Olympus DCN1 Pin Tumbler Cam Lock, 3/4" Material Thickness, Satin Chrome, Keyed Alike 915 - DCN1-26D-915

Olympus DCN1 Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Secure Panels

Olympus DCN1 pin tumbler cam lock uses a zinc die cast body and cylinder to create a compact lock solution for cabinet and panel applications where metal components are preferred. The pin tumbler cylinder structure provides a keyed locking interface that supports controlled access in woodworking or casework projects. The lock is keyed alike 915, so multiple DCN1-26D-915 units share the same key number 915, simplifying keyed access across several doors or drawers on the same jobsite. The 1 inch face on the cylinder covers splintering around the bore, helping the finished opening present a clean edge when drilled in wood or similar materials. This face design also eliminates the need for an additional trim ring, which reduces the number of separate components the installer must handle during lock installation.

Keyed Alike N Series Cam Lock Details That Matter

• The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, lets the lock operate with that profile so projects using those key systems can align lock selection with existing key patterns.
• Stock keying as KD or KA in a 4-pin standard format means the cylinder is built around a known pin configuration, which supports predictable key control on projects using standard N Series setups.
• Stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 define specific keyed alike groups, allowing installers to organize doors and drawers into planned keying zones across a facility.
• Masterkeyed operation with a 5-pin standard setup and grand masterkeyed availability allows the lock to participate in tiered key systems, supporting layered access levels in commercial millwork.
• Cams using a reversible design that works in all positions allow the same lock body to be oriented for different door swing or drawer configurations, reducing part variation on repeat installations.
• The satin chrome 26D finish provides a neutral metallic appearance that coordinates with many hinge and pull finishes, supporting visual consistency on cabinet fronts and casework.

Cam Lock Installation And 3/4 Inch Material Fit

This Olympus DCN1-26D-915 cam lock is specified for 3/4 inch material thickness, so the standard body length is matched to typical cabinet doors and drawer fronts built from that thickness. The 1 inch face sits on the exterior surface while the body extends through the bore, allowing the cam hardware to operate on the back side of the panel. The key removable function in both locked and unlocked positions lets installers operate and remove the key without needing a spring return, which can speed up function checks during trim-out. Since the face covers splintering around the drilled hole, the installer can rely on the lock face to mask minor chipping from boring operations.

Using This Olympus N Series Cam Lock In Projects

Where The DCN1-26D-915 Cam Lock Is Applied

The Olympus DCN1 pin tumbler cam lock belongs to the cam locks class, so it serves as a rotary locking point on cabinet or panel doors where a cam engages behind the frame or strike. The zinc die cast body and cylinder allow the lock to be used in typical interior woodworking environments where metal lock hardware is appropriate. Because the unit is keyed alike 915 and part of the N Series keyway family, it can be placed across multiple doors or drawers that are intended to open with the same key number, which is useful for grouped storage such as banks of cabinets. When a project calls for N Series keying equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, this lock fits that profile, tying into broader key plans in shops or facilities already using those keyways.

Why The Grade 1 Design Supports Repeatable Results

The DCN1-26D-915 cam lock has passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, which means the lock design has been tested to a recognized performance level for cam locks under that standard. This Grade 1 performance level supports repeatable function in demanding commercial or institutional casework where locks are cycled frequently. The standard function allows the key to be removed in both locked and unlocked positions, reducing the need to hold the key while verifying latch engagement during punch-out. Two reversible cams that work in all positions provide flexibility, so the same lock can be set up for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation and various latch engagements, which reduces rework when layout details change. Being a Woodwork Institute acknowledged product gives the lock a defined place within woodworking specifications, supporting consistent hardware selection on WI-guided projects.
