Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock, DCN3 1-7/16" Cylinder Keyed Alike 101, Polished Brass DCN3-US3-101

Olympus Lock Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus Lock pin tumbler cam lock gives you an N Series keyway cylinder that can be keyed together with other N Series locks, so one key can operate multiple lock points across a project where the same key system is required. The DCN-Series 1-7/16 inch cylinder with stock KA number 101 provides a keyed alike 101 cam lock option, which keeps a group of doors or drawers on the same key number for straightforward access control during daily use. The cylinder is rekeyable via a cylinder retainer clip, so cores can be changed on site when keying plans change while keeping the installed body in place. A zinc die cast body and zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder form a rigid cam lock assembly, which supports consistent cam operation in typical woodworking and cabinet environments.

Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, ties this lock into common N Series key systems, so existing N Series control keys and bitting plans can be used across matching hardware.
• Easily rekeyable construction via a cylinder retainer clip lets the cylinder be rekeyed without replacing the lock body, which reduces labor when tenant changes or key-control updates require new key combinations.
• Key removable in locked or unlocked position defines the standard function, allowing installers to match this behavior to openings where the key is routinely taken away or left inserted as part of the operating routine.
• Two reversible cams that work in all positions allow the cam to be configured to latch in multiple rotational orientations, helping the same lock adapt to different door or drawer layouts on a project.
• The 1 inch face covers splintering at the bore edge, reducing the need for a separate trim ring and helping a clean finished appearance on cabinet and casework panels where the cylinder passes through.

DCN3-US3-101 Cam Lock Fit And Setup

The DCN3-US3-101 cam lock uses a 1 inch face, so the front flange is wide enough to bridge minor chipping around the hole created during drilling, which helps the installed lock sit cleanly against the surface. Its 1-7/16 inch DCN-Series cylinder length gives extra reach beyond the face, so the cams can engage material that sits behind the door or drawer front in deeper cabinet constructions. Two reversible cams that work in all positions let the installer choose the throw direction and engagement point by rotating or flipping the cam, so the same lock body can serve various door swing directions. The standard function, with the key removable in locked or unlocked position, defines how the cylinder interacts with user workflow on doors or drawers that stay locked or are opened frequently.

How This N Series Cam Lock Works In Practice

Where The Olympus Lock Cam Lock Fits Best

The N Series pin tumbler cam lock design ties directly to N Series keying, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, so it fits jobs that already rely on those keyways and need additional N Series pin tumbler cam locks. The ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirement that this lock has passed aligns it with demanding cam lock applications, since Grade 1 performance represents a high level of tested duty within that standard. Its zinc die cast body offers a solid housing for the cam mechanism, while the zinc die cast cylinder keeps the pin tumbler components aligned so the cam rotation feels consistent across repeated locking and unlocking cycles.

Details That Help Repeatable Locking Results

The rekeyable N Series cylinder, changed via a cylinder retainer clip, lets the installer adjust keying without disturbing how the body and cams sit, which maintains the calibrated cam engagement set during the original install. Two reversible cams that work in all positions mean the same DCN-Series cylinder can be configured to latch into different strikes or cutouts, which helps when multiple casework conditions use a common lock family. The 1 inch face that covers splintering removes the need for an extra trim piece, so the cylinder seats directly against the panel and keeps the cam geometry consistent relative to the door surface. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements signals that the cam and cylinder have been validated to that performance level, supporting repeatable function where a graded cam lock is specified.
