CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock, 1-3/4" Cylinder with 90 and 180 Degree CW and CCW Rotation, Flat Black C8060-C415A-Y21

CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock Use

CompX National disc tumbler cam lock gives you a 1-3/4 inch cylinder that secures drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number can cover multiple cabinet layouts on the same job. The flat black C8060-C415A-Y21 finish provides a low-visibility look that blends into dark casework, which helps installations in commercial or residential cabinetry where exposed hardware needs to stay subtle. This cam lock is built as a disc tumbler design, which delivers a familiar key feel for installers already using CompX National systems. The cylinder length matches applications where the combined thickness of the front and frame is managed to stay within that 1-3/4 inch dimension, which keeps the cam engaging properly without excess play. Stock keying identified as 8060KA-415 supports projects that need locks keyed alike under that key number, simplifying key management across a bank of cabinets.

Key Cam Lock Details That Support Cabinet Work

• 1-3/4 inch cylinder length manages front and frame thickness so the cam sits in the correct position, which helps the lock throw engage cleanly without dragging or partial engagement.
• Flat black finish on the C8060-C415A-Y21 lock keeps cabinet fronts visually clean, which suits dark or modern casework where bright metal hardware would stand out.
• Disc tumbler construction provides a defined keying system, which helps maintain consistent security behavior across multiple locks using CompX National formats.
• Stock 8060KA-415 keyed-alike keying keeps all locks on the same key number, which makes daily access and key storage simpler on multi-door or multi-drawer installations.
• Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions allows the user to take the key out after locking or leaving it open, which matches routines where the cabinet is frequently accessed.

Cam Lock Mounting And Rotation Options

This CompX National cam lock uses a 1-3/4 inch cylinder that passes through the cabinet front and frame, so the installer sets it into the prepared bore and secures it with the mounting nut against the back face. Each lock uses stop washers that control whether the cam turns 90 degrees or 180 degrees in clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, which lets the same lock body meet different latch-travel requirements. Cams are configured either straight with a 1-1/2 inch extension for lipped or overlay construction, or formed with a 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset for flush construction, so the cam can be positioned to grab the strike point in each cabinet style. This structure gives flexibility for drawer fronts and both right-hand and left-hand doors using the same core cylinder.

Applying This Cam Lock In Cabinet Projects

Where This Flat Black Cam Lock Fits Best

This 1-3/4 inch cylinder cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it works across a typical cabinet run without changing lock families. For lipped or overlay construction, the straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension positions the locking tongue beyond the door edge, which lets it catch behind the cabinet frame on overlay fronts. For flush construction, the formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset shifts the contact point, which helps the cam align with a strike surface that sits in the same plane as the door. The guidance that the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the listed cylinder length keeps the lock seated so the cam swing stays centered over the strike area on both drawers and doors.

How Rotation, Keying, And Cams Support Workflow

Stop washers provided for both 90 or 180 degree cam turns let the installer match cam travel to the latch geometry, which can reduce rework when a shorter or longer throw is required. The ability for the cam to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise allows the same C8060-C415A-Y21 body to serve left-hand and right-hand door swings, which simplifies stocking and speeds selection on site. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions supports use patterns where cabinets stay open during work hours and are secured afterwards, without trapping the key in a single position. Stock keying noted as 8060KA-415 keyed alike ties multiple locks to the same key number, which streamlines access control on banks of drawers or doors in shops, offices, or residential built-ins. For overlay construction where a 3/4 inch front and 3/4 inch frame are used, the note directing to NLC8073 and NLC7014-2C shows how cylinder length and cam choice are coordinated so overlay thickness and cam reach stay matched.
