N Series Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Drawer Lock, Satin Chrome, Keyed Different

N Series Deadbolt Drawer Lock For Secure Drawers

N Series pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock from Olympus Lock, Inc. uses a solid brass pin tumbler cylinder in a zinc die cast body to provide a robust deadbolt action that resists casual attack on cabinet and drawer fronts. The keyed different setup means each lock is stocked on its own key change, which suits installations where separating access to individual drawers or stations matters for tool, parts, or document control. This N Series design can be keyed together with other N Series locks, so a planned system can share keys across doors and drawers while still using this same lock body. The lock cylinder is rekeyable through a set screw cylinder release mechanism, allowing future keying changes without changing the main lock housing on the furniture.

Deadbolt Drawer Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The solid brass pin tumbler cylinder provides a precise keying interface that supports smooth key operation in regular opening and locking cycles.
• The zinc die cast body gives the lock a rigid housing that supports the deadbolt action against the drawer or cabinet frame during locking.
• The satin chrome finish presents a neutral, professional appearance that coordinates with many commercial and shop drawer fronts.
• The deadbolt lock is keyed different from stock, which supports separated access where each drawer or cabinet section is controlled independently.
• The lock can be keyed together with other N Series locks, allowing one key to operate multiple lock points when a grouped access plan is needed.
• The rekeyable design with a set screw cylinder release mechanism enables cylinder changes on site, so keying can be updated while retaining the installed body.
• The cylinder length options of 15/16 inch, 1-3/8 inch, or 1-5/8 inch allow the lock to match a range of drawer or panel thicknesses for proper cylinder engagement.

Installation And Keying Characteristics For Fit-Up

The 7/8 inch barrel diameter sets the bore size for this deadbolt drawer lock, guiding hole preparation in the drawer or panel so the cylinder seats correctly. Cylinder length choices of 15/16 inch, 1-3/8 inch, or 1-5/8 inch let the installer select a length that spans the drawer front and positions the cam and bolt hardware in the cabinet interior. The standard function allows the key to be removable in the locked or unlocked position, so the operator can take the key away after either action, supporting simple routines in shop or office use. The lock design is non-handed, which permits mounting on left or right applications using the same part without reorientation concerns.

How This Olympus Deadbolt Works In Practice

Where The N Series Drawer Deadbolt Lock Fits Best

The lock is categorized as a deadbolt lock for drawers, positioning it for cabinet and drawer security on woodworking projects and commercial casework. The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, ties this deadbolt into a broader N Series locking scheme where doors and drawers share keying. Stock keying on this model is KD/KA with a 4 pin standard configuration, aligning with common shop key systems and allowing specific combinations for groups of locks. Stock keyed-alike numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 define standard KA groups that can be applied where a bank of drawers or cabinets must open with the same key. The keyed different stock version on this product supports scenarios where each unit in a run remains on its own key number from shipment, useful for separate tenants, workstations, or storage zones in a shared shop. Masterkeyed setups are available in a 5 pin standard format, and grand masterkeyed options are also available, which lets a higher-level key operate across multiple keyed groups when a layered access hierarchy is required.

Why Grade 1 Performance And Rekeying Matter

The deadbolt drawer lock has passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, equivalent to E07041(200DW), which indicates it has been tested to a high standard of operational cycles and security performance for this lock type. That Grade 1 rating matters in high-use drawer applications, because the lock mechanism and deadbolt action are validated to hold up under frequent locking and unlocking in commercial or institutional environments. The key removable in locked or unlocked position standard function supports straightforward key handling, since the user can complete a lock or unlock action and pocket the key in either state without needing to leave it in the cylinder. Non-handed construction eliminates left/right orientation concerns, so a single model can be applied across a bank of drawers that may open in different directions or be laid out in mirrored runs. The rekeyable design using a set screw cylinder release mechanism streamlines future changes to key systems, because the core can be swapped or reconfigured while leaving the body and deadbolt interface untouched in the woodwork. The combination of a solid brass pin tumbler cylinder and zinc die cast body creates a stable interface between the key and the bolt movement, which supports consistent operation over time while maintaining the deadbolt engagement with the frame.
