Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinet Security

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives you a 2 inch cylinder keyed alike 452 in a bright nickel finish, so keyed-alike runs are straightforward on cabinets where appearance matters. The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined via a patented retainer staple, which means the core and housing stay properly mated during handling and installation. It is shipped with cylinder and body assembled via this retainer staple, so the lock body is ready for mounting as a single unit. The lock has passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles, including key insertion and removal, showing it is designed to withstand repeated daily locking and unlocking in service. A 90 degree cam turn provides a clear quarter-turn locking action, giving predictable cam travel for typical drawer and cabinet door layouts.

Key Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body connected via a patented retainer staple, so installers handle one assembled piece during mounting, which streamlines layout and reduces handling steps at the bench.
• Passing the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal shows the cam lock is built for frequent operation, which matters on high-use drawers and cabinet doors in commercial or shop environments.
• The disc tumbler design with a 2 inch cylinder keyed alike 452 allows multiple locks using the same key number, which simplifies key management where several doors or drawers need coordinated access.
• The bright nickel finish on the Olympus cam lock provides a clean metallic appearance, which helps the lock sit visually with common bright cabinet hardware in office, retail, or shop installations.
• The lock is described for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, giving flexibility across a run of cabinets so one cam lock type can be used on multiple orientations without changing product families.
• The lock uses a 90 degree cam turn, providing a simple quarter-turn operation that aligns well with typical cam travel paths, helping reduce trial-and-error when positioning strikes and cams.

Cam Lock Installation, Cams, And Construction Styles

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is designed for drawers and both right-hand and left-hand doors, so one lock style can be laid out across mixed cabinet runs. For lipped or overlay construction, it uses a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which works when the door overlays the frame and you need the cam to reach behind the lip. For flush construction, it uses a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, giving the extra reach and offset needed when the door sits flush with the frame thickness. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, which guides material selection and door build-up so the key can fully engage the tumbler stack.

Where This Olympus Cam Lock Fits In Your Work

Using The Cam Lock On Drawers And Doors

The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it fits standard cabinet casework in shops, offices, and other built-in furniture projects using cam locking. The 90 degree cam turn gives a clear quarter-turn motion, which suits typical drawer and door edge conditions where the cam only needs to travel from open to closed against a strike or frame. For lipped or overlay construction, the 1-1/2 inch straight cam reaches behind the overhanging front, helping the cam properly grab the frame without overtravel. On flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam lines the cam surface with the frame to pull the door tight in the closed position.

Details That Support Replacement And Key Control

The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, giving inventory and keying flexibility when matching existing key systems across mixed cabinet thicknesses. The lock is keyed alike 452, which means a set of these locks can be keyed to a single 452 key code, simplifying access control on banks of drawers or doors built around this number. The key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, so the cylinder does not have to stay captive to indicate locked state, which allows users to remove the key after locking or leave it out after unlocking as preferred. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports projects that need specific key schedules or rekeyed cylinders on a defined time frame.
