Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives you a bright nickel cam lock solution for drawers and cabinet doors where keyed control is required. The 15/16 inch cylinder keyed alike to C390A keeps multiple lock locations on the same key pattern, simplifying key handling across a project. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined by a patented retainer staple, so the working components arrive as a single unit ready to be mounted into the casework. A 90 degree cam turn provides a simple quarter-turn locking action, which is easy to understand for end users in everyday operation. The cylinder length also sets the usable material thickness for overlay applications, helping match the lock body to your drawer or door build-up.

Key Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The lock passes the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so the disc tumbler mechanism is proven for repeated daily locking and unlocking in regular cabinet use.
• The 15/16 inch cylinder keyed alike C390A keeps all locks in that key group on a single key code, which reduces time spent managing separate keys when servicing or accessing multiple doors and drawers.
• The bright nickel finish on the cam lock presents a clean metal appearance at the face of the cabinet, which helps the hardware blend into many commercial and residential casework styles where visible lock heads are required.
• The patented retainer staple holds the cylinder and body assembled at shipment, so the installer receives a unified lock body that can be placed into the prepared hole without handling loose internal components.
• The 90 degree cam turn gives a straightforward quarter-turn motion from locked to unlocked, which supports quick operation at the point of use when users open or secure drawers, right-hand doors, or left-hand doors.

Cam Lock Installation And Application Fit

The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for both right-hand and left-hand doors, so a single lock style can serve across mixed cabinet layouts in the same job. For lipped or overlay construction using the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, which helps avoid overextending the threads during installation. For flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset provides the reach and offset needed to engage the strike point while keeping the lock face aligned with the door surface. A spur washer with eyelet seats under the fixing nut; when screwed into place, this spur washer bites into the substrate to prevent the lock body from rotating in the bore and helps the fixing nut resist loosening over time.

How This Lock Works In Cabinet Projects

Using The Cam Lock On Drawers And Doors

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is designed for drawers and both right-hand and left-hand doors, so it can be specified across a full run of casework without changing lock families between openings. In lipped or overlay construction, the pairing with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam allows the cam to reach behind the frame, giving positive engagement with a strike area while the cylinder remains at the front. In flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset shifts the cam action back from the door face, which helps the cam clear the edge and hook behind a fixed frame or strike plate. The 90 degree cam turn keeps the user motion consistent across these applications, so opening and locking feel the same on drawers and doors.

The 15/16 inch cylinder keyed alike to C390A supports keyed-alike systems where multiple locks respond to the same key pattern, which benefits installations such as banks of storage cabinets or multi-drawer workstations. The cylinder and body are assembled with a patented retainer staple, so the internal relationship between cylinder plug and housing remains fixed while the lock is handled and set into the prepared hole. A spur washer with eyelet is used under the fixing nut; when this washer is screwed into place, its spur design resists rotation of the lock body and helps keep the nut from loosening during repeated operation. The lock passes the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, which demonstrates that the internal disc tumbler mechanism and keyway are built for ongoing use in everyday cabinet environments.
