Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock, 1-7/16" Cylinder Keyed Different Matte Black 955-US19-KD

Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives you a keyed cam solution for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number covers multiple cabinet layouts in the shop or on a retrofit job. The 1-7/16 inch cylinder length defines how deep it can be set through the front and frame, which matters when you are working with different panel builds. Matte black finish matches projects calling for a dark hardware look, helping this lock blend into modern casework. The lock is built as a disc tumbler style, which sets the keying format and supports keyed-different setups under this part. Manufacturer part 955-US19-KD identifies this exact version for consistent reordering across similar installations.

Key Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The lock comes assembled, which reduces handling steps at the bench and lets you move straight to boring and mounting the cam lock body.
• Shipped with the cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, the unit stays together during handling, helping prevent parts separation before installation.
• The product passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test for 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so the lock is rated for repeated use in typical cabinet openings.
• A spur washer with eyelet, when screwed into place, prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which supports long-term alignment of the cam.
• The cylinder and cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which increases keying flexibility and simplifies inventory across multiple cabinet lines.

Installation Fit And Cam Movement Details

The lock uses a 90 degree cam turn, which defines how far the cam travels between locked and unlocked positions and affects strike alignment on the door or drawer. It works on drawers and on right-hand or left-hand doors, so you can standardize on one cam action for different swing directions. For lipped or overlay construction, it pairs with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which positions the cam to catch properly over the frame edge. For flush construction, it uses a 1-1/8 inch extension with 11/32 inch offset cam, providing the offset needed to reach the strike plane on inset fronts. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the listed cylinder length, which governs whether the key can reach the tumbler stack correctly.

Where This Cam Lock Fits In Cabinet Projects

Using The Lock On Drawers And Doors

This Olympus cam lock for drawers and doors is designed for both right-hand and left-hand door swings, so one locking format can be applied across a full run of casework. On drawers, the 90 degree cam turn provides a defined quarter-turn action, which aligns the cam with a keeper or frame edge without over-rotation. In lipped or overlay construction using the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, the straight reach works with the lip to secure the front against the frame. In flush construction with the 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset cam, the offset geometry lets the cam move behind an inset front where the face is in the same plane as the frame. This flexibility supports both new cabinet builds and updates where face treatments vary from opening to opening.

Details That Support Keying, Service, And Stability

The key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, which means the cam lock can be left unlocked without the key hanging in the cylinder, reducing interference with drawer operation or door swing. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which helps align project schedules when specific keying patterns are required. The cylinder and cylinder extender arrangement allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, giving you the option to reuse keying layouts while changing body reach for different cabinet thicknesses. The spur washer with eyelet stops the body from rotating in the bore and helps keep the fixing nut from backing off, so cam alignment stays consistent over time. Lock construction that passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test for 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal is built for repeated daily operation in typical cabinet environments.
