Olympus Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors
Olympus disc tumbler cam lock uses a 2 inch cylinder keyed different/master keyed, so each lock has its own key while still working with a master key system on larger jobs. The lock is matte black 961-US19-MKKD, giving a consistent dark finish that blends with modern cabinet and fixture hardware schemes. This cam lock passed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test for 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal, so the cylinder and keyway are engineered for repeated daily use in commercial and shop environments. The lock comes assembled with cylinder and body connected via a patented retainer staple, so the main lock components arrive already secured together for straightforward setup into the prepared panel hole. A 90 degree cam turn provides a simple quarter-turn action that reliably shifts from locked to unlocked, matching typical user expectations for drawer and door locking.
Key Cam Lock Details That Support Real Jobs
- The lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body retained by a patented staple, so the installer positions one integrated unit without managing loose core and housing pieces during mounting.
- Passing the ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle test at 20,000 cycles including key insertion and removal means the lock mechanism is built for repeated operation in higher-use cabinets, reducing the need for early replacement.
- The 2 inch cylinder keyed different/master keyed allows individual user keys while still fitting into a master key plan, which matters on projects where selective access control must be combined with maintenance or management access.
- The matte black 961-US19 finish provides a uniform dark appearance on visible cabinet and casework faces, helping the lock blend with black pulls, hinges, and other decorative hardware on the installation.
- The 90 degree cam turn gives a clear quarter-turn motion between locked and unlocked positions, so users feel a defined stop that helps prevent over-rotation of the cam against the door or drawer strike.
- Custom keying typically ships direct from the manufacturer in 48-72 hours, which supports project timelines when specific keying patterns are required across multiple locks.
Cam Lock Installation And Panel Construction Fit
This Olympus cam lock works for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number can be applied across different cabinet layouts on the same job. It is designed for lipped or overlay construction using the 1-1/2 inch straight cam, so the installer pairs that cam when the door or drawer front overlays the cabinet frame. It also suits flush construction using the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam, so the hardware can be aligned to doors and drawers that sit level with the surrounding frame. For overlay application, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, which guides panel build-up so the key has proper reach to the cylinder.
How This Olympus Cam Lock Works In Use
Where This Disc Tumbler Cam Lock Fits Best
This Olympus disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it fits a wide range of cabinet casework in shops, offices, and storage fixtures. The lipped or overlay construction option using the 1-1/2 inch straight cam supports doors and drawer fronts that overlap their frames, keeping the cam reach suited to common face-frame or overlay panel designs. The flush construction option using the 1-1/8 inch extension, 11/32 inch offset cam sets the cam throw to reach strikes on flush-mounted doors and drawers, so the same lock body can be tailored to different cabinet builds. A 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 aligned to the key opening under repeated turning.
Details That Support Keying Flexibility And Workflow
The revolutionary cylinder and cylinder extender design allows cylinders to be easily swapped between different size cam lock bodies, so a keyed system can be reconfigured or spread across multiple cabinet thicknesses while keeping the same keying pattern. Lock comes assembled with the cylinder and body joined by the patented retainer staple, so the main unit is prepared as a single assembly that speeds layout on production runs. The 2 inch cylinder keyed different/master keyed setup provides both individual keys and master key capability, which simplifies maintenance and access management on multi-user installations. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the key can be taken out after locking or after opening, giving flexibility in how users manage key control during daily operation.
