Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock, DCN3 1-7/16" Cylinder Keyed Alike 107, Oil Rubbed Bronze DCN3-10B-107

Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Casework Security

Olympus pin tumbler cam lock DCN3-10B-107 is a zinc die cast cam lock designed to secure cabinet and casework doors by driving cams against a frame or strike. The 1 inch face covers splintering at the bore, so the edge of a drilled hole remains hidden on finished jobs without using a separate trim ring. The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish provides a darker architectural look that can align with matching decorative hardware. The lock uses a zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder, giving a familiar keyed feel that suits typical commercial and shop environments. Key removable in locked or unlocked position means the key can be withdrawn after locking or after opening, which can simplify key control when multiple users share access. The standard function supports workflows where installers or facility staff need flexibility in how and when the key stays with the lock.

Key Details That Support Everyday Use

• The DCN3 1-7/16 inch cylinder length gives a defined body size, which helps installers match the lock body to typical cabinet and fixture thickness ranges during layout and boring.
• Keying that can be keyed together with other N Series locks allows one key pattern across multiple locking points, which simplifies key management for banks of cabinets or casework runs.
• Easily rekeyable via the cylinder retainer clip lets locksmiths or shop personnel reset keying, so existing installations can be updated without replacing the full cam lock body.
• Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements indicates the cam lock has been tested to that standard, which supports use in demanding commercial woodworking projects.
• (WI) acknowledged product status from Woodwork Institute ties the cam lock to recognized woodworking industry criteria, which can suit projects that reference WI acknowledged hardware.
• Stock KA# 107 keyed alike configuration allows multiple DCN3-10B-107 locks to share the same key number, which helps when setting up groups of doors that need identical keyed access.

Installation And Cam Action Function Details

The DCN3-10B-107 body and cylinder are zinc die cast, giving a rigid shell for mounting cams that turn against door edges or frames. Two reversible cams work in all positions, so the same lock can be set up for different throw directions and door orientations by selecting and rotating the cams during assembly. The 1 inch face is sized to cover splintering around the lock bore, which can streamline onsite drilling by giving some forgiveness at the hole edge while still presenting a clean appearance. Key removable in the locked or unlocked position helps installers and maintenance crews operate the cam lock during fitting, adjustment, or later service without changing cylinders.

Where This DCN3-10B-107 Cam Lock Fits Best

Cam Lock Use In Woodworking And Casework

The Olympus Lock, Inc. DCN3-10B-107 cam lock sits in the Locks and Latches cam lock class, placing it squarely in cabinet and casework applications. The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, supports projects that already use that family, helping maintain consistent keying schemes across storage and workstation components. Stock keying options KD/KA in a 4 pin standard format offer familiar keying structures for locksmiths and woodworking shops. Masterkeyed 5 pin standard capability and available grand masterkeyed options allow this cam lock to participate in tiered key systems, so different user groups can operate the same cabinet depending on the key issued. Being acknowledged by Woodwork Institute aligns the lock with established woodworking specifications that often guide commercial millwork details. The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish broadens design choices when cabinets or fixtures call for a darker, traditional appearance to coordinate with pulls and hinges.

Details That Support Repeatable Keying And Setup

The rekeyable design via a cylinder retainer clip lets service personnel alter keying while retaining the installed DCN3 cam body, which can reduce cabinet disturbance on finished millwork when changing key systems. Being keyed alike to Stock KA# 107 allows groups of DCN3-10B-107 locks to operate on the same key, which simplifies issuing keys for multi-door runs or departmental storage. The ability to be keyed together with other N Series locks lets project teams extend an existing N Series key plan to new furniture, fixtures, or supplemental storage. Key removable in locked or unlocked position supports varied operating policies, such as leaving keys out of the lock on frequently accessed cabinets or keeping keys captive only as a procedural choice, not a mechanical requirement. The two reversible cams working in all positions provide flexibility to set throw direction, so installers can adapt one part number across left-hand, right-hand, vertical, or horizontal applications without switching to different cam lock bodies.
