LCB 1-9/16" Pin Tumbler Offset Cam

LCB Pin Tumbler Offset Cam For Lock Control

LCB 1-9/16 Pin Tumbler Offset Cam is a pin tumbler cam from Olympus Lock, Inc. that provides an offset driving arm for a compatible pin tumbler lock, so the lock tailpiece can reach and move the latch or strike in offset layouts. The cam design works as the motion transfer link between the pin tumbler lock core and the hardware it operates, turning key rotation into a controlled throw that moves the locking point. The offset geometry of this cam shifts the operating line away from the lock center, allowing layouts where the strike or latch is not in line with the cylinder, which is helpful in many cabinet and casework constructions. As a lock accessory within the locks and latches family, it supports installers who need a specific offset action while using Olympus Lock pin tumbler components.

Offset Cam Details That Support Install Jobs

• The pin tumbler cam construction gives a defined interface to a pin tumbler lock mechanism, so key rotation translates directly into predictable cam travel for consistent lock operation over time.
• The 1-9/16 inch identity in the product name reflects the overall cam format, which helps installers visualize its reach relative to the lock body when planning interaction with strikes or latch points in a cabinet layout.
• The 1-1/4 inch length noted in the SAP description identifies the working length of the DCP offset cam, giving a reference for how far the cam extends from the lock center, which affects engagement with keeper or strike hardware.
• The 1/4 offset specification describes how far the active cam surface sits away from the lock centerline, allowing the cam throw to align with hardware that is laterally shifted, which is common in staggered panel or frame constructions.
• The Olympus Lock, Inc. branding on this pin tumbler cam ties the part directly to a known lock manufacturer, which helps shops keep hardware families consistent when matching cams to Olympus pin tumbler lock bodies in repeat installations.

Offset Cam Fit, Length, And Lock Alignment

The DCP OFFSET CAM, 1-1/4IN L, 1/4 OFFSET specification gives installers a clear sense of how the cam sits relative to the lock center, which directly affects where the throw ends in relation to the cabinet strike point. The 1-1/4 inch length measurement defines how far the cam arm projects from the lock, so a fitter can relate that reach to door or drawer frame geometry when setting lock position. The 1/4 offset places the driving edge away from the centerline, providing space to work around framing members while still engaging the keeper, which can simplify layouts in tight or layered constructions. Because this part is a pin tumbler cam, it is intended to be driven by a pin tumbler mechanism, keeping the motion profile matched to that lock style for smoother key turn.

Using The DCP-LBC Cam In Lock Assemblies

Where This Pin Tumbler Cam Is Applied

This LCB 1-9/16 Pin Tumbler Offset Cam from Olympus Lock, Inc. fits into lock and latch assemblies where a pin tumbler mechanism needs to actuate hardware that does not sit directly in line with the cylinder. The 1-1/4 inch length from the DCP OFFSET CAM, 1-1/4IN L, 1/4 OFFSET description provides reach from the lock body to the engagement point, so it can interact with strikes that sit farther from the mounting hole. As a lock accessory in the locks and latches category, it is suited to applications where an offset cam action is preferred over a straight throw, such as cabinet doors or casework with rails that shift the strike. The 1/4 offset value creates a stepped path for the cam swing, giving hardware designers another geometry option when space or framing limit a straight-line cam.

Why Length And Offset Matter For Results

The 1-1/4 inch length on this pin tumbler offset cam determines the radius of its swing, which influences how quickly and how far the latch or keeper moves as the key turns, affecting how positively the door or panel secures at the end of travel. The 1/4 offset specification moves the operating face of the cam away from the lock center, allowing the same lock body to work with strikes that sit to one side, which can reduce rework when dealing with existing hole patterns or face frame layouts. Being a dedicated pin tumbler cam, the DCP-LBC part number aligns the cam profile with Olympus Lock pin tumbler cores, which supports consistent engagement between core, cam, and strike in repeated builds or service replacements. As a defined lock accessory within the Olympus family, it helps standardize cam geometry across projects that rely on the same DCP-LBC offset configuration.

Key Details About The DCP-LBC Offset Cam

Selecting This Offset Cam For Lock Layouts

The LCB 1-9/16 Pin Tumbler Offset Cam brings together a 1-1/4 inch length and 1/4 offset under the Olympus Lock DCP-LBC designation, giving a defined geometry for offset lock work. When a cabinet or casework layout needs a pin tumbler cam that reaches beyond the lock center and operates on a shifted line, this lock accessory supplies that specific throw pattern. Using a cam with known length and offset values supports repeatable lock motion from one installation to the next. Add this pin tumbler offset cam through Wurth Baer Supply to align your lock layouts with the DCP OFFSET CAM, 1-1/4IN L, 1/4 OFFSET configuration.
