CompX Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors

CompX National disc tumbler cam lock with 1-3/16 cylinder gives you a compact locking solution that fits typical cabinet fronts while providing enough cylinder length for many drawer and door constructions. The bright brass finish creates a consistent look with brass hardware across casework runs. This lock is designed for drawers as well as right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number serves multiple cabinet layouts on the same job. It offers 90 and 180 degree clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, giving flexibility to position the cam where it clears frames, partitions, or nearby hardware. The cylinder is part of the CompX National family, aligning with common keying options used in woodworking and fixture projects. Stock keying options let you select keyed alike or keyed different setups to suit how you want to group access on a project.

Key Cam Lock Details That Support Real Jobs

• The 1-3/16 inch cylinder length provides reach through typical cabinet fronts, supporting standard material stacks in many woodworking applications where a short barrel would not project far enough.
• Bright brass finish matches brass-toned cabinet hardware, helping maintain a coordinated appearance on visible drawer and door fronts in residential or commercial installations.
• Designed for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, one lock style can be used across mixed cabinet conditions, simplifying ordering and keeping spares consistent on the truck.
• Cams are provided for lipped or overlay construction and for flush construction, so the same lock body can adapt to different cabinet builds without changing the core part.
• The straight cam has a 1-1/2 inch extension, giving extra reach behind lipped or overlay fronts where the locking bar must clear the lip and engage the cabinet side or frame.
• The formed cam has a 1-1/8 inch extension with 11/32 inch offset, stepping the locking point closer or farther as needed to catch the strike surface on flush fronts.
• Stop washers allow either 90 or 180 degree cam turns, letting you set shorter strokes where space is tight or longer travel where a wide throw is useful.
• Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions supports workflows where users need to leave the cylinder without the key hanging while cabinet doors stay open or closed.

Cam Lock Fit, Cylinder Length, And Rotation Setup

The 1-3/16 inch cylinder length on this cam lock supports front-and-frame thickness combinations up to that length for overlay applications, keeping the threaded section long enough to secure through stacked materials. For overlay constructions using a 3/4 inch front and 3/4 inch frame, the product information specifies ordering the NLC8073 lock with the NLC7014-2C cam to accommodate that thicker build, which clarifies how this C8073-C415A-3 version is sized within the series. Two stop washers are provided so you can configure the cam for either 90 or 180 degree rotation in clockwise or counterclockwise directions, which helps when aligning the cam throw to cabinet clearances or user preference. This rotation flexibility allows the same lock body to serve multiple orientations in casework layouts.

Using This Cam Lock Across Cabinet Construction Styles

Where This Cam Lock Works In Cabinet Builds

This CompX National cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it can be used in vertical or horizontal orientations across a run of cabinets. For lipped or overlay construction, the straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension lets the cam reach past the lip to catch the cabinet side or frame, which is important where the front overhang would otherwise block a shorter cam. For flush construction, the formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset steps the contact point to align with a strike surface sitting farther inboard, which helps achieve reliable locking on flat-front casework. The 1-3/16 inch cylinder length ties these applications together, giving a consistent barrel dimension while the cams handle the different geometries of lipped and flush designs.

Details That Support Keying, Rotation, And Daily Use

This disc tumbler cam lock supports 90 and 180 degree rotation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions through the supplied stop washers, so you can align the cam throw with the way the door or drawer swings and with nearby obstructions inside the cabinet. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the user can remove the key while leaving the cabinet open or closed, which is practical in shop, office, or retail environments where doors are often left in a chosen state. Stock keying is defined so KA means all keyed alike to a specified key number, with a master key not operating those locks, which is useful where you want a group of cabinets sharing one key but isolated from a master system. KD means all keyed different with various lock numbers, supporting installations where each location requires its own key pattern for added separation. These keying definitions help match the lock choice to the access control plan on a project without changing the physical form factor.
