Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives drawers and cabinet doors a keyed lock point using a disc tumbler cylinder, so you can add controlled access where you need it in a shop, office, or commercial build. The 1-3/16 inch cylinder length sets a defined maximum material stack in overlay applications, which helps you match front and frame thickness to the lock body for proper cam engagement. The matte black finish ties in with dark contemporary hardware, so visible lock faces stay visually consistent with modern pulls and hinges. This cam lock passes the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test with 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so it is designed for repeated daily operation in working environments. A 90 degree cam turn provides a short, positive throw, which suits typical cabinet and drawer strikes without over-rotation.

Key Lock Features That Support Daily Use

• The cylinder and body ship assembled via a patented retainer staple, so the lock arrives as a single unit that is ready to mount into the prepared hole without field assembly of separate lock components.
• The spur washer with eyelet engages the panel when screwed into place, so it resists lock rotation in the mounting hole and helps the fixing nut stay tight after the installation is completed and the lock is in service.
• The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which supports inventory flexibility and lets one keying system serve multiple body lengths in a project.
• The lock is keyed alike to key code C413A, so multiple locks with this code can be operated by the same key where a shared key plan is desired across several drawers or doors in the installation.
• The cam lock provides key removal in both locked and unlocked positions, so the key can be taken away after securing or opening, which supports controlled key handling routines at the jobsite or facility.

Matte Black Cam Lock Mounting And Fit Details

The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock uses a cam action with a 90 degree turn, so the cam swings from open to locked within a quarter turn of the key, matching common strikes in cabinet and drawer layouts. The cylinder length establishes how much front and frame thickness can be used in overlay applications, and for overlay use the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed that cylinder length, which keeps threads available for the fixing nut and maintains cam reach. For lipped or overlay construction it uses a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, giving a direct throw behind the lip, while flush construction uses a 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset, which positions the cam correctly behind a flush door or drawer front.

Where This Olympus Cam Lock Fits Your Work

Using The Cam Lock On Drawers And Doors

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so one lock style can be applied across varied casework layouts in the same project. The ability to work with lipped or overlay construction using a 1-1/2 inch straight cam means it can secure overlay doors or drawer fronts where the front overlays the cabinet frame, giving a simple swing-behind action onto a strike or frame edge. For flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset positions the cam behind flush doors or fronts, so the lock can engage cleanly without disturbing the face alignment of the casework. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test rating with 20,000 cycles of operation including key insertion and removal indicates that this cam lock is built for repetitive opening and closing in environments such as offices, institutional millwork, or shop cabinetry. The matte black finish coordinates well in installations using dark decorative hardware, so the lock face does not visually distract from planned hardware lines on doors and drawers.

Details That Support Repeatable Lock Installations

The cylinder and body are assembled using a patented retainer staple, so installers receive the cam lock as a unified piece, which simplifies layout and speeds insertion into the casework bore during production or retrofit work. The spur washer with eyelet is designed to be screwed into place against the panel, so its teeth bite into the substrate to resist lock rotation and the washer helps keep the fixing nut from loosening over time under repeated key turns. The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender arrangement allows cylinders to be moved between different size cam lock bodies, so a shop can standardize on one keying system while using multiple body lengths to suit different material thicknesses and construction types. Key removal in both locked and unlocked positions means the operator can withdraw the key after locking for security or after unlocking when leaving a cabinet open during active use, supporting controlled key habits in managed facilities. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports projects that require specific key codes or master key systems without extended lead times. Keyed alike C413A means that locks ordered with this code will operate on the same key pattern, which simplifies key distribution where a common key is desired across several openings.
