Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock, DCN3 1-7/16" Cylinder Keyed Different/Master Keyed , Oil Rubbed Bronze DCN3-10B-KDMK
Description
Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Secure Cabinets
Olympus pin tumbler cam lock DCN3-10B-KDMK is a zinc die cast cam lock that uses a pin tumbler cylinder, so installers get a familiar, serviceable locking format for cabinetry and casework needing keyed security. The cylinder and body are both zinc die cast, which gives a consistent machined interface between the plug and housing for smooth key operation across repeated use. The standard function keeps the key removable in both locked and unlocked positions, supporting workflows where doors are cycled frequently but the key cannot stay hanging from the lock. The 1 inch face is designed to cover splintering around the bore, avoiding extra trim rings when drilling through wood or similar materials. An oil rubbed bronze 10B finish delivers a dark, project-ready appearance that coordinates with other 10B hardware on the same installation.
Key Olympus Cam Lock Details For Field Use
- Keying can be matched with other N Series locks, so a bank of cabinets or fixtures can share the same N Series key system where that format is already in use.
- The cylinder is easily rekeyable via the cylinder retainer clip, allowing locks to be reconfigured on site without replacing the entire body in long-term installations.
- The lock passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, giving a tested performance level for commercial or high-cycle cabinet and fixture applications.
- The N Series keyway is equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, which helps match this cam lock into existing N Series master key systems.
- Stock keying is KD/KA 4 pin standard with specific KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915, so installers can select organized keying schemes on projects needing keyed different or keyed alike groups.
- Masterkeyed operation is 5 pin standard with grand masterkeyed capability, supporting layered key control where multiple access levels must be managed across cabinets or furniture.
Cam Lock Installation And Cylinder Fit Details
The DCN3-10B-KDMK cam lock has a 1-7/16 inch cylinder length, which suits thicker cabinet or casework panels where shorter cylinders would not fully reach the cam hardware. The 1 inch face covers splintering at the drilled hole, so boring operations can be done to size without planning for additional trim components. Two reversible cams work in all positions, giving flexibility to set up the locking throw for doors or drawers that need either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. The zinc die cast body and cylinder bring stable tolerances for mounting through standard cam lock holes, helping the cams engage reliably once the nut and components are tightened.
Using The DCN3 Olympus N Series Cam Lock
Where This N Series Cam Lock Performs Well
The Olympus pin tumbler cam lock is designed as an N Series cam lock, so it fits installations where N Series keying is preferred across cabinets, desks, or fixtures. The ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance result means the lock is suited for demanding environments that expect higher cycle counts, such as commercial millwork or institutional cabinetry. The product is acknowledged by the Woodwork Institute, which aligns it with woodwork projects that reference WI acknowledged hardware for compliance. The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish supports projects using dark bronze visible hardware, so the lock face can be coordinated with hinges, pulls, and other 10B components in the same field of view.
Details That Support Repeatable Keying And Service
The rekeyable design using a cylinder retainer clip allows the installer to change keying without removing the entire hardware setup, which is valuable when tenants or access groups change but the furniture stays in place. Keying that can be matched with other N Series locks keeps maintenance teams working within one keyway family, simplifying master key charting. Stock KD/KA 4 pin options and listed KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 give organized choices for grouping cabinets by area or function. Masterkeyed 5 pin standard construction with grand masterkeyed capability supports multi-level key control where supervisors, maintenance, and users each have defined access. The standard function with the key removable in locked or unlocked positions lets staff lock cabinets, withdraw the key, then later unlock and remove the key again without any mode change.
