Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For N Series Jobs

Olympus pin tumbler cam lock is a DCN2-US19-915 cam lock built for applications using the N Series keyway, so it fits projects that need an N Series equivalent to National D4291 or D4292 key systems. The lock body and cylinder are zinc die cast pin tumbler construction, which provides a solid metal housing for cabinet and fixture mounting where consistent key operation is important. This model works with 7/8 inch material thickness and has a 3/4 inch cylinder, so it suits standard panel builds that match those dimensions. The flat black US19 finish gives a dark, uniform face, useful when matching modern casework or darker hardware layouts. The 1 inch face is designed to cover splintering around the bore, which helps clean up the visible edge of a drilled hole without relying on separate trim parts during installation.

Key Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, lets this lock follow a familiar key system where those patterns are already in service, which can simplify key control on multi-lock installations.
• Stock keying in KD/KA 4 pin standard with stock KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 supports keyed-different or keyed-alike setups, which helps match existing key plans or group doors and drawers under shared keys.
• The lock is easily rekeyable via a cylinder retainer clip, which allows cylinder changes to be performed as keying requirements change, reducing time spent replacing complete lock bodies during rekey projects.
• Two reversible cams that work in all positions give flexibility to orient the cam for different door or drawer layouts, so the same core lock body can address multiple swing directions and latching approaches.
• The standard function allows the key to be removable in the locked or unlocked position, which can support workflows where users need to carry the key away after either securing or opening a compartment.

Flat Black Cam Lock Fit And Mounting Details

The Olympus pin tumbler cam lock DCN2-US19-915 is designed for 7/8 inch material thickness, so it targets cabinet or fixture panels built at that common dimension. The 3/4 inch cylinder length matches through-bore drilling where the cylinder needs to engage the cam without excessive projection. Its 1 inch face is sized to cover splintering at the hole edge, which helps when drilling into wood or composite panels that may chip slightly, delivering a more finished appearance once the lock is seated. The flat black US19 finish gives the exposed face a uniform dark look, which can visually blend with black hinges or pulls on coordinating casework. The zinc die cast body and cylinder create a rigid housing, supporting stable cam movement when the lock is actuated in repeated use.

Where This DCN2 Cam Lock Works Best

Applications Suited To N Series Cam Lock Systems

This Olympus pin tumbler cam lock uses the N Series keyway, which is equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, so it pairs with installations designed around those key patterns. The stock keying options in KD/KA 4 pin standard with KA numbers 101, 103, 107, and 915 support projects that need groups of doors or drawers under shared keys or individually keyed units following an established numbering scheme. Because the key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, the lock supports situations where a user might open a compartment, remove the key, and leave it open temporarily, or lock it and take the key away for controlled access. The flat black finish lets the lock integrate into darker furniture, fixtures, or cabinetry designs where a low-contrast appearance at the lock face is preferred.

Details That Help Achieve Repeatable Lock Installations

The DCN2 7/8 inch material thickness specification gives a predictable fit for installers working with standard cabinet panel thickness, helping align the 3/4 inch cylinder so the cam engages reliably. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements establishes that the lock has been tested to that standard, which supports its use in demanding environments following that grading reference. The 1 inch face that covers splintering means that a clean, finished look can be achieved even when field-drilling into wood or composite materials, reducing the need for separate trim parts to hide minor chipping. Two reversible cams that work in all positions let installers select cam orientation to match overlay, inset, or sliding configurations, using a single core lock design across different cabinet layouts. The easily rekeyable design via cylinder retainer clip allows keying changes without replacing the entire lock body, which can streamline future rekey work across multiple units based on changing access needs. The zinc die cast body and cylinder provide a rigid mount for the cam, supporting consistent rotation and engagement over repeated locking cycles on doors, drawers, or panels built around the specified dimensions.
