N Series Pin Tumbler Deadbolt For Secure Doors

N Series pin tumbler deadbolt is an Olympus Lock, Inc. door lock in satin chrome keyed to KA103, so it gives a consistent key code across matching KA103 installations. This lock is part of the N Series keyway, which allows it to be keyed together with other N Series locks for unified keying on a project. The solid brass pin tumbler cylinder provides a precision key interface that supports smooth key operation. A zinc die cast body provides a rigid housing that supports the cylinder and helps the deadbolt stay aligned in the door prep over time. This deadbolt passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, which reflects testing for demanding commercial-grade use. The lock function keeps the key removable in either the locked or unlocked position in its standard configuration, so the same cylinder can support different door use patterns.

Key Details That Support Lock Selection

• The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, allows this deadbolt to match existing N Series key systems, which helps maintain consistent keying on multi-opening jobs.
• Keying that can be coordinated with other N Series locks means one key can operate several locks in the same N Series system, which simplifies everyday access control for users.
• The deadbolt is keyed to KA103, matching the stock KA# 103 in the N Series, so KA103 projects can add this lock while keeping the same KA103 key code in the system.
• Stock keying as KD/KA in a 4-pin standard configuration supports typical N Series masterkey planning, so this lock can fit into keyed different or keyed alike schemes as required.
• Masterkeyed in 5 pin standard and grand masterkeyed available means this cylinder can participate in layered key hierarchies, helping locksmiths build structured key systems.
• Passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, equivalent to E07121(100DR), so the deadbolt aligns with a recognized performance level used in commercial specifications.

Rekeyable Deadbolt And Cylinder Setup Workflow

This deadbolt is rekeyable via a set screw cylinder release mechanism, which allows the cylinder to be changed or rekeyed without replacing the entire lock body. The cylinder is a solid brass pin tumbler design, so standard pinning practices for N Series keying can be applied to this hardware. Cylinder length options of 15/16 inch, 1-3/8 inch, or 1-5/8 inch support different door or material thickness conditions, allowing the same basic lock design to serve multiple door constructions. A 7/8 inch barrel diameter defines the required bore size, so bore preparation can match this dimension for proper cylinder seating. Key removable in the locked or unlocked position in the standard function allows the user to withdraw the key after securing or opening the door, which can match different access habits on site.

Where This N Series Deadbolt Fits Best

This Olympus Lock, Inc. N Series pin tumbler deadbolt door lock sits in the deadbolt locks class, so it is suitable where a dedicated deadbolt function is needed alongside other hardware. The satin chrome finish provides a neutral appearance that aligns with other satin chrome door hardware, helping maintain a consistent visual look on grouped openings.

The KA103 keying on this model fits applications where multiple locks share the KA103 key code, creating a keyed alike group for selected doors. Stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 within the N Series give a broader system context, and this KA103 version slots into that numbering structure.

Details That Support Consistent Lock Performance

The zinc die cast body of this deadbolt provides a stable structure that supports the brass cylinder, which helps the bolt action stay smooth when the door is cycled repeatedly. The solid brass pin tumbler cylinder works with N Series keying, so pinning and rekeying operations follow established N Series practices that many locksmiths already use. Rekeyability through the set screw cylinder release mechanism enables cylinder changes while keeping the same lock case on the door, which reduces disturbance to the door edge or stile. Cylinder length options of 15/16 inch, 1-3/8 inch, or 1-5/8 inch allow the projecting portion of the cylinder to align with varying door thicknesses, helping the trim sit correctly against the face. The 7/8 inch barrel diameter serves as a fixed interface dimension, so once the bore is prepared to this size, replacement or future rekey operations can use the same opening. Key removable in locked or unlocked position as a standard function allows the same lock to fit doors that need the key taken out after locking or after unlocking, which supports different site routines without changing hardware type.
