Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives installers a keyed different cam lock solution with a 15/16 inch cylinder, so each lock uses its own key while matching typical cabinet lock dimensions. The bright nickel finish creates a clean, uniform look that matches other bright nickel hardware in the same project. The lock is passed to ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test standards with 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so it supports repeated daily use in drawers and cabinet doors. The lock is designed for drawers plus right-hand or left-hand doors, allowing one part number to handle multiple orientations on the job. This cam lock supports lipped or overlay construction with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam and flush construction with a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, so you can match door style requirements using the specified cam geometry.

Cam Lock Details That Support Cabinet Workflows

• The lock comes assembled, so the cylinder and body arrive together and reduce on-site assembly time when installing multiple cam locks in a run of cabinets.
• The product is shipped with the cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, which holds the components together as a single unit and keeps the internal relationship consistent during handling.
• Keys are not required for assembly of the lock body and cylinder, allowing bench or field assembly of components without tracking key sets during that specific step of the workflow.
• The spur washer with eyelet is designed so that, when screwed into place, the spur washer prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, helping the lock stay oriented correctly in use.
• The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender arrangement allows cylinders to be swapped easily between different size cam lock bodies, which supports inventory flexibility and a wider range of keying options across installations.
• Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, so projects that need specific keying setups can be planned around that time frame.

Cam Lock Fit For Overlay And Flush Applications

The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock uses a 90 degree cam turn, so the cam rotates a quarter turn between locked and unlocked positions, giving a predictable handle feel for end users. The lock is intended for drawers and both right-hand and left-hand doors, so the same cam lock can be used across various cabinet layouts. For lipped or overlay construction, the 1-1/2 inch straight cam works with doors that sit over a face frame, coordinating with that style of cabinet design. For flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam is specified, positioning the cam in line with doors set flush with the frame. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed for this cam lock, which keeps the cam travel within the working range.

How This Cam Lock Works In Daily Use

Cam Lock Setup For Drawers And Doors

The Olympus cam lock 954-14A-KD is a disc tumbler cam lock with a 15/16 inch cylinder, which suits typical cabinet panel thicknesses where that cylinder length is appropriate. Because the lock is designed for drawers and for both right-hand and left-hand doors, one lock family can be used across a bank of drawer fronts and adjacent doors, simplifying part selection. The bright nickel finish provides a consistent visual finish across fronts when matching other bright nickel components in the same area. With its 1-1/2 inch straight cam for lipped or overlay construction, the lock engages effectively on doors that overlay the face frame, aligning the cam travel with the door edge. The 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam for flush construction positions the locking point correctly for doors that sit flush with the frame, so the cam meets the strike surface without additional spacers.

Details That Support Reliable Lock Operation

The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test rating with 20,000 cycles, including key insertion and removal, shows that the Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is built for repeated operation over time, which matters in busy cabinet, drawer, or door locations. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body connected via a patented retainer staple, so the relationship between these parts is fixed from the factory, helping maintain consistent cylinder seating during installation. Because keys are not required for assembly, the installer can work with the lock body and cylinder freely without coordinating keys until the locking function is needed. The spur washer with eyelet is designed so that, when screwed into place, it prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which helps maintain cam alignment to the strike point. The key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, so users can take the key away after locking or leave the lock in an unlocked state while still removing the key, depending on access needs.
