N Series Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Drawer Lock, Satin Chrome, Keyed to KA103 Key

N Series Deadbolt Drawer Lock For Secure Drawers

N Series pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock is a keyed drawer deadbolt from Olympus Lock, Inc. that uses the N Series keyway to secure drawers where a positive deadbolt action is required. The satin chrome finish provides a neutral, professional look that ties in with common commercial hardware, which helps maintain a consistent appearance on visible drawer fronts. The lock uses a solid brass pin tumbler cylinder, so the key interface is based on a proven cylinder design that supports reliable key operation on busy casework. This drawer deadbolt is keyed to KA103, which allows locks with the same KA103 key number to operate on the same key system when grouped together in an installation.

Keyed Drawer Deadbolt Details That Support Projects

• The cylinder uses the N Series keyway, which is equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, so it ties into N Series master key systems where those keyways are already in use.
• The lock can be keyed together with other N Series locks, allowing the same key to operate matching N Series units, which simplifies key management across banks of drawers or mixed casework.
• The cylinder is easily rekeyable via a set screw cylinder release mechanism, so cylinders can be rekeyed in the field, which supports key changes when users, tenants, or access requirements change.
• The product passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements and is equivalent to E07041(200DW), which indicates it has been tested to a recognized deadbolt performance standard for demanding use conditions.
• The standard function design allows the key to be removable in either the locked or unlocked position, and standard function locks are non-handed, which supports flexible installation orientation while maintaining key control in both positions.

Drawer Deadbolt Lock Construction And Function In Use

The body is made from zinc die cast, so the housing provides a rigid structure around the deadbolt mechanism that is suitable for typical cabinetry and fixture construction. The cylinder is a solid brass pin tumbler design, which gives the key interface a precisely machined brass component that is suited to repeated key insertion and removal in normal commercial environments. Cylinder length options of 15/16 inch, 1-3/8 inch, or 1-5/8 inch allow the cylinder to match varying drawer or panel thicknesses, which helps achieve proper mounting depth without overextending the cylinder beyond the drawer face. The 7/8 inch barrel diameter provides a known bore size for hole preparation, so the lock nests correctly in the drilled opening and supports consistent alignment of the cylinder within the drawer front.

How This Olympus N Series Deadbolt Fits Casework

Where The Satin Chrome Drawer Lock Is Applied

This deadbolt drawer lock is part of the Olympus N Series family, so it is suited to installations that already use N Series keying and need drawer deadbolts keyed into that same system. The satin chrome finish supports use on commercial cabinets, fixture drawers, and similar casework where hardware needs to blend with satin chrome hinges, pulls, or door locks. Because the lock can be keyed together with other N Series locks, it supports keyed-alike drawer groups in millwork runs, reception desks, and storage banks that share an N Series key system. The ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance rating means the deadbolt is built for applications that need a drawer lock tested to a recognized deadbolt cabinet lock standard.

Why Rekeyable N Series Details Help Long Term Use

The easily rekeyable design, using a set screw cylinder release mechanism, allows the N Series cylinder to be rekeyed when key control requirements change, which helps retain the existing hardware while updating the key bitting. The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, provides an established pin tumbler format that supports both 4-pin stock keying and 5-pin masterkeyed systems. Stock keying of KD/KA 4 pin standard lets installations use keyed-different or keyed-alike setups within the N Series range, while stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 provide defined keyed-alike groups for organizing lock sets. Masterkeyed 5 pin standard and the availability of grand masterkeyed options support tiered key hierarchies, so one master key can operate multiple KA groups in a controlled way. The standard function, with key removable in the locked or unlocked position, supports users who need to remove the key after operating the lock in either state, while the non-handed configuration simplifies orientation decisions during layout.
