Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is a cam lock from Olympus Lock, Inc. with a 2 inch cylinder keyed alike 415 that secures drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, giving one key pattern across multiple lock points where that keying system is used. The bright nickel finish on this 961-14A-C415A cam lock presents a uniform metal appearance that pairs cleanly with typical cabinet hardware in commercial and shop environments. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined by a patented retainer staple, so the working components arrive as a mated unit that is ready for installation into the prepared panel cutout. The internal disc tumbler design provides the keyed locking function that controls a 90 degree cam turn, so a quarter-turn motion handles locking and unlocking at the door or drawer edge.

Key Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined via a patented retainer staple, which sets the relationship between the core and housing before mounting and streamlines fitting the lock into the cabinet or drawer.
• The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test of 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so it is proven to operate through repeated locking, unlocking, and key usage in regular service.
• The spur washer with eyelet, when screwed into place, prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening, which helps the cam stay aligned with the strike location over time.
• The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, giving flexibility when matching lock bodies to varying material thicknesses while maintaining a keying plan.
• Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports projects that need a specific key code or keying scheme on a predictable turnaround.
• Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions allows the user to withdraw the key after locking or after unlocking, fitting workflows where key holders might not stay at the cabinet.

Cam Lock Installation And Construction Options

This Olympus 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, so it can be applied across different cabinet front styles. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, which defines the panel stack that this lock body can properly clamp and secure. The 90 degree cam turn motion means layout around the strike or catch can be planned around a quarter-turn swing, simplifying edge and keeper placement. For drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, this lock offers a single hardware pattern that can be oriented to suit swing direction while keeping the same cylinder and keying arrangement.

Where This Olympus Cam Lock Delivers In The Shop

Using The Cam Lock On Drawers And Doors

This disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so it covers typical cabinet fronts, casework doors, and pull-out storage needing controlled access. The option for lipped or overlay construction with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam supports face-frame or overlay cabinet work where the cam must reach behind a protruding edge. For flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam aligns the cam travel with a flush front, helping the cam clear the front and engage the strike without binding. Because the key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, the lock can be used where temporary access is needed and the key holder does not remain on-site at every operation.

Details That Support Repeatable Lock Function And Keying

The patented retainer staple that joins the cylinder and body during assembly stabilizes the core within the housing, which supports consistent cam movement over the life of the lock. Passing the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal demonstrates that the moving components are designed for frequent use in service environments such as shops and commercial cabinets. The spur washer with eyelet, once screwed into position, prevents the lock from rotating in the panel and keeps the fixing nut from loosening, helping the cam return to the same position each time the key is turned. The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender system allows cylinders to move between different size cam lock bodies, which supports future changes in material thickness or cabinet design while retaining an established keying structure. Custom keying that typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours fits project schedules that call for matched key codes or master key setups on coordinated hardware. The keyed alike 415 configuration lets multiple locks operate from the same key number in that system, which simplifies day-to-day access control for users responsible for several locked points.
