N Series Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Door Lock, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Keyed to KA103 Key

N Series Pin Tumbler Deadbolt For Secure Doors

N Series pin tumbler deadbolt gives a door a keyed locking point built around the N Series key system, so locksmiths and millwork shops can tie it into existing N Series cylinders on the same job. The Olympus Lock, Inc. N Series pin tumble deadbolt uses a solid brass pin tumbler cylinder, which provides a familiar pinning platform for standard keying work and consistent key feel at the door. The deadbolt body is zinc die cast, so the lock case offers a rigid structure for the cylinder and bolt mechanism during repeated use. This door deadbolt is keyed to a KA103 key in the N Series system, which aligns it with other KA103 cylinders using the same keyway. An oil rubbed bronze finish on the assembly gives the deadbolt a dark, traditional appearance that coordinates with oil rubbed bronze hardware suites on the project.

Deadbolt Details That Support Keying Control

• The keying can be matched with other N Series locks, so a single N Series pinning system can run across multiple openings on a project, simplifying master key charting.
• The mechanism is easily rekeyable via a set screw cylinder release, so cylinders can be changed or reconfigured on-site without replacing the entire deadbolt case.
• The deadbolt has passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, so it is built for applications that call for a Grade 1 deadbolt function under that standard.
• The key is removable in either the locked or unlocked position in the standard function, so users can remove the key after locking or leave the door locked while keeping a key-free cylinder.
• The cylinder length options of 15/16 inch, 1-3/8 inch, or 1-5/8 inch give flexibility to match cylinder projection to the door thickness and trim stack used at the opening.

Door Deadbolt Fit, Function, And Cylinder Setup

The N Series pin tumbler deadbolt uses a 7/8 inch barrel diameter, which sets the bore size needed in the door for the cylinder and guides drilling layouts for new work or replacements. The cylinder length options of 15/16 inch, 1-3/8 inch, or 1-5/8 inch let the installer select a cylinder that matches the door build-up and any trim or escutcheon thickness in front of the case. A set screw cylinder release mechanism holds the solid brass cylinder in the zinc die cast body, so the cylinder can be withdrawn for rekeying while leaving the body anchored in the door. The standard function is non-handed and designed so the key is removable with the bolt thrown or retracted, which affects how the lock is keyed into user routines on site.

Using This Olympus Deadbolt In Keyed Systems

Where The N Series Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Works

This N Series pin tumbler deadbolt is built as a deadbolt lock for doors, so it serves as the primary keyed locking point where a simple key-operated bolt is required. The N Series keying, equivalent to the National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin key systems, means the cylinder interfaces with that style of key, which matters when a project carries over an existing National-style keyway. Stock keying is KD or KA in a 4 pin standard layout, so individual doors can be keyed different or keyed alike within that 4-pin structure. The stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 define standard keyed-alike groupings, and this model is keyed to KA103, which places it in that specific keyed-alike set for system planning. Masterkeying in a 5 pin standard format, with grand masterkeying available, lets the same lock body participate in tiered key systems when used with the appropriate pinning.

Why These Deadbolt Details Matter On The Job

The combination of a zinc die cast body and solid brass cylinder gives the deadbolt a stable housing for the pin tumbler core, which supports consistent key performance over time in a typical door environment. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements means the Olympus 100-10B138-103 deadbolt meets that graded deadbolt performance benchmark, which is important when a project specification references that standard or calls for a Grade 1 deadbolt. The oil rubbed bronze finish provides a dark, rubbed appearance that matches other oil rubbed bronze components, helping maintain a uniform hardware look across the opening. The non-handed standard function simplifies handing on the job site, because the same lock body works on either side of the door orientation. The ability to remove the key in the locked or unlocked position lets facility managers decide how keys are carried and used without changing the core.
