Description
Olympus DCN4 Cam Lock For Secure Cabinet Use
Olympus DCN4 pin tumbler cam lock is a satin chrome lock designed for 1-1/2 inch material thickness with a 3/4 inch bore diameter, so it suits cabinet and casework layouts built around that common drilling size. The lock belongs to the Olympus N Series system, which means it can be keyed together with other N Series locks to support organized keying plans across multiple doors or drawers. The body and cylinder are zinc die cast pin tumbler components, giving you a solid metal housing that supports precise key operation in regular shop and field use. Standard function keeps the key removable in both locked and unlocked positions, which simplifies how installers and users operate doors during service or loading. Two reversible cams work in all positions, giving flexibility to set up the locking direction to match the cabinet design.
Key Cam Lock Details That Support Real Work
- The 1 inch face is sized to cover splintering around the 3/4 inch bore, so the finished installation hides minor chipping at the hole edge and avoids the need for an extra trim ring.
- Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements shows the lock is tested to a recognized cam lock standard, which matters when projects call for hardware that meets a defined performance level.
- Woodwork Institute acknowledgment ties this lock to a known woodwork standard, helping align cabinet hardware selection with institutional or commercial millwork requirements.
- Cylinder retainer clip rekeying lets you change cylinders without replacing the entire cam lock, which can reduce labor and material changes when keying plans are updated.
- Standard key removable in locked or unlocked position means users can leave the key out during normal operation, which supports cleaner cabinet fronts and reduces key hang-up during access.
- Available finishes 26D, 3, 10B, and 19 give options for matching visible hardware to surrounding pulls and hinges, supporting consistent visual results on finished casework.
Cam Lock Fit For 1-1/2 Inch Thick Material
This Olympus DCN4-26D-KDMK cam lock is specified for 1-1/2 inch material thickness with a 3/4 inch bore diameter, so it is aimed at cabinet and panel work built from that thickness range. The 3/4 inch bore requirement ties directly to common drilling operations, allowing installers to plan boring patterns around a standard hole size. A 1 inch face overlays the bore, covering the edge of the drilled hole so any minor breakout around the bore is concealed behind the lock front. Because the face fully covers the bore, no additional trim ring is required, which keeps the installation cleaner and reduces parts to track during shop and field work.
Using The Olympus N Series Cam Lock In Projects
Where This Olympus Cabinet Cam Lock Fits Best
This Olympus DCN4 pin tumbler cam lock is part of the Olympus N Series family, meaning its N Series keyway is equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, which supports projects built around that key platform. Stock keying as KD or KA 4-pin standard gives flexibility to set up key different or keyed alike groups, while stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 provide defined keyed alike options for organizing multiple cabinets on a single key. Masterkeyed operation uses a 5-pin standard, and a grand masterkeyed option is available, so larger facilities can structure tiered access across many doors and drawers. The satin chrome 26D finish suits projects calling for that specific appearance, and other finishes 3, 10B, and 19 allow matching to different decorative hardware schemes across a job.
Details That Support Reliable Cam Lock Setup
The Olympus DCN4-26D-KDMK cam lock uses a zinc die cast body and zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder, giving a tight, consistent housing for the keying system that supports repeatable key action. Two reversible cams are designed to work in all positions, so the same lock body can be set up for different door swing directions or latch engagements, which helps on mixed cabinet runs. Standard function keeps the key removable in both locked and unlocked positions, allowing installers to lock or unlock, remove the key, and leave the door in service without a key left hanging. The cylinder retainer clip design makes the lock easily rekeyable, so cylinders can be changed to support evolving keying systems while keeping the installed cam hardware in place.
