CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock, 1-3/4" Cylinder with 90 and 180 Degree CW and CCW Rotation, Bright Nickel C8060-C413A-14A
Description
CompX National Disc Cam Lock For Cabinets
CompX National disc tumbler cam lock gives you a 1-3/4 inch cylinder with 90 and 180 degree clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, so you can match the lock throw to the way your cabinet or drawer actually operates. The bright nickel finish provides a clean, professional look that blends easily with typical cabinet and fixture hardware. This lock is designed for drawers and for either right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number can cover multiple cabinet layouts in the same job. Cams for both lipped or overlay construction and flush construction are provided, giving you a choice between a straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension and a formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset. Stop washers are provided for both 90 or 180 degree cam turns, so you can set the lock stroke to suit the required travel of the latch point.
Key Functional Details For Shop Use
- The 1-3/4 inch cylinder length supports installations where the front and frame thickness must stay within that length, which helps when planning door and drawer build-ups around the lock.
- Cams for lipped or overlay construction use a straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension, allowing the cam to reach behind an overlay front while still clearing the edge reliably.
- Cams for flush construction use a formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset, which steps the cam in toward the case to catch a strike point on a flush front.
- Stop washers set either 90 or 180 degree cam turns, so you can control whether the key needs a quarter-turn or half-turn to lock or unlock, matching user preference and space limits.
- Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions allows the user to leave the cylinder in either state without the key hanging, which can streamline daily access routines.
Practical Mounting And Fit Considerations
The 1-3/4 inch cylinder length means the combined thickness of the overlay front and frame cannot exceed that cylinder length, so face materials and build-ups are selected to stay within that dimension. For overlay applications using a 3/4 inch front and a 3/4 inch frame, this specific lock is not used with the NLC7014-2C cam, because that combination is identified with the NLC8073 lock, which keeps this model focused on thinner combined fronts and frames. The spur washer is identified for wood applications, providing a biting surface into the wood to resist rotation of the cylinder during use. The mounting nut secures the cylinder in the prepared hole, giving a fixed reference for the cams to swing reliably.
Where This Cam Lock Fits Cabinet Work
Use On Drawers And Swing Cabinet Doors
This CompX National cam lock is called out for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it can secure both sliding and swinging cabinet access points in one hardware family. The cams are identified for lipped or overlay construction and for flush construction, which lets you match the cam style to face-frame overlays or slab fronts. The straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension can reach behind an overlaid front, helping the cam catch a frame or strike rail. The formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset steps into position for flush doors or drawers, keeping the contact point close to the case without binding.
Rotation Options For Controlled Lock Operation
The disc tumbler design with 90 and 180 degree clockwise and counterclockwise rotation gives flexibility in how the key turns relative to the cabinet layout. Stop washers are provided for both 90 or 180 degree cam turns, so you can select a quarter-turn motion for quick access or a half-turn where more travel is needed at the latch point. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the user can remove the key after locking or after unlocking, which can simplify key handling where access is frequent. Stock keying can be specified as KA (all keyed alike to the key number specified, where the master key will not work) or KD (all keyed different with various lock numbers), allowing locks to be set up either for shared access or individualized security. The Unassembled REMOVACORE versions referenced for this lock family indicate that a removable core approach is available in this series, supporting core changes without replacing the entire body.
