Olympus DCN4 Cam Lock For Secure Cabinets

Olympus DCN4 pin tumbler cam lock gives cabinets and enclosures a keyed alike 103 locking solution so multiple locations can be operated with the same key set, simplifying access control across a shop or facility. The lock is designed for 1-1/2 inch material thickness with a 3/4 inch bore diameter, so it fits panels built to that size without reworking door or drawer cutouts. The 1 inch face covers splintering around the bore, so an extra trim ring is not required and the finished installation looks clean. A zinc die cast body with a zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder forms a compact cam lock construction, supporting typical cabinet and casework use. Standard function keeping the key removable in either the locked or unlocked position lets installers match user preference for how the lock is operated in daily use.

Keyed Olympus Cam Lock Details That Matter

• Keying that matches the N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, lets this cam lock work within existing N Series key systems where that keyway is already established.
• Stock keying in KD or KA with 4 pin standard, with this model keyed alike 103, allows multiple DCN4-10B-103 locks to operate from the same key number for controlled shared access.
• Rekeyable construction using a cylinder retainer clip allows the cylinder to be rekeyed on site, so keyed control can be updated when projects change or masterkey systems expand.
• ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance test compliance means the lock has passed that cam lock performance standard, fitting projects that call for a Grade 1 cam lock rating.
• The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish offers a dark, traditional appearance that coordinates with other 10B finished hardware across cabinetry and millwork in the same space.

Cam Lock Fit, Bore Size, And Face Coverage

This Olympus DCN4-10B-103 cam lock is specified for 1-1/2 inch material thickness, so it suits thicker cabinet doors or panels built around that dimension. The 3/4 inch bore diameter requirement lines up with a common hole size, allowing straightforward drilling during fabrication. A 1 inch face covers the bore edge and any minor splintering, so the front appearance is concealed without adding a separate trim component. The N Series keyway ties this lock into the N Series pin layout, so key control can follow that system. Body and cylinder both being zinc die cast provide a uniform cam lock assembly compatible with normal woodworking environments.

How This Olympus Cam Lock Works In Practice

Where The DCN4 Cam Lock Is Typically Used

The Olympus DCN4 pin tumbler cam lock, classified under cam locks and locks and latches, is suited to cabinets and similar enclosures that accept a cam-operated lock. The design for 1-1/2 inch material thickness with a 3/4 inch bore diameter supports use in casework built from thicker stock, such as store fixtures or institutional cabinets using that panel dimension. Its N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, integrates into N Series keyed installations where a consistent keyway is required. A standard function that allows the key to be removed in either the locked or unlocked position fits cabinets that must be opened frequently, because users can operate the lock and withdraw the key in whichever position the facility policy prefers. The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish lets this cam lock match 10B finished knobs, pulls, and other visible hardware on doors or drawer fronts.

Why These Cam And Cylinder Details Matter

The DCN4-10B-103 uses a zinc die cast body and a zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder, forming a rigid cam lock body that maintains consistent tolerances between housing and cylinder for smooth key rotation. Two reversible cams that work in all positions give flexibility in how the cam engages with strikes or cabinet frames, so installers can orient the cam to latch on top, bottom, or side without changing the basic lock body. A face dimension of 1 inch that covers splintering allows slightly rougher bore edges to be concealed, supporting faster drilling during production without additional trim parts. The ability to be keyed together with other N Series locks allows this cam lock to be part of a broader keying plan, so supervisors and maintenance can manage access with fewer key changes. Masterkeyed in 5 pin standard and grand masterkeyed availability connect this product to tiered key systems where levels of access are structured by pinning.
