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

Olympus Lock Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For N Series

Olympus Lock pin tumbler cam lock DCN3-26D-KDMK gives a keyed-different/master-keyed cylinder for cabinet and casework locking where a satin chrome finish is preferred. The DCN-Series 1-7/16 inch cylinder design provides a compact locking point that suits many furniture and fixture layouts where a cam-style lock is required. The N Series keyway lets this lock be keyed together with other N Series locks, so keyed groups can be built around an existing N Series system. The pin tumbler cylinder construction supports the keyed different and master keyed setup, giving controlled access levels in multi-user environments. The zinc die cast body and cylinder provide a solid housing around the operating components, supporting consistent cam action under normal cabinet use.

Keyed Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, lets this cam lock participate in an N Series master key system, which helps organize access control across multiple openings.
• Stock keying as KD or KA in a 4-pin standard format provides predictable keying patterns, which simplifies matching locks to site key charts when planning keyed-alike or keyed-different groups.
• Masterkeyed operation in 5-pin standard configuration allows supervisors or maintenance staff to operate multiple locks with a master key, which supports service workflows without changing individual user keys.
• The satin chrome 26D finish establishes a consistent look on visible lock faces, which helps locks match other 26D hardware across a project where aesthetic coordination is specified.
• Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements means the cam lock matches the E07261 and E07271 reference standards, which helps specifiers relate the lock to recognized cam lock performance categories.
• Woodwork Institute acknowledgment identifies the cam lock as an accepted product, which helps align hardware selections with projects following Woodwork Institute criteria.

Installation And Cylinder Rekeying Characteristics

The DCN-Series 1 inch face is designed to cover splintering at the front of the bore, so a separate trim ring is not required at the door or drawer front. The easily rekeyable cylinder, accessed via the cylinder retainer clip, allows a change of keying without changing the entire lock body, which can reduce disruption when keying plans change. Two reversible cams that work in all positions provide flexibility in how the cam engages strikes or cutouts, so the same lock can handle different door or sliding panel orientations. The key removable in locked or unlocked position function allows the operator to remove the key after setting the cam, whether the lock is in its locked or unlocked mode.

How This DCN3-26D-KDMK Cam Lock Works In Use

Cam Lock Layout For Cabinets And Casework

The zinc die cast body provides a stable housing for the cam and cylinder, so the DCN3-26D-KDMK holds alignment between the face and cam as the key is turned. The 1-7/16 inch cylinder length gives the lock reach through typical cabinet or furniture panels while leaving room for the cam to operate on the back side of the material. The 1 inch face is sized to overlap the edge of the drilled hole, which helps cover minor chipping at the front surface when boring through laminated or veneered panels. Because the face needs no additional trim ring, the visible hardware remains a single, clean satin chrome element on the door or drawer. The N Series keyway ties this lock into an N Series locking scheme, letting multiple cabinet and fixture locations share coordinated keying.

Rekeyable Cylinder And Reversible Cams For Flexibility

The easily rekeyable design, using a cylinder retainer clip, gives technicians the option to change keys on an existing installation while keeping the same lock body and cam orientation. This supports long-term key control as staff or user groups change. The two reversible cams, which work in all positions, allow the cam to be set for different latch strokes or engagement directions, so one lock model can serve doors, drawers, or sliding panels with varying hardware layouts. The standard function allowing key removal in locked or unlocked position means the operator can leave the key out during normal operation, then relock or unlock as needed without being forced to keep the key in place. Zinc die cast construction of both body and cylinder supports repeatable cam motion under everyday cabinet use.
