Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock, DCN2 7/8" Material Thickness with 3/4" Cylinder, Bright Brass, Keyed Different

Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Secure Panels

Olympus pin tumbler cam lock DCN2-US3-KD combines a zinc die cast body and zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder to create a sturdy cam lock solution for cabinet and casework applications where metal construction is valued. The DCN2 7/8 inch material thickness rating with a 3/4 inch cylinder length allows this cam lock to serve panels within that thickness range while maintaining proper cylinder engagement. The bright brass US3 finish provides a brass appearance that works where that finish is desired on visible lock faces. A 1 inch face covers splintering around the bore so the lock can conceal minor edge damage without an additional trim ring. The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, lets this lock function within layouts that already use those key platforms.

Practical Cam Lock Details That Support Use

• The keying can be matched with other N Series locks, so multiple lock points can work within the same N Series system where a coordinated key platform is wanted across several locations.
• The lock is easily rekeyable via a cylinder retainer clip, allowing keying to be changed when control of keys needs to be updated without discarding the lock body.
• The product passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, so it meets that referenced cam lock performance standard when used in projects calling for Grade 1 hardware.
• The body and cylinder use zinc die cast construction, which gives a consistent machined interface for the pin tumbler mechanism and cam operation in service.
• The standard function allows the key to be removable in the locked or unlocked position, which supports workflows where personnel remove keys after locking or prefer to leave the lock operated without holding the key.
• Two reversible cams work in all positions, so the cam orientation can be set to suit doors or drawers that need different throw directions while using the same lock body.

Cam Lock Fit, Face Coverage, And Alignment

The DCN2 7/8 inch material thickness specification with a 3/4 inch cylinder length positions this Olympus pin tumbler cam lock for panels around that thickness so the cylinder can project correctly to operate the cam. The 1 inch face diameter covers splintering at the hole edge, which lets installers drill standard bores in wood and have the lock face hide minor breakout for a cleaner appearance. The N Series keyway aligns this lock with National D4291 or D4292 type systems, so key blanks and key control can follow that established pattern. The combination of zinc die cast body and cylinder supports consistent mounting torque at the mounting nut and stable cam motion once installed.

Where This Olympus Cam Lock Works In Practice

N Series Keyway Use In Cabinet Locking

The N Series keyway on this Olympus pin tumbler cam lock, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, places the lock within a common commercial key platform so key cutting and key control can follow existing patterns in a shop or facility. Stock keying in KD/KA 4-pin standard, with stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915, supports layouts where certain locks are keyed alike while others are keyed different to separate access zones. Masterkeyed 5-pin standard capability allows a master key to operate multiple groups, and grand masterkeyed availability extends that hierarchy for larger projects that need tiered access control. Because the lock can be keyed together with other N Series locks, a single N Series system can serve drawers, doors, or other lock points that rely on this cam lock format.

Rekeying, Cams, And Face Design For Results

The rekeyable design using a cylinder retainer clip allows technicians to change keying on the Olympus pin tumbler cam lock while retaining the installed hardware, which supports key control programs where key codes are periodically updated. Two reversible cams that work in all positions mean one lock body can serve various right-hand, left-hand, or drawer configurations by selecting the required cam orientation for the throw direction. The 1 inch face that covers splintering eliminates the need for a separate trim ring around the bore because the face itself hides rough hole edges, which is useful when drilling in wood or composite sheet goods. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements indicates the cam lock has been evaluated to that referenced cam lock standard for performance, so specifiers referencing that grade can align this lock with those documents. The zinc die cast body and pin tumbler cylinder provide a solid base for the key removable in locked or unlocked position function, so users can remove the key after either locking or unlocking depending on their operating routine.
