Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives drawers and cabinet doors a keyed locking point using a 1-7/16 inch cylinder keyed different/master keyed. This setup provides individual keying with a master key option, which supports controlled access in multi-user installations. The bright nickel finish identifies the Olympus Lock, Inc. cam body at a glance, helping match it with other bright nickel cabinet hardware on the job. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body connected via a patented retainer staple, so the core and housing arrive already joined for immediate mounting into the prepared hole. This disc tumbler design provides a compact cam lock format suited to common cabinet and casework applications where keyed security is needed.

Key Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• Lock comes assembled, so the cylinder and body arrive joined for straightforward placement into the panel cutout and nut tightening, which streamlines bench or onsite installation steps.
• Passed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so the cylinder and keying have been mechanically tested for repeated daily locking and unlocking in regular cabinet service.
• Shipped with cylinder and body assembled via patented retainer staple, providing a secure connection between components that resists separation while the cam is operating against the strike.
• Revolutionary cylinder and cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, giving inventory flexibility when matching keying across varying door and drawer thicknesses.
• Custom keying typically ships direct from manufacturer in 48-72 hours, so projects requiring specific key codes or master systems can be supported on short scheduling windows.
• Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions, which allows the user to withdraw the key after locking or while the cam is in the open position, depending on the access workflow.

Installation And Cam Action For Cabinet Applications

The cam lock provides a 90 degree cam turn, so the installer can orient the cam to throw from open to closed in a quarter turn that aligns with common cabinet strikes or frame edges. The design suits drawers as well as right-hand or left-hand doors, allowing the same lock body to be used across different cabinet layouts by changing cam orientation. For overlay application using the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length, which ties door construction directly to proper cam engagement. For flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam gives clearance to reach the strike line, so the face panel can sit flush while the cam still hooks behind the frame.

Using This Olympus Cam Lock In Real Projects

Where This Disc Tumbler Cam Lock Fits Best

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is classified under cam locks for drawers and lipped or flush doors, putting it squarely into cabinet and casework projects in shops, offices, and storage areas. The 1-7/16 inch cylinder length supports overlay constructions where the combined front and frame thickness remains within that cylinder dimension, so the cam can fully rotate and bite behind the frame. For lipped or overlay doors, the 1-1/2 inch straight cam reaches behind the lip, securing the door at the stile, while the defined limit on combined thickness avoids binding of the cam against the frame. For flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset steps the cam back to the frame, so installers can lock a flush face panel to a setback cabinet rail or stile without additional spacers.

Details That Support Repeatable Locking Results

The spur washer with eyelet is designed so that when it is screwed into place, the spur washer prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which maintains the lock orientation and cam throw alignment over time. The 90 degree cam turn standardizes how far the cam travels from open to closed, simplifying layout of strikes or catch plates across multiple doors and drawers in the same run. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions lets facilities decide whether keys stay with staff while doors are open or remain only for lockup, reducing rekey events tied to workflow. The cylinder and body assembled via the patented retainer staple arrive as a single unit, which preserves the relationship between the disc tumbler core and cam body while the installer threads the fixing nut, minimizing handling during high-volume shop installations. The disc tumbler format and Olympus Lock, Inc. branding align this model with the 955-14A-MKKD part number, so future replacements can follow the same specification for consistent operation.
