Description
Olympus DCN4 Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets
Olympus DCN4 pin tumbler cam lock is a zinc die cast cam lock designed for 1-1/2 inch material thickness with a 3/4 inch bore diameter, so it fits standard drilled cam lock holes in thicker cabinet panels. The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, keeps it consistent with common commercial key systems where N Series is already in use. The lock body and cylinder are zinc die cast pin tumbler construction, providing a solid metal housing and precise cylinder operation during repeated key cycles. An oil rubbed bronze finish (10B) provides a darker architectural look that matches projects using bronze-toned decorative hardware. Standard function allows the key to be removable in either the locked or unlocked position, which supports workflows where keys are used to set position and then removed for control. The product is manufactured by Olympus Lock, Inc. as part number DCN4-10B-KDMK, giving installers a specific reference for repeat ordering.
Cam Lock Details That Support Everyday Work
- The 1-1/2 inch material thickness rating with 3/4 inch bore diameter lets installers match the lock to pre-bored cabinet or fixture panels while keeping face alignment predictable across multiple units.
- The 1 inch face is designed to cover splintering around the bore, so existing rough drill edges are concealed without the need for an additional trim ring or extra finishing steps.
- The lock can be keyed together with other N Series locks, allowing projects using multiple Olympus N Series locations to run on coordinated keying patterns for easier key management.
- Two reversible cams work in all positions, giving flexibility to configure clockwise or counterclockwise locking and adapt to different door or drawer orientations on site.
- The lock is easily rekeyable via a cylinder retainer clip, which lets locksmiths or shop personnel change keying without replacing the entire cam lock assembly, supporting long-term maintenance.
- Passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements and is equivalent to E07261 / E07271, meaning the lock is tested to a recognized standard for cam lock performance in demanding installations.
Installation And Keying Details For Olympus DCN4
The Olympus DCN4 pin tumbler cam lock is set up for a 3/4 inch bore diameter in 1-1/2 inch thick material, so boring and backset selection can follow that dimension during cabinet or fixture fabrication. A 1 inch face is intended to sit cleanly over the bore, which helps hide minor chipping and keeps the visible edge consistent across a row of doors or drawers. Standard function allows the key to be removed with the cam in either the locked or unlocked position, so users can choose whether keys stay with operators or are removed after setting position. The N Series keyway, with stock KD/KA 4 pin standard and stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915, provides structured keying options across multiple locks in the same installation.
Using This Olympus Cam Lock In Real Projects
Where The N Series Cam Lock Fits Best
This Olympus DCN4 pin tumbler cam lock is part of the Olympus N Series family, so it works well wherever N Series keying is already specified and installers want to stay within that same key system. The 1-1/2 inch material thickness capability suits cabinets, casework, or fixtures built from thicker panels where standard short-body cam locks do not reach through properly. A 3/4 inch bore diameter gives a clear drilling target for shop production, letting fabricators standardize jigs or CNC routines on that size. Because the 1 inch face is designed to cover splintering at the bore edge, it fits projects where the drill operation may leave slight breakout on the finished side, such as laminated or veneered panels. The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish aligns with projects using bronze or dark decorative hardware, so the lock face can blend with pulls and hinges that share the same tone. Woodwork Institute acknowledgment means the product is recognized within woodworking industry standards, which is useful on projects referencing Woodwork Institute requirements in their specifications.
How Design Details Support Reliable Locking
The zinc die cast body and zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder give the lock a rigid housing and stable cylinder alignment, helping the key track smoothly through repeated use in commercial or institutional casework. Two reversible cams that work in all positions allow the installer to choose the cam orientation that provides the best throw direction for the specific door or drawer layout, which reduces rework when layouts vary within the same job. Standard key removable function in both locked and unlocked positions supports operating routines where staff lock a door, remove the key, and later return it, or where a supervisor removes the key while the cam remains in an unlocked position during access periods. Easily rekeyable construction via the cylinder retainer clip lets security personnel change keying patterns or move a lock from keyed different to a keyed alike group without swapping the entire assembly, saving labor on retrofit changes. The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, keeps keying aligned with widely used commercial key platforms so existing key blanks and master key systems can integrate this lock. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, and being equivalent to E07261 / E07271, indicates the lock has been tested against a recognized cam lock performance standard, which supports its use in higher-traffic or more demanding cabinet applications.
