Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives you a keyed security point for drawers and both right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part covers common cabinet and furniture layouts. The bright nickel finish identifies it as the 961-14A-KD model from Olympus Lock, Inc., which helps match it to existing Olympus key systems on the job. The 2 inch cylinder keyed different setup assigns each lock its own key, which is useful where you want separation between work areas or users. This lock comes assembled with cylinder and body joined by a patented retainer staple, which saves bench time during casework builds. The cam turns 90 degrees, giving a predictable quarter-turn action that works cleanly with standard cam strikes and locking points in cabinet construction.

Key Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, which means the internal disc tumbler mechanism is built to handle frequent locking and unlocking in service environments.
• The cylinder and body are assembled via a patented retainer staple, so the lock arrives as a single working unit that drops into the cutout and speeds through-hole installation on cabinet runs.
• The 2 inch cylinder keyed different configuration provides individual keying per lock, which is useful where separate cabinets, offices, or stations need their own keys without shared access.
• A spur washer with eyelet is used; when this washer is screwed into place it prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which keeps the key position consistent over time.
• The cylinder and cylinder extender design is described as revolutionary, allowing cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which lets shops reuse keyed cylinders and adjust body length to suit new cabinet thicknesses.
• Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports project schedules where a specific key system is needed quickly for a larger keyed plan.

Cam Lock Construction, Fit, And Door Applications

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so the same hardware can be used across multiple door swings in a run of cabinets. It supports lipped or overlay construction using a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which lets the cam reach behind an overlay front to a frame or strike. It also supports flush construction using a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, which positions the cam correctly when the front and frame are in the same plane. For overlay application, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, so the door build-up stays within the operating reach of the 2 inch cylinder. The 90 degree cam turn helps align the locking tongue with strikes or keeper plates that are laid out around a quarter-turn motion.

Using This Olympus Cam Lock In Woodworking Projects

Where This Disc Tumbler Cam Lock Works Best

The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is designed for drawers and cabinet doors in lipped, overlay, or flush construction, so it suits typical casework across shops served by Wurth Baer Supply. In overlay construction, the 1-1/2 inch straight cam reaches past the door front and frame, which allows the cam to hook or press against a fixed strike behind the overlay. In flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam shifts the locking point closer to the case side, which keeps the cam aligned with a flush front while still engaging solid material. The 2 inch cylinder length defines how much combined front and frame thickness can be used in overlay setups, which helps keep the locking mechanism accessible from the key side.

Details That Support Reliable Keying And Service

This Olympus cam lock uses a disc tumbler mechanism that has passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles, including key insertion and removal, which supports repeated daily locking on frequently used cabinets. The lock is keyed different, so each 2 inch cylinder operates on its own key, which helps separate access when securing individual storage locations. The revolutionary cylinder and cylinder extender system allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which lets shops retain a known key configuration while changing body lengths to match new furniture designs. The spur washer with eyelet is tightened so that its spurs bite into the mounting surface, which holds the body against rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening as doors and drawers are operated. Custom keying for this Olympus model typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports coordinated key systems across multiple cabinets on time-sensitive projects.
