Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock, 15/16" Cylinder Keyed Different Matte Black 954-US19-KD

Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives drawers and cabinet doors a keyed locking point using a 15/16 inch cylinder in a compact cam lock format. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined via a patented retainer staple, so the core and housing arrive as one working unit for direct installation into the panel cutout. The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, which demonstrates performance across repeated daily locking and unlocking in cabinetry applications. The matte black 954-US19-KD finish provides a dark architectural look for projects that call for a black hardware appearance on doors or drawer fronts. This model is keyed different, so each lock works on its own key set for applications where individual cabinet or drawer control is required.

Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The lock comes assembled with cylinder and body joined via a patented retainer staple, which creates a ready-to-install lock body that avoids separate cylinder handling during cabinet work.
• The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, showing it is designed to operate through many open/close cycles in furniture or casework environments.
• A spur washer with eyelet is provided, and when screwed into place this spur washer prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation on the door or drawer panel.
• The design uses a revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender that allows cylinders to be easily swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which supports inventory efficiency and keying flexibility across multiple cabinet layouts.
• Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports project timelines when specific keying patterns are specified across a job.

Mounting, Cam Options, And Construction Types

The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock provides a 90 degree cam turn, giving a quarter-turn locking motion that is straightforward to align with strikes or frame edges. It is specified for drawers as well as right-hand or left-hand doors, so a single lock family can serve multiple swing directions in a run of cabinets. For lipped or overlay construction the lock is paired with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, allowing the cam to reach past the front lip to engage behind the frame. For flush construction the lock uses a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam that steps the cam behind the door plane so it can catch properly on a frame or keeper surface. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, so the cylinder can project through the front and still accept the fixing nut and spur washer on the back side.

Using This Cam Lock In Cabinet Projects

Where This Disc Tumbler Cam Lock Fits

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand cabinet doors, so it can be used across a run of casework where some openings slide and others swing. The 90 degree cam turn matches common cabinet layouts, because the cam only needs a quarter turn to move from clear of the strike area into engagement behind the frame or keeper. For lipped or overlay construction, the 1-1/2 inch straight cam projects behind the overlay, so the locking point can sit behind the cabinet face frame or panel edge without additional brackets. On flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam positions the cam behind the door but offset from the cylinder centerline, providing clearance for the door thickness while still catching the frame. The matte black 954-US19-KD finish lets the visible lock face match other black decorative or functional hardware on the installation.

Details That Help Achieve Repeatable Locking Results

The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined by the patented retainer staple, which reduces assembly steps during installation because the technician sets a single unit in the hole instead of handling loose components. The spur washer with eyelet is used so that when it is screwed into place, it bites into the substrate and prevents the lock body from rotating, while also keeping the fixing nut from loosening, which supports consistent key alignment over time. The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender system allows cylinders to be easily swapped between different size cam lock bodies, giving flexibility to reuse keyed cylinders when cabinet thickness changes while staying within the same lock family. This model is keyed different, so each cam lock is on its own key code, which can be important where access needs to be limited to specific drawers or compartments rather than shared across a bank of doors. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal indicates the lock mechanism is tested for repeated operation under normal cabinet use.
