Description
CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets
CompX National disc tumbler cam lock gives drawers and doors keyed security using a 1-3/4 inch cylinder and cam action. The 1-3/4 inch cylinder length supports installations where the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed. This version uses a flat black finish that helps the lock blend into darker cabinet and fixture designs. The lock design serves drawers and both right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number can cover multiple orientations on a job. Key removable operation in both locked and unlocked positions allows the key to be taken out after locking or after unlocking, which supports common cabinet and fixture usage patterns.
Disc Tumbler Cam Lock Details That Support Work
- Two stop washers allow the cam to turn either 90 or 180 degrees, giving flexibility to match the required throw and rotation for different cabinet layouts.
- Cams are provided for lipped or overlay construction using a straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension, so overlay applications can be addressed with the specified reach.
- Cams are also provided for flush construction using a formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset, matching common flush door or drawer front conditions.
- For overlay applications, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length, which helps set layout limits when working with thicker materials.
- Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions lets the user remove the key after either action, which supports varied access control routines at the cabinet.
Cam Lock Installation And Application Setup
The disc tumbler cam lock uses a cylinder with 90 and 180 degree clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, giving installers flexibility when orienting the cam relative to the strike or frame. Two stop washers provided with the lock control whether the cam turn is 90 or 180 degrees, so the same lock body can be adapted to different swing requirements. For wood applications, a spur washer is provided, helping the lock bite into the panel during mounting. The combination of trim washer, spur washer for wood, and mounting nut supports a stable installation in typical cabinet and fixture materials.
Using This Flat Black Cam Lock In Projects
Where This C8060-C390A-Y21 Cam Lock Fits
This CompX National disc tumbler cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it fits common cabinet, casework, and fixture applications. The cams provided cover lipped or overlay construction with a straight cam using a 1-1/2 inch extension, aligning with overlay fronts that need extra reach to engage behind a frame. For flush construction, the formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset gives a geometry suited to fronts that sit even with the frame. For overlay application, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length listed, which sets a clear limit when working with layered materials. The lock operates with 90 and 180 degree clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, giving flexibility for doors or drawers that open in different directions.
How Rotation, Keying, And Parts Help Workflow
The cam lock design offers key removable performance in both locked and unlocked positions, so a user can lock, remove the key, then later unlock and again remove the key without changing hardware. Two stop washers allow the cam to turn either 90 or 180 degrees, which lets installers choose a shorter or longer throw path depending on strike location. Supplied trim washer, spur washer for wood, mounting nut, two cams, and two stop washers provide the basic components needed to mount the cylinder and set the cam throw for lipped/overlay or flush construction. Stock keying is identified with KA meaning all keyed alike to the key number specified and master key will not work on these locks, or KD meaning all keyed different with various lock numbers, so keying strategy can be matched to project requirements. The SAP description references CAM LOCK, BLACK, 8060KA-390, tying this lock to a specific keyed alike scheme in stocking programs.
