Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock, DCN3 1-7/16" Cylinder Keyed Different , Satin Chrome DCN3-26D-KD

Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Secure Cabinets

Olympus Lock pin tumbler cam lock DCN3-26D-KD is a DCN-Series cam lock with a 1-7/16 inch cylinder that provides keyed different security, so each lock operates on its own key for separate access control on multiple doors or drawers. The satin chrome 26D finish gives a clean, neutral appearance that suits a wide range of commercial and shop cabinetry where a consistent hardware look is important. The body and cylinder are zinc die cast, which creates a solid, uniform housing that supports precise pin tumbler operation over repeated locking cycles. The pin tumbler cylinder design delivers positive key engagement, which helps installers get predictable locking and unlocking action for everyday use in woodworking and fixture projects. This lock passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, so it meets a recognized standard for cam lock performance in demanding applications.

Key Functional Details For Daily Lock Use

• The keying can be keyed together with other N Series locks, allowing multiple lock points to share one key system where a common N Series keyway is already in use.
• The lock is easily rekeyable via a cylinder retainer clip, so key systems can be changed on-site without replacing the entire cam lock body during remodels or tenant turnover.
• The standard function allows the key to be removable in the locked or unlocked position, which supports workflows where users need to leave locks open or closed without the key staying in the core.
• Two reversible cams work in all positions, giving flexibility to orient the cam for different door or drawer swing conditions within the same project layout.
• The 1 inch face covers splintering and does not require an additional trim ring, which helps clean up rough cabinet hole edges and reduces extra trim components during installation.

Cam Lock Fit, Face Coverage, And Cylinder Details

This DCN-Series cam lock uses a 1-7/16 inch cylinder length, which suits applications needing a longer reach through cabinet panels while keeping the same Olympus N Series keying options. The 1 inch face dimension is designed to cover splintering around the lock bore, so standard cabinet drilling can leave minor tear-out that is hidden once the lock is seated. The face design does not require an additional trim ring, which simplifies the front side of the installation and keeps the visible hardware to a single profile. Both the body and the cylinder are zinc die cast, giving a matched housing and core material that supports consistent tolerances for the pin tumbler mechanism.

How This DCN3-26D-KD Lock Works In Practice

Where The Olympus N Series Cam Lock Is Used

The Olympus Lock pin tumbler cam lock DCN3-26D-KD is part of the DCN-Series, so it aligns with other Olympus N Series locks in installations that need a coordinated keying system. The keyway is N Series, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, which helps when projects are built around that established key platform. Stock keying is KD/KA with a 4-pin standard setup, providing options for keyed different or keyed alike arrangements within the same N Series environment. Stock keyed alike numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 are available, giving specific KA patterns that can be matched across multiple locks on a job. Masterkeyed setups use a 5-pin standard configuration, allowing a higher-level key to operate groups of 4-pin cores where that hierarchy is planned. A grand masterkeyed option is available, supporting larger key systems where several master groups share a top-level control key within the same N Series structure.

Details That Support Reliable Locking Performance

The DCN3-26D-KD cam lock passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, equivalent to E07261 and E07271, so it has been tested to a defined cam lock performance level for demanding use. The product is acknowledged by the Woodwork Institute, which aligns it with recognized standards in architectural woodworking projects where specified hardware is important. Two reversible cams work in all positions, allowing installers to use the same components to handle different locking directions or door orientations without changing the lock body. The N Series keyway compatibility with National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems supports integration with existing N Series keying plans, reducing the need to change user key habits when upgrading or expanding lock coverage. Rekeyable construction via the cylinder retainer clip means the cylinder can be reset to a new key pattern while retaining the existing hardware location, which helps maintain cabinetry and fixtures when occupants or security requirements change. The zinc die cast body and cylinder provide a matched housing and core that support stable pin tumbler alignment, contributing to consistent key action over time. The satin chrome 26D finish offers a neutral metallic appearance that coordinates with other satin chrome hardware in commercial millwork, helping maintain a unified look across doors, drawers, and fixtures.
