Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

Olympus disc tumbler cam lock gives you a 2 inch cylinder keyed alike 452 in a matte black finish for consistent appearance and key control across matching installations. This cam lock is built as an Olympus Lock, Inc. solution for drawers and both right-hand or left-hand doors, so it handles mixed layouts in the same run of casework. The lock is shipped with cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, which means the cam lock body is already paired to its cylinder for straightforward mounting. A revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which supports inventory flexibility when you work with multiple door and drawer thicknesses. The lock has passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, tying its performance directly to routine opening and locking in regular use.

Key Cam Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The cam lock is shipped with cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, so the core, body, and retainer arrive as a matched unit that goes directly into the prepared hole and speeds fitting on repetitive cabinet runs.
• A revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, which lets you carry one keyed system while adjusting body length to match varying material stacks or construction styles.
• The lock passed the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so every open-and-close action has been mechanically proven for repeated operation in everyday drawer and door service.
• The 90 degree cam turn gives a simple quarter-turn motion, which sets a predictable handle feel and makes it clear when the cam has fully engaged or disengaged the strike or frame.
• The design supports drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so a single cam lock family can be applied across different cabinet orientations without changing part style on the job.
• A spur washer with eyelet is used so that, when screwed into place, the spur washer prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which helps hold alignment after repeated use.

Cam Lock Mounting And Construction Fit Details

The Olympus disc tumbler cam lock supports lipped or overlay construction with a 1-1/2 inch straight cam, so the cam reaches past a projecting face to catch the frame in typical overlay cabinet work. It also supports flush construction with a 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, so the offset brings the cam to the correct plane when doors or drawers sit even with the cabinet front. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, tying part selection directly to your door and cabinet material stack. The 2 inch cylinder keyed alike 452 keeps all locks in that keying group on the same bitting, which helps in shops and projects where one key pattern is preferred.

Where This Olympus Cam Lock Fits Cabinet Work

Using The Cam Lock On Drawers And Doors

This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so one model covers typical casework fronts in commercial or residential cabinetry. The 90 degree cam turn provides a positive quarter-turn lock and unlock motion, so the cam moves cleanly between engaged and disengaged positions without over-rotation. For lipped or overlay construction, the 1-1/2 inch straight cam spans the reveal created by the overlay, so the cam can grab the cabinet frame or strike surface behind an overhanging front. In flush construction, the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam shifts the cam line, so the contact point aligns with a frame that sits in the same plane as the door or drawer front.

Details That Support Repeatable Lock Installation

The spur washer with eyelet is designed so that, when screwed into place, the spur washer prevents lock rotation and keeps the fixing nut from loosening after installation, which helps the cylinder stay oriented correctly after repeated key use. The lock is shipped with cylinder and body assembled via a patented retainer staple, so the cylinder is already secured to the housing, reducing handling and saving assembly time on multiple openings. A revolutionary cylinder plus cylinder extender allows cylinders to be swapped between different size cam lock bodies, enabling a shop to standardize on one keying group while changing only body lengths as material thicknesses change. The 2 inch cylinder keyed alike 452 keeps all locks in that keyed group on the same pattern, which simplifies key management for facilities that want a shared key across drawers and doors. Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48 to 72 hours, so projects that call for specific key codes can be supported on a defined lead time without changing the physical cam lock geometry.
