Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock, DCN3 1-7/16" Cylinder Keyed Alike 915, Flat Black DCN3-US19-915

Olympus Lock Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For N Series

Olympus Lock pin tumbler cam lock uses a DCN-Series 1-7/16 inch cylinder keyed alike 915, so multiple DCN3-US19-915 units can share the same key number in N Series systems, simplifying key control on jobs using that keying.

The lock uses a zinc die cast body and zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder, which provides a consistent machined interface between body and cylinder, supporting smooth key operation across repeated locking cycles in cabinet or fixture applications.

The keyway is N Series, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, which aligns this cam lock with existing N Series master key systems where that keyway is already part of the site standard.

The standard function keeps the key removable in locked or unlocked position, allowing installers or users to take the key out after locking or after unlocking, which supports simple operation on cabinets, drawers, or doors that need flexible access routines.

The cam lock is finished in flat black (19), giving the DCN3-US19-915 a dark face that visually blends with dark cabinet hardware layouts where a low-contrast lock front is preferred.

Key Performance Details For Daily Use

• The lock passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, which means the DCN-Series cam lock has been tested to a standardized level of operational and security performance for Grade 1 cam locks in typical commercial use.
• The cylinder is easily rekeyable via a cylinder retainer clip, so a locksmith or shop using compatible tools can change keying without replacing the entire cam lock body, reducing material waste when rekeying is required.
• The keyway uses N Series keying, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, allowing this cam lock to participate in those N Series based key plans on cabinets or enclosures already using that keyway.
• Stock keying is KD/KA 4-pin standard with a stock keyed alike number of 915, so DCN3-US19-915 locks match that 915 KA group for straightforward planning where a common operating key is desired.
• The product can be masterkeyed with a 5-pin standard configuration and can be grand masterkeyed, connecting this cam lock to layered key control schemes where multiple levels of key access are required.
• The lock face diameter is 1 inch, and that larger face is designed to cover splintering around the bore, allowing the lock to visually cover rougher edges from drilling without additional trim components.

Flat Black Cam Lock Fit And Mounting Details

The DCN-Series 1-7/16 inch cylinder length provides a defined reach through cabinet or panel thicknesses suited to that dimension, so the installer can match the cylinder depth to material thickness where a 1-7/16 inch cam lock body is appropriate.

The 1 inch face is intended to cover splintering around the drilled hole, which helps the installer rely on a clean finished appearance at the front even when boring through wood or composite panels in a single drilling pass.

The lock uses 2 reversible cams that work in all positions, allowing orientation changes to position the locking throw where required relative to the strike or frame, which supports right-hand, left-hand, or vertical applications using the same core lock.

The anti-rotation and lost-motion cam components identified in the product description support consistent engagement at the back of the lock, which helps maintain the set cam orientation under normal handle or key operation.

Using DCN3-US19-915 In Cabinet Locking Layouts

Where This DCN-Series Cam Lock Is Applied

The Olympus Lock, Inc. product is categorized as a cam lock within the Locks and Latches group, so its role is to provide a rotating cam action on cabinet doors, drawers, or panels where a cam can secure against a frame or keeper.

The DCN3-US19-915 uses a DCN-Series 1-7/16 inch cylinder, which positions it among Olympus cam locks designed for applications needing that cylinder length, giving installers an option sized for panels that suit the 1-7/16 inch body specification.

The flat black 19 finish defines the front appearance for projects using darker decorative hardware, so this cam lock can be used where a dark, low-reflection face is desired on face frames, doors, or drawer fronts.

The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, allows this lock to function on sites where N Series keys are part of an existing system, supporting cabinets that must align with that same keyway.

The stock keyed alike 915 configuration means multiple DCN3-US19-915 cam locks keyed to 915 can be operated with one change key within that keyed alike group, which is useful on runs of cabinets requiring shared key access.

Why These Cam Lock Details Support Repeatable Results

The Grade 1 performance per ANSI/BHMA A156.11 indicates the DCN-Series cam lock has been evaluated to a defined test standard, providing installers with a cam lock option that has measured performance characteristics for commercial-grade locking points.

The rekeyable design via the cylinder retainer clip means the cylinder can be reconfigured without removing the entire lock installation, which streamlines future keying changes when a key system evolves over time on a property.

The ability to masterkey at 5-pin standard and grand masterkey extends this lock into tiered key control schemes, so cabinet locking can be integrated into broader access plans that use change keys, master keys, and grand master keys.

The key removable in locked or unlocked position feature simplifies day-to-day use, because users can lock a cabinet and remove the key or unlock and remove the key, avoiding a forced key-retention mode that could interfere with workflow.

The 2 reversible cams that work in all positions support consistent setup across multiple cabinet orientations, reducing the number of different cam lock part types required on a project where doors may swing or slide in various directions.

The 1 inch face that covers splintering reduces reliance on separate trim rings, allowing the drilled hole to be slightly rough while the lock face hides splinters, saving fabrication time at the shop or field-drilling stage.

The zinc die cast body and cylinder construction provides a uniform housing and plug interaction, helping the key and pins operate smoothly within the die cast components during repetitive locking and unlocking cycles.
