Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinet Security
Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives drawers and cabinet doors a keyed control point using a 1-7/16 inch cylinder, so you can standardize on a known size when laying out face or case drilling. The lock is factory assembled with the cylinder and body joined by a patented retainer staple, which speeds installation because there is no loose core to align during mounting. The cylinder is keyed alike 452, allowing multiple locks set up on the same key number to operate together in a project. A matte black 955-US19 finish creates a dark, uniform appearance that pairs with contemporary casework and hides minor handling marks in typical shop or field conditions. The lock is designed as a disc tumbler cam lock, so it fits established cabinet cam lock prep patterns while providing a positive key-controlled cam rotation.
Key Lock Features That Support Cabinet Work
- The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, which shows it is built for repeated daily operation in a typical cabinet environment.
- A 90 degree cam turn provides a simple quarter-turn motion from locked to unlocked, helping users quickly feel full engagement of the cam against the strike or frame.
- The spur washer with eyelet is designed so that, when screwed into place, it prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which helps maintain alignment over time.
- The cylinder and body are shipped assembled via a patented retainer staple, so the installer works with a single unit that is ready to mount into the casework prep.
- A revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, increasing inventory and keying flexibility across a shop or multi-site project.
Cam Lock Fit For Drawers And Door Construction
This cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number can be used across multiple casework orientations. It works in lipped or overlay construction with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, allowing the cam to bridge over the lip or overlay to catch the frame. It also works in flush construction using a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, which positions the cam to engage properly when the door or drawer front sits flush with the cabinet face. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, so the lock body can reach through the material and still operate the cam.
Using This Matte Black Cam Lock In Cabinet Projects
Where This Olympus Cam Lock Is Applied
This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is intended for drawers and cabinet doors that need key control, so it suits casework where access is limited to keyed users. The design works on right-hand and left-hand doors, allowing the same locking hardware to be used on opposite ends of a run without changing part numbers. Lipped and overlay construction with the 1-1/2 inch straight cam lets the cam reach behind a lip or overlapping front, which is common in kitchen, breakroom, or office cabinetry. Flush construction is supported by the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, so cabinets with fronts aligned to the frame can still use the same lock family while maintaining a clean front appearance.
Details That Support Repeatable Lock Installation
The patented retainer staple that holds the cylinder and body together creates a single assembled lock, which simplifies repetitive installations on shop lines or in the field by reducing handling steps and alignment time. The spur washer with eyelet engages the cabinet material when screwed into place, preventing the lock from rotating under torque and helping the fixing nut stay tight, so key position stays consistent from unit to unit. The 90 degree cam turn gives clear feedback at a quarter turn, making it easy to set locked or unlocked positions consistently across multiple doors or drawers. The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender system lets cylinders move between different size cam lock bodies, which supports standardized keying while still matching varying material thicknesses and construction details. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, enabling projects that rely on specific key codes to stay aligned with scheduling demands when grouping locks by key number.
