Description
Olympus DCN1 Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets
Olympus DCN1 pin tumbler cam lock is a zinc die cast cam lock designed for installations using 3/4 inch material thickness, so it suits common cabinet and casework constructions. The oil rubbed bronze finish provides a 10B appearance that aligns with darker decorative hardware where a bronze tone is required. The cylinder and body are both zinc die cast pin tumbler construction, giving a familiar pin-cylinder feel for key operation in cabinet applications. Keying as Stock KA# 107 allows this lock to be keyed alike with other N Series locks using the same KA107 code. The lock uses an N Series keyway equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, so it matches existing N Series key systems in shops using that platform.
Key Locking Details That Support Daily Use
- The lock is easily rekeyable via a cylinder retainer clip, so cylinders can be reconfigured when keying plans change on a project or in a facility.
- The standard function allows the key to be removable in both locked and unlocked positions, which supports workflows where keyed control is needed without leaving the key in the cylinder.
- Cams use two reversible designs that work in all positions, so installers can orient the locking action for vertical or horizontal doors and panels without switching to a different basic lock body.
- The 1 inch face covers splintering at the hole edge, allowing a clean finished look on drilled cabinet doors where a trim ring would otherwise be used for cosmetic coverage.
- The product has passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, so it meets a recognized cam lock performance standard for demanding commercial or institutional environments.
