Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets
Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives drawers and cabinet doors a keyed locking point, so panels secure with a simple 90 degree cam turn during daily use. The 1-7/16 inch cylinder keyed alike 413 keeps keying consistent across multiple locks, which helps simplify key control on jobs with repeating casework. Bright nickel finish provides a clean, finished look that blends with common commercial and residential hardware, which supports a uniform appearance on visible cabinet fronts. The lock is shipped with the cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, so the core and housing arrive already mated for straightforward mounting into the prepared hole. The design serves lipped or overlay construction with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam and also flush construction with a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, which lets the same lock style cover different cabinet build-ups.
Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Work
- Passed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test of 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so the lock is designed for repeated use in typical cabinet and furniture environments.
- Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions, which lets installers and users remove the key after either position is set, helping streamline operation across multiple units.
- Spur washer with eyelet holds against rotation when screwed into place, so the lock body stays oriented and the fixing nut resists loosening during repeated door and drawer movement.
- Revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which supports inventory efficiency and field keying flexibility.
- Lock comes assembled, so the cylinder and body arrive ready to place into the mounting hole, which can reduce assembly steps at the bench or on site.
Installation And Cylinder Fit Considerations
The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is shipped with cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, which means the core is already retained in the housing when the installer positions the lock. A spur washer with eyelet is used and, when screwed into place, that spur washer prevents lock rotation and helps keep the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which supports long-term alignment of the cam to the strike. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, so the installer can match door and frame build-up to the cylinder selection for proper cam reach. The lock provides a 90 degree cam turn, giving a clear quarter-turn motion from locked to unlocked that coordinates with typical cam strikes and cutouts.
Using This Cam Lock In Cabinet Projects
Where This 1-7/16 Cylinder Cam Lock Fits
The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so the same part number can be used across mixed cabinet layouts on a project. The lock serves lipped or overlay construction with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which lets the cam reach behind an overlay front to engage the case or strike. It also serves flush construction with a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, allowing the cam to line up with flush faces and offset strikes on frameless or inset work. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, so cylinder sizing drives which cabinet fronts and frames this lock can properly span. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports project schedules when specific keying patterns are required for a run of cabinets.
Why These Cam Lock Details Matter On Site
The 1-7/16 inch cylinder keyed alike 413 keeps all locks in that keyed-alike group on the same key change, which reduces the number of keys tradespeople and facility staff carry for those openings. The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test of 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, indicating it has been tested for repeated locking and unlocking typical of frequently accessed storage. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means users can remove the key after securing or opening, which supports quick movement between several cabinets during stocking or maintenance. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined by the patented retainer staple, which removes a step when setting up multiple locks at a bench. The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, supporting keying flexibility when cabinet thickness or layout demands a different body length while keeping the same keying system. The bright nickel finish maintains a consistent appearance with other bright nickel hardware on the project, supporting a coordinated hardware package across doors and drawers.
