Job-Ready Cam Lock Details That Save Time

• Lock comes assembled, which reduces bench time because the cylinder and body arrive already put together instead of as loose components that need pairing during installation.
• The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so it is verified for repeated daily use in cabinet environments where the lock will be operated frequently.
• Cylinder and body are assembled via a patented retainer staple, which holds these pieces together as a single unit during handling and mounting, reducing the chance of parts separating while positioning the lock in tight cabinet spaces.
• The spur washer with eyelet, when screwed into place, prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which helps the lock stay oriented correctly so the cam continues to meet the strike point.
• The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, increasing inventory and keying flexibility by letting the same keyed core serve multiple body lengths.
• Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports project schedules that need specific keying arrangements without long lead times.

Cam Lock Mounting And Construction Options

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock uses a 90 degree cam turn, so the cam rotates a quarter turn between locked and unlocked positions, giving a predictable handle feel for users opening drawers and doors. It is designed for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, allowing the same lock style to be used across mixed casework without changing hardware type. For lipped or overlay construction it uses a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, which reaches behind the cabinet front on overlay designs to catch the frame. For flush construction it uses a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, moving the contact point in line with flush fronts so the cam can still engage the frame properly. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, which keeps the keyway accessible and allows the cam to extend past the material stack to grab the cabinet structure.

Where This Olympus Cam Lock Works Best

Cam Lock Use On Drawers And Cabinet Doors

This Olympus cam lock for drawers and doors is specified for right-hand or left-hand doors, so installers can use it on either swing without changing the lock body, simplifying door hardware planning. Because it is a cam lock in the locks and latches category, it relies on the rotating cam to engage a strike area on the cabinet frame, which suits typical shop-made or commercial casework. The 1-1/2 inch straight cam for lipped or overlay construction lets the cam reach behind the applied front, allowing the lock to capture the frame even when the door or drawer face overlays the box. The 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam for flush construction lines up the cam throw with flush faces, which helps the lock pull the panel tight against the opening. The 90 degree cam turn keeps operation simple for users who expect a quarter-turn motion to lock or unlock a cabinet position.

Details That Support Repeatable Installation Results

The revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender feature allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which helps standardize keying across cabinets that need varying cylinder reach without carrying separate keyed groups. The spur washer with eyelet, once screwed into place, stops the lock body from rotating and keeps the fixing nut from loosening, so the keyway stays aligned and the cam consistently returns to the same position against the frame. The lock being assembled with the cylinder and body connected via a patented retainer staple means the installer handles a single lock unit, which streamlines boring, inserting, and securing when working through multiple cabinet fronts. Passing the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal means the operating feel remains stable over many users and key turns. Custom keying typically shipping direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours allows projects to specify particular keyed alike 415 arrangements while still supporting tight installation timelines.
