Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinet Security
Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is a bright nickel cam lock designed for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number can handle multiple cabinet layouts on the same job. The lock uses a 15/16 inch cylinder keyed alike C413A, allowing multiple locks on the project to work with the same key for streamlined access control. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined by a patented retainer staple, which saves assembly time at the bench and keeps components aligned correctly. Keys are not required for assembly, so cylinders can be handled and swapped without needing the key on hand. The revolutionary cylinder and cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be moved between different size cam lock bodies, helping reduce the number of different locks kept in inventory while still meeting various door and drawer thickness needs.
Key Details Of This Bright Nickel Cam Lock
- The bright nickel finish matches common cabinet hardware, so the installed lock presents a clean, uniform appearance on visible drawer and door fronts.
- The 15/16 inch cylinder keyed alike C413A supports using one key pattern across multiple locks, which simplifies key management for cabinets in the same area.
- The lock passed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test of 20,000 cycles, so it is tested for repeated locking, unlocking, and key insertion where cabinets are used regularly.
- The lock comes assembled with a patented retainer staple joining cylinder and body, which speeds up mounting and keeps the lock body stable as the fixing nut is tightened.
- Keys are not required for assembly of the cylinder and body, so cylinders can be configured or swapped on the bench without tracking a matching key during setup.
- The cylinder and cylinder extender allow cylinders to be exchanged among different cam lock body sizes, giving flexibility to match face hardware while adapting to varied panel thicknesses.
Installation And Fit Details For Cabinet Use
This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock uses a 90 degree cam turn, so the cam rotates a quarter turn between locked and unlocked positions, which suits standard cabinet latch engagement. It is intended for drawers and both right-hand and left-hand doors, allowing the same lock style to be used around a cabinet run. For lipped or overlay construction, the lock works with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, so the cam reaches behind an overlay front to secure the frame. For flush construction, it uses a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, which positions the cam correctly behind a flush panel. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, so the lock seats properly and the cam engages the cabinet frame.
Applying This Olympus Cam Lock In Real Projects
Where This Cam Lock Works In Cabinets
This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is used on drawers and on right-hand or left-hand doors, so it can secure both storage drawers and cabinet doors within the same installation. The lock serves lipped or overlay construction when paired with the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, allowing it to catch behind an overlay door or drawer front and hold it closed against the cabinet frame. For flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam changes the reach and offset, so the cam lines up with the inside of a flush door or drawer front and engages reliably. The 90 degree cam turn means the cam moves from open to locked position in a quarter turn, matching common cabinet motion and keeping user operation straightforward in office, shop, or storage furniture. The bright nickel finish ties in visually with typical drawer pulls and hinges, presenting a consistent appearance wherever the lock is used.
Details That Support Repeatable Keyed Alike Setups
The 15/16 inch cylinder keyed alike C413A means multiple Olympus disc tumbler cam locks can be operated by the same key code on a project, which simplifies access for users who move between several drawers or doors. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body connected by a patented retainer staple, so the cylinder orientation stays fixed as the lock is positioned and secured, promoting consistent alignment from cabinet to cabinet. Keys are not required for assembly, enabling cylinders to be handled and swapped without managing matching keys during shop work. The cylinder and cylinder extender system allows cylinders to be moved between different size cam lock bodies, which supports using one keying system across cabinets built with different material thicknesses. The product passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles, so it is tested for repeated operation in everyday cabinet use while maintaining function over many locking cycles.
