Olympus Lock, Inc Offset Cam 2-1/4" Length - 30597D

Olympus Lock 30597D Combination Cam Lock Use

Olympus Lock 30597D is a 2-1/4 inch length offset cam designed as part of the Combi-Cam Ultra 3-dial rectangular combination cam and locker lock system, so it handles locking on cabinets, lockers, doors, or drawers using a keyed-override combination lock body. The cam is specified with a 2 offset, which positions the locking throw relative to the lock body to match the intended strike point, helping installers hit the latch point without shimming or reworking the door or drawer edge. Being purpose-built for the Combi-Cam Ultra system, this cam translates dial movement from the 3-dial lock into a positive mechanical lock at the panel edge, which matters when repeatable alignment and secure closing are required on locker and cabinet runs.

Key Combination Lock Cam Features For Lockers

• The Combi-Cam Ultra 3-dial rectangular combination design provides up to 1,000 possible combinations, which allows facilities to assign unique codes for lockers or cabinets and support basic security expectations in shared environments.
• The lock system offers key override capability, so a keyed operator can open locks even when the 3-dial combination is unknown, which is valuable for maintenance access and turnover of lockers or storage compartments.
• Code retrieval capability in the Combi-Cam Ultra design allows the existing combination to be recovered, which reduces lock replacement and keeps existing hardware in service when users forget their codes.
• The Product Class of Magnetic Key and Keyless Locks places this cam in a keyless access workflow, so users rely on the 3-dial combination instead of traditional keys, reducing key management work for the installer or facility.
• The design is intended for locker applications, which means the cam geometry and lock function are aimed at typical locker doors and frames, supporting efficient layout on locker banks in schools, gyms, or staff areas.
• The all-metal construction delivers a solid body and cam interface, which supports repeated operation on high-use lockers or cabinets where plastic components could affect long-term feel.

Mounting And Alignment For Cam And Lock Body

The Combi-Cam Ultra system with the Olympus Lock 30597D cam can be mounted vertically for doors or horizontally for drawers, so the same lock approach works across different cabinet and locker layouts without changing basic tooling. Vertical mounting on doors lines the 2-1/4 inch offset cam up with side jambs or vertical strikes, which helps maintain a consistent reveal when doors close. Horizontal mounting on drawers positions the cam to catch a fixed strike or frame rail behind the drawer front, supporting secure retention when the drawer is closed under load. The specified 2 offset on the cam defines how far the cam surface sits from the lock centerline, giving installers a predictable dimension when boring lock holes and locating strikes.

Using This Combination Cam In Real Projects

Where This Combi-Cam Ultra Cam Lock Fits

The Olympus Lock, Inc. 2-1/4 inch length cam works within the Combi-Cam Ultra 3-dial rectangular combination lock system that is ideal for locker applications, so it suits school, gym, or staff lockers where repeated daily use is expected. Because the system can be mounted vertically for doors, the cam serves steel or wood locker doors that swing on hinges and need a predictable throw to meet a frame or jamb. When mounted horizontally for drawers, the same lock and cam arrangement supports storage drawers in workspaces or cabinets, extending combination access beyond traditional lockers. The Magnetic Key and Keyless Locks classification means users operate the 3-dial lock without a standard key, which streamlines user access on large installations where many people cycle through storage positions.

Why These Combination And Cam Details Matter

The Combi-Cam Ultra 3-dial configuration with up to 1,000 possible combinations gives each locker or cabinet a distinct code, reducing code overlap in large banks and supporting organized assignment of storage positions. Key override capability means facility managers retain mechanical control using the override key, so they can open units during user changes, lost-code events, or security checks without changing hardware. Code retrieval capability supports recovery of forgotten combinations, keeping the existing Olympus Lock 30597D cam and lock body in service rather than shifting to new locks when users misplace codes. The all-metal construction of the lock components provides a robust feel at the dial and cam interface, which is important when lockers or drawers are opened and closed many times per day. The 2-1/4 inch length cam with 2 offset defines the reach and set-back from the lock centerline, so installers have reliable reference dimensions for placing lock bores and strikes in door or drawer designs.
