Olympus DCN1 Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Secure Panels

Olympus DCN1 pin tumbler cam lock gives keyed access control to doors or panels built from 3/4 inch material thickness, so it fits common cabinet and casework construction. The flat black finish provides a dark, low-visibility face, which helps the lock blend with darker surfaces for a clean look. A zinc die cast body and pin tumbler cylinder create a solid metal housing, giving the core and shell a uniform structure for everyday use in woodworking environments. The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, ties this lock into an established key system so existing N Series setups can share key patterns when arranged that way. The standard function allows the key to be removable in the locked or unlocked position, which keeps the key usable as a control tool without needing the cam fully turned back each time.

Key Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, keeps keying consistent with those layouts so keyed different or keyed alike plans can be organized within that series across related installations.
• The lock is rekeyable via a cylinder retainer clip, so the core can be reset without swapping the entire housing, which saves labor on future rekey work and helps maintain installed hardware in place.
• Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, equivalent to E07261 or E07271, means the lock has been tested to that standard, which gives a defined performance benchmark for high-use cabinet and casework situations.
• Key removable in locked or unlocked position lets the lock function as a control point while the key is taken away, which can streamline access routines on doors that need to stay either open or secured.
• Two reversible cams that work in all positions allow the locking tongue orientation to be changed, so the same lock body can be adapted to different strike directions on various cabinet or panel layouts.

Cam Lock Fit And Face Coverage For 3/4 Inch Stock

The design for 3/4 inch material thickness sets the backset reach so the cam engages properly in typical cabinet carcasses, reducing the chance of overtravel or short bite on the frame. A 1 inch face covers splintering around the bore, which hides chipping at the drilled hole and removes the need for an extra trim ring on the outside. The flat black face finish helps the front blend with dark laminates or painted fronts, keeping the lock visually controlled while still readable for the installer during layout. Because the key is removable in either position, doors built from 3/4 inch stock can stay unlocked without the key hanging in the cylinder, which helps avoid accidental bumps at the face.

Where This N Series Cam Lock Works Best

Applications Using 3/4 Inch Cabinet Material

The 3/4 inch material thickness match suits typical cabinet sides, doors, or drawer fronts built from that stock, so the Olympus DCN1 pin tumbler cam lock can be used across many woodworking projects following that standard. Its N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, means installations already laid out on N Series keys can add this cam lock and keep the same key family where keyed different or keyed alike plans are arranged. The zinc die cast body and cylinder give a consistent metal form, which is useful when boring repeated holes and expecting the lock shell to seat firmly against the panel face. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, equivalent to E07261 or E07271, provides a tested performance level suited to repeated locking and unlocking in commercial or shop cabinetry.

Keying, Cams, And Face Features For Workflow

The lock can be keyed together with other N Series locks, so shops planning keyed different or keyed alike runs can coordinate lock sets under that shared series for straightforward key control. Stock keying in KD or KA with 4 pin standard, along with stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915, gives defined patterns that can be used when grouping doors or cabinets under specific key sets. Masterkeyed at 5 pin standard, with grand masterkeyed availability, lets larger projects use the same Olympus DCN1 pin tumbler cam lock while assigning layers of access where some keys open many positions and others open only one. Two reversible cams that work in all positions give flexibility in how the cam engages the frame or strike, helping one lock part handle different swing directions or edge conditions. The 1 inch face that covers splintering removes the need for an added trim ring, so a single operation provides both the bore and finished edge around the cylinder for a neater appearance.
