Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives you a keyed alike 452 cylinder in a cam lock configuration for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so one key code can control multiple cabinet points. The 1-3/4 inch cylinder length supports installations where the combined thickness of front and frame must not exceed the listed cylinder length, helping match the lock body to typical cabinet materials. The lock is shipped with the cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, which keeps the core seated in the body during handling and setup. This cam lock passes the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so the core and cam action are proven for repeated daily locking and unlocking in normal cabinet use. The matte black 960-US19 finish provides a dark, uniform appearance that blends with modern hardware and hides minor handling marks around the lock face.

Key Olympus Cam Lock Details For Daily Use

• The lock passes the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so the cam and plug are validated for frequent operation in commercial or busy residential cabinets.
• The cylinder and body are shipped assembled via a patented retainer staple, which holds the cylinder firmly in the housing and simplifies installing the lock into a prepared cabinet bore.
• A spur washer with eyelet, when screwed into place, prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, so the lock stays oriented and secure in the panel during use.
• The lock offers a 90 degree cam turn, providing a simple quarter-turn motion from locked to unlocked that is easy to align with strikes or keeper hardware on drawers and doors.
• The cylinder is keyed alike 452, allowing multiple locks with this key code to operate from the same key for straightforward key control on groups of cabinets.

Cam Lock Fit, Cylinder Length, And Construction Uses

The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock uses a cylinder length that must match the combined thickness of cabinet front and frame, so staying within the listed cylinder length keeps the threaded body fully engaged while allowing the cam to clear interior parts. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed below, which lets the cam throw reach behind an overlay front without binding. Lipped or overlay construction can be handled with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, so the straight cam can catch keepers or frames directly behind a lipped or overlay edge. Flush construction is served by a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, which steps the cam out to meet flush-mounted strikes or framing without stressing the cylinder. These construction options help align the cam throw with typical cabinet layouts in woodworking environments.

How This Matte Black Cam Lock Works In Cabinets

Applications On Drawers, Overlay, And Flush Doors

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so it suits a range of cabinet fronts that need key control without changing hardware type. Lipped or overlay construction is supported by the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, allowing the cam to reach behind lipped edges or applied fronts. Flush construction uses the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, positioning the cam to engage hardware set in the same plane as the door or drawer front. The 90 degree cam turn delivers a quarter-turn motion between locked and unlocked positions, which is easy to coordinate with hasps, strikes, or frame cutouts. The keyed alike 452 configuration allows groups of locks on these applications to be operated by the same key code, which is useful when multiple drawers or cabinet doors in the same area share access requirements.

Keying Flexibility, Retainer Staple, And Spur Washer Roles

The lock is shipped with the cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, helping hold the core in position so the installer can concentrate on seating the lock in the panel bore and tightening the fixing nut. A spur washer with eyelet, when screwed into place, prevents the lock housing from rotating under torque and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, maintaining cam alignment with strikes over time. The product uses a revolutionary cylinder and cylinder extender system that allows cylinders to be swapped easily between different size cam lock bodies, which increases inventory and keying flexibility for shops using multiple body lengths. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, enabling projects that need specific key codes or master systems to align deliveries with fabrication schedules. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 20,000-cycle performance shows that this keying and cam setup is tested for repeated insertion, turning, and removal in cabinet service.
