N Series Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Drawer Lock, Flat Black, Keyed to KA101 Key, 15/16" Cylinder Length
Description
N Series Deadbolt Drawer Lock For Secure Use
N Series pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock from Olympus Lock, Inc. uses a pin tumbler deadbolt design that provides positive bolt engagement, which matters when drawers need a defined locked position in regular shop or cabinet use. The lock is keyed to KA101, so multiple N Series locks can share the same key system, which simplifies key management across several drawers or matching hardware runs. A 15/16 inch cylinder length supports installations designed around that specific dimension, helping installers align the lock body with drawer front thicknesses planned for this format. The flat black finish presents a dark, uniform appearance, which helps the lock blend into flat black or dark drawer fronts in finished projects. The lock belongs to the N Series, so it can be keyed together with other N Series locks, supporting keyed-alike projects where one key operates a group of locking points.
Keyed-To-KA101 Features That Support Workflow
- The lock can be keyed together with other N Series locks, which allows a shared KA101 key across multiple lock points and reduces the number of keys carried on site.
- A set screw cylinder release mechanism makes the lock easily rekeyable, so cylinders can be changed to different keys without replacing the entire lock body.
- Key removable in locked or unlocked position allows the key to be withdrawn with the bolt thrown or retracted, which supports different key control approaches in use.
- Standard function locks are non-handed, so the same lock can be fitted to left- or right-hand drawer layouts, reducing part variation across a job.
- The solid brass cylinder provides a metal working core for the key and tumblers, which supports consistent cylinder function over repeated locking cycles.
Drawer Lock Installation And Cylinder Fit Details
The 15/16 inch cylinder length defines how this Olympus N Series deadbolt drawer lock sits in the drawer front, controlling where the face of the cylinder meets the surface during installation. This fixed length lets installers plan boring depth and backset around a known dimension, which helps keep cylinder faces flush across a bank of drawers. The non-handed standard function means the same lock model can be oriented as needed in the drawer construction, which helps during layout when drawers are mirrored or split across a run. The set screw cylinder release mechanism provides a direct method for releasing the cylinder from the housing, so rekeying operations focus on the cylinder rather than removing the overall lock from the woodwork.
Using This Olympus N Series Deadbolt In Projects
Where This Deadbolt Drawer Lock Fits Best
This N Series pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock is part of the deadbolt locks class, which places it in applications where a projecting bolt is preferred for securing drawers. The cylinder length of 15/16 inch suits drawer fronts designed around that depth, helping builders maintain consistent hardware positioning on cabinetry that follows this sizing. Being keyed to KA101 positions this lock in keyed-alike systems that use the KA101 key pattern, so multiple N Series units across a built-in or bank of cabinets can follow the same code. The flat black finish pairs with flat black design themes or contrasting light fronts, allowing the hardware to visually coordinate with other flat black elements used on the project.
Why Rekeyable N Series Details Reduce Rework
The easily rekeyable design, using a set screw cylinder release mechanism, allows the cylinder to be changed while leaving the main lock installed in the wood, which can reduce carpentry touch-ups once the casework is complete. Because this deadbolt can be keyed together with other N Series locks, one KA101 key code can be extended across additional locking points as layouts expand, minimizing changes to the installed hardware. The option for key removable in locked or unlocked position provides flexibility in how key control is handled, so workflows can either keep keys out of the cylinder during operation or leave them available while drawers are accessed. Standard function locks being non-handed streamlines replacement work, since the same Olympus lock part number 200-US1978-101 applies on either side of a cabinet run without needing orientation-specific versions. The solid brass cylinder gives a consistent base material for the pin tumbler mechanism, which supports repeatable key turning feel across multiple installations based on the same N Series platform.
