N Series Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Drawer Lock, Satin Chrome, Keyed to KA915 Key
Description
N Series Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Drawer Lock Use
N Series pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock describes a dedicated drawer security lock that works as a deadbolt and uses the Olympus N Series key system, so it ties directly into keyed projects that already use this keyway. This lock is keyed to KA915, which sets the keying to a defined Stock KA number for consistent operation across multiple locks using that same KA915 key. The satin chrome finish provides a neutral, professional appearance, so it blends with typical commercial drawer fronts where visible hardware needs a clean metallic look. The product is part of the deadbolt locks category, so it throws a solid deadbolt action that helps resist simple prying at the drawer edge in normal cabinet use. The lock is built around a pin tumbler mechanism, so each key turn engages matched pins in the brass cylinder for repeatable, mechanical locking.
Deadbolt Drawer Lock Details That Support Workflows
- The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, lets the cylinder operate with that style of key, which matters when a shop standardizes keying across different cabinet locks.
- The lock can be keyed together with other N Series locks, so a project can use one key for multiple lock points, which simplifies daily use where staff access several drawers.
- The cylinder is easily rekeyable via a set screw cylinder release mechanism, so cylinders can be changed in the field, which helps when key control policies require periodic rekeying without replacing the entire lock body.
- The lock passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, so it meets a defined industry standard, which matters on commercial jobs where specified performance grades are part of the hardware schedule.
- The standard function allows the key to be removable in the locked or unlocked position, so users can remove the key after securing the drawer or after unlocking it, which is useful where drawers are regularly relocked during a shift.
Deadbolt Drawer Lock Mounting And Cylinder Fit
The body is zinc die cast, so the housing provides a rigid structure around the cylinder, which supports stable mounting to the drawer surface. The solid brass pin tumbler cylinder gives a durable key interface, which helps maintain smooth key operation in normal cabinet environments. The barrel diameter is 7/8 inch, so the drawer preparation needs to match this bore size, which sets the drilling dimension for installers laying out front panel holes. The cylinder length options of 15/16 inch, 1-3/8 inch, or 1-5/8 inch define how far the cylinder projects through the drawer, which matters when matching lock depth to varying drawer front thicknesses in casework runs.
Applying Olympus N Series Deadbolt Drawer Lock
Where This Drawer Deadbolt Lock Is Used
This Olympus N Series pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock is intended for drawer applications where a keyed deadbolt action is required, so it suits cabinetry that needs a defined locked position rather than a simple latch. Being part of the deadbolt locks product class places it in projects that need a positive bolt throw into a strike on the cabinet, which helps keep drawers secured during day-to-day use. The satin chrome finish on the visible components supports installations in offices, institutional casework, or shop fixtures where a bright, plated appearance coordinates with other satin chrome hardware. Because the cylinder works on the N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, it fits into keying systems that already rely on those patterns, which is useful when combining this drawer lock with matching cabinet locks in the same facility.
How Locking, Keying, And Rekeying Support Projects
The stock keying is KD/KA 4 pin standard, so locks can be supplied either keyed different or keyed alike within the N Series, which gives flexibility when designing how many drawers respond to each key across a run of cabinetry. The stock KA numbers of 101, 103, 107, and 915 give defined keyed-alike groups, and this specific lock is keyed to KA915, which allows it to align with other hardware specified to the same KA number for consistent access control. The lock can be masterkeyed as a 5 pin standard and can be grand masterkeyed, so key systems can be structured with individual user keys and higher-level keys, which is important where supervisors or facilities staff need tiered access to multiple drawers. Because the cylinder is easily rekeyable via the set screw cylinder release mechanism, key changes can be carried out by swapping cylinders within the same zinc die cast body, which supports long-term projects where access levels may change over time.
