N Series Deadbolt Drawer Lock For Secure Cabinets

N Series pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock gives a keyed deadbolt action for drawers where positive locking is required. The satin chrome finish defines the appearance and helps this lock blend cleanly with modern drawer fronts in commercial or shop settings. The lock is keyed to KA101 key, so matching KA101 cylinders can be operated with the same key for straightforward access control across multiple drawers. The body is zinc die cast, which provides a solid housing that stands up to regular locking and unlocking in everyday use. The cylinder is solid brass with a pin tumbler design, which supports precise keying and consistent key feel over time. The cylinder length is 1-5/8 inch, so this version suits drawer or casework layouts that require that extended cylinder reach through thicker drawer fronts or hardware stacks.

Deadbolt Drawer Lock Details That Support Daily Work

• The keying can be matched with other N Series locks, so a shop or facility can set up groups of drawers on a single key system for simpler key management.
• The lock is easily rekeyable via a set screw cylinder release mechanism, which lets a locksmith or shop technician change keying without replacing the entire lock body.
• The product passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, so it meets a recognized standard for deadbolt cabinet locks used in demanding service.
• The cylinder uses the N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, which ties directly into common commercial keying systems for keyed alike or masterkeyed setups.
• Stock keying covers KD and KA with a 4 pin standard design, and stock KA numbers include 101, 103, 107, and 915, giving options for grouping locks by key number in a project.

Drawer Deadbolt Lock Fit, Cylinder, And Keying Setup

The 1-5/8 inch cylinder length is intended for drawer or casework layouts where the lock must reach through thicker material or trim before engaging the deadbolt, helping the installer align the cam and strike correctly in deeper constructions. The barrel diameter of 7/8 inch defines the required boring size in the drawer front, so machining can be planned to fit this specific cylinder size. The standard function allows the key to be removable in the locked or unlocked position, which lets staff remove the key after locking or during access while leaving the lock in either state as needed. This standard function is non-handed, so the same part can be used on different drawer orientations without separate left- and right-hand versions.

How This Olympus Drawer Deadbolt Works In Practice

Where This N Series Lock Is Typically Applied

The product is an Olympus Lock, Inc. N Series pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock, so it is intended for drawers that need a deadbolt-style locking action instead of a simple latch. Being part of the Deadbolt Locks product class and listed under Locks and Latches, it fits cabinet and casework installations where the drawer must resist casual access, such as tool drawers or storage in woodworking shops. The satin chrome finish identifies it visually as a metal lock component that suits metal or laminate fronts where a neutral metallic look is desired. Because this version is keyed to KA101 key within the N Series system, it supports installations where multiple locks share the KA101 key number so several drawers or fixtures can be operated with one key pattern.

Why Rekeyable N Series Design Helps Future Changes

The lock body is zinc die cast, and the solid brass pin tumbler cylinder is rekeyable via a set screw cylinder release mechanism, so only the cylinder can be rekeyed while the body remains mounted in the drawer. This design streamlines key changes for N Series installations when keys are lost or when a facility wants to alter key groups, because the pin tumbler cylinder can be serviced without reworking the drawer front. The stock keying supports both key different (KD) and keyed alike (KA) arrangements with a 4 pin standard layout, giving flexibility in how drawers are grouped by key. Stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 allow projects to be organized around known key codes, while masterkeyed 5 pin standard and grand masterkeyed options enable more complex key hierarchies in larger facilities. The lock passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, equivalent to E07041(200DW), so it aligns with an established deadbolt test level that facilities commonly specify for cabinet locks.
