Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock, 1-3/16 inch cylinder keyed different/master keyed bright nickel 953-14A-MKKD gives installers a keyed different and master keyed solution for cabinets that need individual keys plus master access. The bright nickel finish provides a clean, professional look that suits visible cabinet and fixture locations. This Olympus Lock, Inc. Cascade Series cam lock is built as a disc tumbler design, giving a familiar pinning style for locksmiths who work with Olympus systems. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body already joined by a patented retainer staple, so the core and housing arrive locked together in a ready-to-mount form that saves bench time. This configuration fits projects where a 1-3/16 inch cylinder length is required to pass through the front and frame material without exceeding the specified thickness limits.

Cam Lock Details That Support Real Job Needs

• The lock comes assembled, so the cylinder and body reach the site ready to install, which reduces assembly steps at the bench or on the job.
• The cylinder and body are assembled via a patented retainer staple, which secures the components together and helps maintain alignment during mounting in cabinet panels.
• The lock passed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle testing at 20,000 cycles, covering both key insertion and removal, which speaks to its ability to handle repeated daily use in typical cabinet environments.
• A spur washer with eyelet is used so that, when screwed into place, the spur washer prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which helps the lock stay oriented and tight in the panel.
• The 90 degree cam turn action provides a quarter-turn operation, giving a predictable motion for engaging cams with strikes or frames on cabinet doors and drawers.
• The design is set up for keyed different/master keyed operation, which allows individual keying per lock while supporting a master key across a group of cabinets or fixtures.

Installation And Fit For Overlay And Flush Cabinets

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is intended for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it suits multiple cabinet orientations in the same project. It works in lipped or overlay construction using a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which allows the cam to reach over the lip or overlay to engage the frame. For flush construction, it uses a 1-1/8 inch extension cam with an 11/32 inch offset, so the offset cam can line up with the frame surface on inset fronts. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed as 1-3/16 inch, which keeps the threaded portion long enough to secure with the fixing nut while allowing the cam to operate freely.

Using The Cascade Series Cam Lock In Cabinet Projects

Where This Olympus Cam Lock Fits Best

This Olympus cam lock 953-14A-MKKD is suited for drawers and cabinet doors where a 1-3/16 inch cylinder length will accommodate the panel build-up. The keyed different/master keyed configuration supports installations where each door or drawer needs its own key while remaining under a master system. Lipped and overlay construction can be handled using the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which lets the cam swing behind or past the door edge to secure against the cabinet frame. For flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset allows the cam to step in toward the frame plane, helping line up the locking point with inset fronts commonly used in casework and fixture work.

Details That Help With Consistent Locking Performance

The passed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles, including key insertion and removal, means the internal disc tumbler mechanism and keyway have been evaluated for repeated operation, supporting long-term service in frequently used cabinets. The spur washer with eyelet is designed so that, when it is screwed into the panel, its teeth resist rotation and help hold the fixing nut tight, which keeps the cylinder from backing off or drifting out of alignment. The cylinder and body arrive assembled via the patented retainer staple, offering a secure connection that simplifies handling and reduces the chance of separating components during layout. A revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender system allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which gives shops flexibility to adjust cylinder length requirements while maintaining the same keying system. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports project schedules that need specific keying configurations without long delays. The 90 degree cam turn gives a clear open-and-closed position, helping installers orient the cam correctly relative to the strike or frame when setting up the lock on drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors.
