CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock, 2" Cylinder with 3/4" Mounting Hole, Bright Nickel C8061-C346A-14A

CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

CompX National disc tumbler cam lock gives you a keyed locking point for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors using a 2 inch cylinder designed for a 3/4 inch mounting hole. The bright nickel finish provides a clean, finished look that blends easily with typical cabinet and fixture hardware. This cam lock uses disc tumbler construction to provide a defined locked and unlocked position for routine cabinet access. The stock keying in the 8061KA-346 series keeps all locks in that series keyed alike to the specified key number, simplifying use where one key pattern is preferred. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions allows the user to remove the key after locking or after reopening, which supports flexible key control at the jobsite or in service areas.

Job-Ready Details That Support Lock Applications

• The 2 inch cylinder with 3/4 inch mounting hole sizing lets the lock fit common cabinet drilling patterns, so installers can use standard boring operations without unusual prep.
• Cams suited for lipped or overlay construction with a straight cam and 1-1/2 inch extension match typical overlay door layouts, helping the cam reach behind the frame for positive engagement.
• Cams for flush construction with a formed cam, 1-1/8 inch extension, and 11/32 inch offset align the locking point on flush doors, so the cam seats properly behind the strike surface.
• Stop washers that allow 90 or 180 degree cam turns give flexibility to set quarter-turn or half-turn operation, letting the installer match door swing and user preference.
• Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions supports user workflows where the operator may want to keep the key with them after either locking or reopening a cabinet.

Mounting And Thickness Details For This Cam Lock

This cam lock is designed around a 2 inch cylinder length and a 3/4 inch mounting hole, so it seats into a standard round bore in cabinet material. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the listed cylinder length, which helps keep the cam within its working reach behind the strike surface. For one example overlay construction using a 3/4 inch front and a 3/4 inch frame, the catalog points to NLC8073 used with the NLC7014-2C cam to handle that thickness, showing how cylinder length and cam selection work together. The spur washer is identified for wood, while the mounting nut clamps the trim washer and body, which helps keep the lock stable in typical wood cabinet doors or drawer fronts.

How This C8061-C346A-14A Cam Lock Works In Use

Cam Lock Setup For Drawers And Doors

This CompX National disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so a single lock family can be applied across different cabinet types on the same job. The 2 inch cylinder projects through the front and into the cabinet opening, allowing the cam to swing behind a frame or strike area. With cams provided for lipped or overlay construction using the straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension, the installer positions the cam so it reaches properly behind an overlay frame without excess play. For flush construction, the formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset is used so the locking surface lines up behind a flush door or panel. Stop washers are used to set the cam rotation to either 90 or 180 degrees, which lets the lock motion match how far the user expects to turn the key to move between locked and unlocked positions.

Stock Keying And Cylinder Length In Practice

The SAP description notes 8061KA-346, indicating a stock keying where KA means all locks are keyed alike to a specific key number in this series, and the note states that a master key will not work on these locks, which matters in installations that do not utilize master keying. This C8061-C346A-14A part number ties the cylinder, finish, and cam configuration to a predictable setup, which supports repeat ordering when the same lock function is required across multiple cabinets. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the key can be taken away after securing a cabinet or after reopening it, which supports procedures where keys are held by supervisors or kept on key rings. The relationship between cylinder length, combined front and frame thickness, and selected cam determines whether the cam reaches the intended strike surface, so using the cylinder length information helps keep the locking throw within its working range for overlay or flush applications.
