CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock with 1-7/16" Cylinder, 3/4" Mounting Hole Bright Nickel C8075-C346A-14A

CompX Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors

CompX National disc tumbler cam lock with 1-7-16 cylinder, 3-4 inch mounting hole bright nickel C8075-C346A-14A is a disc tumbler cam lock designed for typical cabinet and casework locations, so it secures common storage points with a familiar footprint. The 1-7-16 inch cylinder length provides reach through typical front thicknesses, which lets the lock engage properly without crowding hardware on the inside of the cabinet. The 3-4 inch mounting hole specification defines the bore size, so drilling or boring operations can be set up accurately on the bench. A bright nickel finish identifies the lock visually and matches many bright nickel hardware lines, which keeps the hardware appearance consistent across a project. The manufacturer part number C8075-C346A-14A ties this lock to CompX National specifications, which helps match future replacements or coordinate keying plans across jobs.

Cam Lock Details That Support Cabinet Work

• Each lock is supplied with two stop washers that allow the cam to turn either 90 or 180 degrees, so the installer can match the rotation to the door or drawer swing and the preferred locked position.
• The lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it can be used across different cabinet layouts without changing the basic boring pattern.
• Cams are supplied for lipped or overlay construction with a straight cam and 1-1-2 inch extension, so the cam can reach past a lip or overlay to catch the strike area reliably.
• Cams are supplied for flush construction with a formed cam, 1-1-8 inch extension, and 11-32 inch offset, so the cam can align with a flush frame while still engaging the cabinet side or strike.
• Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions allows the user to remove the key after locking or during operation, which can match site key control preferences on cabinets and fixtures.

Bright Nickel Cam Lock Mounting And Fit Details

This cam lock uses a 3-4 inch mounting hole, so the same bore size can be repeated consistently on jigs or production runs. The 1-7-16 inch cylinder length sets the available stack-up for fronts and frames, which helps the installer match the lock to jobs where the combined material in an overlay application must stay within that cylinder length. The cam options are specified for lipped or overlay and for flush construction, so the same lock body can be matched with the appropriate cam style during layout. A trim washer and spur washer for wood are specified, so the escutcheon sits cleanly on the face while the spur washer helps resist rotation in wooden panels.

Using This Cam Lock In Cabinet And Casework

Where This Cam Lock Fits In Cabinets

This cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it suits typical base cabinets, wall cabinets, and storage cases where swing direction varies. The 3-4 inch mounting hole requirement gives a clear drilling dimension, which helps when setting up line boring or drill press fixtures for repeat installations. For overlay or lipped construction, the straight cam with 1-1-2 inch extension is provided to reach behind the front and engage a frame or strike area, so the locking point stays solid even when the front projects. For flush construction, the formed cam with 1-1-8 inch extension and 11-32 inch offset aligns the cam with a flush frame surface, so the cam can catch reliably without bending or improvising hardware in the field.

Details That Help Repeatable Lock Installations

The disc tumbler design defines the internal locking mechanism, which keeps the cam action compatible with standard CompX National keying practices across multiple cabinets. Stock keying options described as KA for all keyed alike to a specified key number or KD for all keyed different with various lock numbers allow the installer or planner to match a project keying scheme to site requirements without changing the physical lock footprint. Stop washers that permit either 90 or 180 degree cam rotation provide two clear operating patterns, so the installer can position the cam to lock on a vertical or horizontal strike, reducing rework if the door or drawer configuration changes. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the user can either leave the key out after securing the cabinet or operate with the key removed during normal access, which supports different access routines in workshops, offices, or retail fixtures. The bright nickel finish keeps the visible cylinder consistent with bright nickel cabinet hardware, so finished installations present a unified appearance on doors and drawers.
