CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

CompX National disc tumbler cam lock gives drawers and cabinet doors a keyed control point, using a disc tumbler cylinder to secure the cam and hold the door or drawer shut in everyday use. The 2 inch cylinder length provides reach through thicker front and frame combinations within the limits stated by the cylinder length, so the lock can engage properly in common casework layouts. A 3/4 inch mounting hole size matches a standard cam lock bore, simplifying layout when matching existing shop practices. The antique brass finish presents a traditional appearance that aligns with classic furniture or cabinetry where exposed lock fronts are visible. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions allows the user to remove the key after locking or after opening, which can streamline workflows where the lock is cycled frequently.

Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Work

• Each lock comes with two stop washers allowing the cam to turn either 90 degrees or 180 degrees based on application, so the installer can choose quarter-turn or half-turn operation to match door swing or drawer travel.
• Design for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors means the same cam lock can be oriented for multiple casework layouts, helping one part number serve several cabinet configurations.
• Cams suited for lipped or overlay construction and flush construction match typical cabinet build methods, allowing the lock to work with both proud-face doors and inset fronts.
• Straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension and formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset give two distinct reaches, supporting engagement with strikes or frames at different depths.
• Stop washers provided for both 90 degree or 180 degree cam turns support fine-tuning of rotation, aligning the key position and cam travel with the cabinet design and user habit.
• Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions provides flexibility in key handling, which can help organized shops adapt locking routines to their process.

Cam Lock Fit, Cylinder Length, And Mount Details

The 2 inch cylinder works with applications where the combined thickness of front and frame does not exceed the cylinder length, allowing the cam threads and nut to pull tight and secure the lock body. A 3/4 inch mounting hole requirement sets the boring size in the front panel, so the shop can drill clean, repeatable holes using standard bits. For overlay construction, the stated combination limit of front and frame thickness tied to the listed cylinder length keeps the cam within its working range, supporting reliable engagement with the mating strike or frame surface. The spur washer for wood helps bite into the substrate when the mounting nut is tightened, which resists lock body rotation in service.

Using This Antique Brass Cam Lock In Casework

Where This CompX National Lock Works Best

This CompX National disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and both right-hand and left-hand doors, covering a wide set of cabinet and furniture layouts. Cams for lipped or overlay construction support doors that sit over a face frame, using the straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension to reach behind the door edge. The formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset serves flush construction, shifting the contact point so the cam can catch a frame or strike aligned with an inset front. For overlay applications, the requirement that the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length means the lock seats correctly, keeping the cam positioned to rotate freely without binding. Antique brass finish ties this lock to projects where visible hardware needs a warm, traditional tone across cabinetry and casework.

Details That Help Alignment And Repeatable Results

Two stop washers allowing either 90 degree or 180 degree cam turns give installers control over how far the cam swings, which helps align the locked and unlocked key positions with user expectations and door swing. Stock keying options described by the manufacturer as KA for all keyed alike to a specified key number, with master key not working on those locks, or KD for all keyed different with various lock numbers, guide how these locks are grouped for access control. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the key can be taken out after locking to restrict access, or after unlocking when the area stays open, streamlining how keys are handled around the shop or facility. The spur washer for wood, working with the mounting nut on the 3/4 inch mounting hole, bites into the substrate when tightened, which helps hold the cylinder body against rotational forces during repeated operation. The 2 inch cylinder length, when observed with the front and frame thickness limitation, positions the cam so it can use the 1-1/2 inch or 1-1/8 inch extensions effectively without overreaching past the strike point.
