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

Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Secure Cabinets

Olympus pin tumbler cam lock DCN3-10B-KD is a zinc die cast cam lock with a 1-7/16 inch cylinder in an oil rubbed bronze 10B finish, giving cabinets a keyed security point with a darker architectural look that blends with bronze-toned hardware. The lock uses a zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder, providing a traditional keyed mechanism that supports controlled access in casework and furniture. This model is keyed different as standard stock keying, so each lock operates on its own key pattern, which helps separate access between multiple doors or drawers. The keyway is N Series, equivalent to the National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin system, so it aligns with existing N Series key systems using the same basic key profile for field coordination. The body and cylinder construction in zinc die cast support consistent machining and fit into prepared lock cutouts in cabinet doors or panels.

Key Olympus Cam Lock Details That Help In Use

• The DCN3-10B-KD lock passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, equivalent to E07261 and E07271, so it supports demanding commercial-level cam lock service where frequent locking and unlocking are expected.
• The lock is acknowledged by the Woodwork Institute, so it matches a recognized product standard when this designation is required on woodworking projects using specified hardware lines.
• The 1 inch face on the DCN3-10B-KD is designed to cover splintering around the lock bore, which helps conceal minor edge breakout on the hole and avoids using a separate trim ring during cabinet fabrication.
• The standard function keeps the key removable in the locked or unlocked position, allowing installers or users to leave the key out after locking or to remove it while the cam is left unlocked for routine access.
• Two reversible cams work in all positions, so the cam orientation can be changed to suit clockwise or counterclockwise rotation and different door or drawer layouts without changing the core lock body.
• The DCN3-10B-KD is easily rekeyable via the cylinder retainer clip, which allows future keying changes on installed locks while retaining the same physical lock housing in the cabinet.

Mounting And Face Details For Cabinet Fit

The Olympus DCN3-10B-KD cam lock uses a 1-7/16 inch cylinder length, which positions the cam behind the door or drawer front to engage cabinet strikes or cutouts according to typical cam lock layouts. The 1 inch face covers the edge of the drilled hole, so the installer can work with a standard lock bore and rely on the lock face to hide small chips around the opening. The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish is applied on the visible trim components, giving a dark bronze appearance that coordinates with other 10B hardware on the same project. The zinc die cast body and cylinder provide a consistent outside dimension for standard cam lock cutouts, supporting a predictable fit when multiple locks are used across a run of cabinets.

How This DCN3-10B-KD Cam Lock Works In Practice

Where The Olympus Cam Lock Is Typically Used

The Olympus pin tumbler cam lock DCN3-10B-KD sits in the cam locks category, so it is oriented to cabinet doors, drawers, and enclosures that secure by rotating a cam behind a strike or frame. Its N Series keyway, equivalent to the National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin system, supports projects that already base their keying on N Series profiles, allowing the same general keyway across other N Series hardware. Because the lock is stock-keyed different with 4-pin standard keying, each lock can serve an individual cabinet location in office, institutional, or shop furniture where separate keys are desired. The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish matches darker decorative hardware, so this model is suited to casework where the lock should visually align with bronze hinges, pulls, or other 10B-finished items.

Why The Functional Details Support Repeatable Results

The Olympus DCN3-10B-KD cam lock is easily rekeyable through its cylinder retainer clip, so maintenance staff can adjust keying patterns on installed locks as occupancy or security needs change while keeping the same cabinet preparation. The standard function that allows key removal in both locked and unlocked positions supports flexible operation, because users can remove the key after locking for security or remove it after unlocking when frequent opening and closing is required. Two reversible cams that work in all positions help align the cam throw with different door swings and frame conditions, which simplifies layout on mixed cabinet runs using the same core part number. The 1 inch face designed to cover splintering lets shop personnel drill standard bores without adding a separate escutcheon, improving the visual finish on exposed furniture-grade panels. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, equivalent to E07261 and E07271, ties this lock to a recognized cam lock test standard, supporting its use on projects that reference Grade 1 cam performance. Woodwork Institute acknowledgment further aligns the product with specified woodworking standards where WI-listed hardware is used to support documented product selection.
