Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors
Olympus disc tumbler cam lock, 1-7/16 inch cylinder keyed alike 413 matte black 955-US19-C413A provides a keyed cam solution for drawers and both right-hand or left-hand doors, giving a consistent locking setup across multiple openings where keyed-alike function is required. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, so the core and housing arrive already mated for direct installation into the panel or door prep. This disc tumbler cam lock has a 1-7/16 inch cylinder length, so it can serve a range of overlay and flush construction layouts where the cylinder length must cover front and frame thickness. The matte black finish labeled 955-US19 offers a dark, low-glare appearance that can visually match other black architectural hardware on cabinets.
Key Features That Support Cabinet Locking Jobs
- The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined via a patented retainer staple, which streamlines the mounting step because there is no separate core-to-body assembly during installation on the cabinet or drawer.
- The product is keyed alike 413, so multiple cam locks can share the same key code, simplifying day-to-day access and reducing the number of different keys used on a bank of drawers or doors.
- The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, indicating it is engineered for repeated operation in typical commercial or shop environments without excessive wear in the cylinder.
- A spur washer with eyelet is used so that, when screwed into place, the spur washer helps prevent lock rotation in the panel and helps keep the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which supports long-term alignment of the cam position.
- The cylinder and body design uses a revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender that allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, increasing inventory and keying flexibility for shops handling varied panel thicknesses.
- The cam offers a 90 degree cam turn, providing a straightforward quarter-turn motion between locked and unlocked positions that many installers and users already expect in cam-operated cabinet locks.
Installation Details For Overlay And Flush Fronts
This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock supports both lipped or overlay construction using a 1-1/2 inch straight cam and flush construction using a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, allowing one lock family to cover different cabinet face conditions. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed for the lock, so the specified 1-7/16 inch cylinder length sets the maximum assembly thickness that can be clamped by the cylinder and fixing nut. The 90 degree cam turn works with the chosen straight or offset cam to swing from clear to engaged positions without extra travel, which is useful where clearance behind the panel is limited. Lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body already joined by the patented retainer staple, which keeps the cylinder orientation fixed while tightening the fixing nut against the spur washer.
Using This Olympus Cam Lock In Cabinet Work
Where This Cam Lock Fits In Cabinet Projects
The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so it can be used across mixed cabinet layouts without choosing separate part numbers for door handing. Lipped or overlay construction is supported with the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, making this lock suitable for doors or drawers that sit proud of the cabinet frame where the cam must reach behind the lip. Flush construction uses the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam so the cam aligns with the strike point behind a flush front, which is typical in many casework and fixture designs. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the listed cylinder length, so the 1-7/16 inch cylinder manages fronts where material build-up stays within that dimension. The keyed alike 413 configuration lets multiple locks in the same installation operate with one key code, which is helpful in banks of drawers or multiple cabinet doors that must stay coordinated.
Details That Support Reliable Operation And Keying
The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so the cylinder and key interface are validated for repeated locking and unlocking in regular commercial use. A spur washer with eyelet is designed so that, when screwed into place, it bites into the mounting surface to help prevent lock rotation and also helps keep the fixing nut from loosening, maintaining cam alignment over time. The patented retainer staple that joins the cylinder and body means the lock comes assembled, holding the plug in correct relationship to the housing while the body is secured, which helps maintain consistent key orientation relative to the cam. The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be easily swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which lets shops adapt one key system across varying door or drawer thicknesses while keeping inventory of separate bodies and cylinders more flexible. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, giving projects access to non-standard keying patterns on a predictable timetable. The matte black 955-US19 finish provides a dark aesthetic that visually ties into other black hardware, which matters in installations where visible lock faces must align with the overall design scheme.
