Olympus disc tumbler cam lock uses a 1-3/16 inch cylinder keyed alike to C420A to secure drawers and doors, so multiple lock points can be keyed to the same code on a project. The lock is in the cam locks class under locks and latches, so it suits typical cam lock applications on casework in woodworking environments. A bright nickel finish identifies the part visually when matching to existing Olympus Lock, Inc. hardware by appearance and part number. The 953-14A-C420A manufacturer part number ties the specific cylinder, keying, and body configuration to ordering and replacement work. The SAP description referencing 7/8 max indicates the body sizing range referenced in system records, which matters when aligning this cam body length to door or drawer thickness and construction style.
The cam lock has a 90 degree cam turn, so the installer can position the cam to throw and retract with a quarter-turn motion that matches common cabinet lock expectations. It is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so the same product can be oriented for either swing direction or vertical drawer fronts. For lipped or overlay construction, it uses a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which reaches past the overlay to engage a strike or frame surface. For flush construction, it uses a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, which positions the cam correctly relative to the flush front and frame. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, so the body length and front build-up are matched to allow the cam to operate without binding.
This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for both right-hand and left-hand doors, so a single locking standard can be used across a run of cabinets with mixed openings. In lipped or overlay construction, the 1-1/2 inch straight cam reaches around the overlay and contacts the frame or strike, so the lock can secure overlay doors where the door front projects past the case side. In flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam positions the contact surface in line with the case, so the cam can bite behind the frame or strike surface on a flush door or drawer front. The bright nickel finish presents a consistent look where locks are visible, which matters on exposed cabinet faces where matching metal finishes is part of the specification.
The 1-3/16 inch cylinder keyed alike C420A standardizes keying, so a single key pattern can operate every 953-14A-C420A lock in a keyed-alike group for easier day-to-day access control. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles, including key insertion and removal, confirms the internal disc tumbler mechanism is designed to hold up under repeated locking and unlocking over time. The cylinder plus cylinder extender design lets the same cylinder move to different size cam lock bodies, so a shop can respond to varied door thicknesses while keeping a consistent key system. The spur washer with eyelet bites into the mounting surface when screwed into place, so it resists lock rotation and helps keep the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which keeps the cam aligned with the strike. The assembly by patented retainer staple holds cylinder and body together as one unit, so the lock can be handled and installed as a single component on the bench or on-site.
The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock uses a 1-3/16 inch cylinder keyed alike to C420A, so multiple locks can share the same key pattern on a project.
The cam lock is for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it can be applied across typical cabinet openings with different swing directions.
Lipped or overlay construction uses a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, while flush construction uses a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam to align the cam with the frame.
The cam lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 test at 20,000 cycles with key insertion and removal, indicating durability for frequent daily operation.
The eyelet spur washer, when screwed into place, prevents lock rotation and helps keep the fixing nut from loosening, so the cam stays aimed at the strike.
The cylinder plus cylinder extender allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, so keying can stay consistent while body lengths change.
The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock with 1-3/16 inch cylinder keyed alike C420A offers a bright nickel cam lock solution for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors. With cams specified for lipped or overlay and for flush construction, it covers common cabinet builds in woodworking projects. The passing ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles supports use where locks are operated regularly. For projects that call for keyed alike cam locks with defined cam geometries and bright nickel appearance, this Olympus 953-14A-C420A configuration is a focused match.
