Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives you a keyed-alike locking solution for drawers and cabinet doors where a compact cylinder is required. The 15/16 inch cylinder keyed alike to code C346A keeps multiple openings on the same key, which simplifies key control on built-ins and casework. The matte black 954-US19-C346A finish matches dark hardware runs, so the lock blends into modern cabinet and furniture projects.

The lock passes the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so it is built to handle repeated daily use in typical cabinet applications. The patented retainer staple holds the cylinder and body assembled from the factory, so the core stays seated in the housing during installation. Keys are not required for assembly of the cylinder and body, which helps during bench work and layout when locks are staged before handing out keys.

The disc tumbler design uses a revolutionary cylinder and cylinder extender so cylinders can be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, giving you more flexibility when standardizing keying across projects.

Keyed-Alike Matte Black Cam Lock Details

• The 15/16 inch cylinder keyed alike C346A lets multiple locks use the same key, which reduces the number of key changes needed for matching casework.
• The matte black 954-US19-C346A finish coordinates with dark pulls and hinges, helping the lock disappear visually on black or oil-rubbed style installations.
• The lock passes ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 testing at 20,000 cycles, so the cylinder and cam mechanism are verified for repeated locking and unlocking in service.
• The cylinder and body ship assembled via the patented retainer staple, which keeps the cylinder seated in the housing during handling and cabinet installation.
• The spur washer with eyelet locks against the panel when screwed into place, so the lock resists rotation and the fixing nut stays tight over time.
• The 90 degree cam turn provides a quarter-turn motion from locked to unlocked, making operation predictable when aligning strikes and cams in cabinet layouts.
• Lipped and overlay construction use a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, allowing the cam to reach behind a face frame when the door overlays the cabinet front.
• Flush construction uses a 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset, bringing the cam into proper engagement on inset or flush doors and drawers.

Cam Lock Fit And Cylinder Length Use

The 15/16 inch cylinder length on this Olympus cam lock sets how thick a front and frame stack can be on overlay applications. For overlay construction, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the listed cylinder length, so this 15/16 inch dimension controls where the cam will land behind the mounting surface. The keyed-alike C346A cylinder works with the disc tumbler mechanism to provide consistent keying across locks in the same series.

The 90 degree cam turn gives a simple quarter-turn action, so the cam swings from clear to engaged without overtravel. The revolutionary cylinder and cylinder extender design lets the same cylinder be moved between different size cam lock bodies, which supports changing door or drawer thickness while keeping the same keying pattern in a run of cabinets.

Using This Olympus Cam Lock In Cabinet Work

Where This Olympus Cam Lock Performs Best

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is designed for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it suits mixed runs of cabinets where openings swing in either direction. The 90 degree cam turn works with both handings, so the installer can orient the cam to catch the strike whether the door hinges on the left or right. Lipped and overlay construction use the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which lets the cam reach past a face frame or applied front on overlay cabinets.

For flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset positions the contact point closer to the inside face of the door or drawer, so inset fronts can lock cleanly without adding spacers. The matte black 954-US19-C346A finish from Olympus Lock, Inc. coordinates with dark-faced cabinetry, which supports a consistent look on commercial millwork and residential built-ins.

The keyed-alike C346A setup ties multiple locks into a single key code, which streamlines day-to-day access to drawers and cabinet doors that share the same security level. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test rating at 20,000 cycles means the lock has been exercised under a defined test load, so the cam motion and key operation are proven across many usage cycles.

Details That Support Repeatable Lock Installations

The patented retainer staple that holds the cylinder and body assembled helps during layout and boring because the core stays engaged with the housing while the installer positions the lock in the panel. Since keys are not required for assembly of the cylinder and body, the lock can be installed and adjusted at the shop stage while key sets are managed separately.

The spur washer with eyelet is designed to dig into the rear of the mounting surface when the nut is tightened, so it resists rotation that can otherwise misalign the cam over time. This resistance keeps the cam aligned with the strike or frame member, keeping the lock action consistent after the cabinet is in service. The 90 degree cam turn also makes it easier to mark and repeat cam positions on multiple identical cabinets, which helps standardize drilling patterns and strike locations.

The revolutionary cylinder and cylinder extender arrangement allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, giving flexibility when cabinet fronts vary in thickness but must share the same keying pattern. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48 to 72 hours, so projects requiring specific key codes can be matched while using the same 954-US19-C346A cam lock bodies already planned into the job.
