diameter, this lock works in drawers bored for that specific diameter, so shops can standardize on that hole size for repeated installations. The polished nickel finish suits applications where the lock face is visible on finished cabinetry, such as office furniture, shop storage, or residential built-ins using nickel hardware.
The stated ability to mount to material up to 7/8 inch thick means the 986 drawer lock can pass through and clamp against drawer fronts without thinning them, which helps keep drawer construction robust while still accepting the lock. A 7/8 inch barrel outside diameter matched to that thickness lets the body occupy the bore snugly, helping resist rotation and maintain alignment between the key cylinder and the bolt housing. The 3/8 inch bolt travel is significant because it sets the working engagement length of the deadbolt, giving enough projection to reach a cabinet frame edge or strike while still retracting fully into the lock body. This short, defined stroke can make layout of the mating strike simpler, since the installer knows how far the bolt will extend past the lock edge. The polished nickel finish also matters in repeat work, because it coordinates with other polished nickel components, allowing builders to present a consistent hardware appearance across multiple drawers in the same project. Availability keyed alike in the 986KA 70 NP variant adds practical value when several drawers in a run need to operate on a single key pattern, which can reduce key counts in shops, offices, or storage installations.
