Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives you a keyed alike 413 cam lock solution in a compact format for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined by a patented retainer staple, so the working core is already seated for direct installation into your panel prep. The matte black 960-US19-C413A finish provides a dark, uniform appearance that blends into modern casework and helps maintain a consistent hardware look across installations. A 90 degree cam turn delivers a short, defined rotation between locked and unlocked positions, which matters when you are coordinating clearances around adjacent components. The design is intended for lipped or overlay construction with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, or for flush construction using a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, giving flexibility across common cabinet build-ups.

Key Cam Lock Details That Support Your Work

• The lock comes assembled with a patented retainer staple, so the cylinder and body are already joined, saving assembly steps during installation and reducing handling of small lock components at the bench.
• Keyed alike 413 cylinders let multiple cam locks operate from the same key code, simplifying key management for banks of drawers or doors in a single project or location.
• The matte black 960-US19-C413A finish creates a consistent dark appearance on visible faces, which helps match other black hardware on contemporary cabinets and store fixtures.
• For overlay applications, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, which keeps the key reach and cam engagement within the intended operating depth.
• The lock passed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test with 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, supporting repeated daily use in cabinetry where regular locking and unlocking is expected.
• Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, allowing project-specific key schedules while maintaining the same Olympus cam lock platform.

Cam Lock Mounting, Cams, And Spur Washer Use

The Olympus cam lock uses a spur washer with eyelet that, when screwed into place, prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which supports stable cam alignment over time. For drawers and doors, the choice between the 1-1/2 inch straight cam for lipped or overlay construction, or the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam for flush construction, lets you match the cam reach to the door or drawer front build. The 90 degree cam turn provides a simple quarter-turn motion from locked to unlocked, making it easier to set stops and understand handle travel in relation to adjacent hardware. Key removable positions in both locked and unlocked states mean the key can be withdrawn after turning either way, which affects how users secure or access a cabinet run.

How This Olympus Cam Lock Works In Cabinets

Applications On Drawers, Doors, And Construction Types

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers as well as right-hand or left-hand doors, so the same core product handles multiple swing directions and slide-outs within a project. Lipped or overlay construction uses the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which reaches past the front to engage strikes or cabinet members behind the overlaid surface. Flush construction uses the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, which offsets the cam to the correct plane when the door front sits flush with the frame, maintaining contact where the cam sweeps. For overlay applications, the combined front and frame thickness cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, which ties material stack-up directly to how far the key cylinder projects beyond the door face and how the cam sits behind it. The keyed alike 413 callout allows grouped openings to be controlled with one key pattern, useful wherever several drawers or doors must follow a common security level.

Details That Improve Installation, Keying, And Service

The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body held by a patented retainer staple, which eliminates separate seating of the cylinder and helps keep tolerances consistent as you insert the unit into the prepared bore. The spur washer with eyelet is designed so that, when screwed into place, it bites into the substrate to stop the lock body from rotating and helps keep the fixing nut from backing off, which preserves the cam throw alignment relative to the frame. The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be easily swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which increases inventory and keying flexibility when mixing body depths or construction types. Because the cylinder can move between bodies, you can maintain a keying system while selecting the body size that suits each overlay or flush condition. Passing the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test for 20,000 cycles, including key insertion and removal, shows that the internal disc tumbler components, cam engagement, and key interface are built to operate repeatedly under normal cabinet use. Custom keying that typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours supports implementing specific master or change key schemes while staying within the same Olympus 960-US19-C413A platform.
