Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock, 2" Cylinder Keyed Alike 420, Bright Nickel 961-14A-C420A

Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives you a 2 inch cylinder cam lock in bright nickel that is ready for drawer and door security work. The lock comes assembled, so the cylinder and body arrive together via a patented retainer staple connection, which speeds bench work because the core is already seated in the housing. This cam lock uses a disc tumbler mechanism keyed alike 420, allowing multiple locks with the same key code where that keying pattern is specified. The cylinder and body design passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test of 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so it is rated for repeated locking and unlocking in regular service. A 90 degree cam turn operates the locking action, giving a simple quarter-turn motion to lock or unlock drawers and either right-hand or left-hand doors.

Key Olympus Cam Lock Details That Help On The Job

• The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined by a patented retainer staple, which reduces assembly steps and keeps the working parts aligned as you mount the lock into the panel.
• The product passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles, including key insertion and removal, so it is verified for repeated use in typical drawer and door service where the lock sees frequent operation.
• This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is keyed alike 420, providing a consistent key code across locks ordered to that system so that the same cut pattern operates those matching cylinders in a keyed-alike scheme.
• The bright nickel finish on the cam lock presents a clean metallic look at the face while coordinating with bright nickel hardware runs where a consistent appearance at visible lock fronts matters.
• A revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which increases inventory and keying flexibility by letting one keyed system serve multiple body sizes.
• The lock uses a 90 degree cam turn, so the installer and end user work with a straightforward quarter-turn motion between locked and unlocked positions in normal drawer and door use.

Installation And Cam Application For This Olympus Lock

This Olympus cam lock is set up for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, giving flexibility across common cabinet layouts. The spur washer with eyelet is designed so that when it is screwed into place it prevents lock rotation, which keeps the cylinder from twisting in the panel during use and helps the fixing nut stay tight after installation. For lipped or overlay construction, the lock uses a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, matching applications where the door overlays the frame. For flush construction, it uses a 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset, matching face and frame that sit in the same plane. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the listed cylinder length, so the lock body engages its cam travel without binding.

Using This Olympus Cam Lock In Real Installations

Where This Bright Nickel Cam Lock Fits Best

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock belongs in drawer fronts and right-hand or left-hand doors where a 2 inch cylinder suits the construction. The bright nickel version presents well on cabinets using bright nickel hardware across pulls and hinges, so the lock face stays visually consistent with other bright nickel components on the run. For lipped or overlay construction, the 1-1/2 inch straight cam layout lets the cam pick up the strike point behind an overlaying front, keeping the locking bar action in line with the overlay profile. In flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension cam with 11/32 inch offset is sized for faces that sit even with the frame, letting the offset bridge from the cylinder centerline back to the frame-mounted strike or catch. This keeps the cam motion aligned with the door or drawer geometry.

Details That Support Reliable Locking Performance

The cylinder and body on this Olympus disc tumbler cam lock ship assembled via a patented retainer staple, so the core is already captured in the body when you set the lock into the bore, which reduces handling and helps maintain correct cylinder orientation while tightening the fixing nut. A spur washer with eyelet is part of the lock system; when it is screwed into place, the spur washer prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, helping the lock stay aligned with the front surface over repeated key turns. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test performance at 20,000 cycles, including key insertion and removal, verifies that the cam, cylinder, and keyway are built for sustained operation in typical cabinet duty where users lock and unlock frequently. The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design lets cylinders be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, giving flexibility when standardizing a keyed alike 420 system across varying door and drawer thicknesses without changing the key pattern.
