Cam Lock Installation And Application Fit

This cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, which lets a single lock family serve multiple swing directions without changing SKUs in the shop. It is suitable for lipped or overlay construction using a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, tying the geometry to face-frame or overlay cabinet designs. It is also suitable for flush construction using a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, so inset or flush panels can be addressed with the same core lock platform. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, which keeps the cam in the working zone for positive engagement. Key removal is possible in both locked and unlocked positions, which helps when multiple users need quick access without leaving the key trapped in one state.

Using This 1-3/16 Cylinder Cam Lock On Jobs

Where This Matte Black Cam Lock Fits Best

The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock, 1-3/16 inch cylinder keyed alike C390A, fits projects calling for a coordinated matte black 953-US19-C390A finish across locks and other black-finished hardware. Its role in drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors means it can be used in casework runs, workstations, and storage cabinets that share a common key system.

Because key removal works in both locked and unlocked positions, users can operate the lock, remove the key, and still leave the cabinet open or closed as the workflow requires.

Details That Help Repeatable Lock Installation Results

The lock comes assembled via a patented retainer staple connecting cylinder and body, which reduces assembly variability and helps installers keep keying configurations intact during mounting. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test rating for 20,000 cycles, including key insertion and removal, indicates the mechanism is designed to sustain repeated locking and unlocking over time, helping reduce rework from worn-out cores in busy environments. The spur washer with eyelet, when screwed into place, bites against the substrate to prevent lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, supporting long-term alignment of the cam to the strike. The revolutionary cylinder and cylinder extender system allows the same keying to be moved between different size cam lock bodies, so when cabinet thickness or design changes, the cylinder can be used with another body while retaining the keying plan. Custom keying typically shipping from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours helps projects maintain schedules when specific key codes or master-key plans are required.
