CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock with 1-7/16" Cylinder, 3/4" Mounting Hole Bright Nickel C8075-C415A-14A

CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets

CompX National disc tumbler cam lock with 1-7/16 inch cylinder, 3/4 inch mounting hole, bright nickel C8075-C415A-14A secures drawers and right-hand or left-hand cabinet doors, so one lock model can serve multiple common casework layouts in a shop or jobsite run. The bright nickel finish provides a clean, neutral appearance that works across typical commercial and residential cabinet styles without drawing attention to the hardware. The 1-7/16 inch cylinder length supports installations where the combined thickness of front and frame stays within that length, which helps match lock depth to standard cabinet constructions. The 3/4 inch mounting hole requirement fits typical boring operations for cam locks, keeping drilling simple during production or retrofit work.

Key Working Details Of This Cam Lock

• The lock is designed for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so the same part can be used across mixed openings in a bank of cabinets, streamlining hardware planning.
• Cams are provided for lipped or overlay construction using a straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension, which lets the cam reach behind an overlay front in typical cabinet builds.
• Cams are also provided for flush construction using a formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset, so the cam can grab behind a flush panel without extra spacers.
• Two stop washers allow the cam to turn either 90 degrees or 180 degrees based on application, letting the installer set quarter-turn or half-turn operation to match user expectations.
• Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions allows the operator to take the key out after locking or leaving the lock open, which helps in applications where doors stay open during use.

Cam Lock Fit, Cylinder Length, And Mounting Details

The 1-7/16 inch cylinder works where the combined thickness of front and frame does not exceed that length, aligning the cam throw with the strike area without binding. The 3/4 inch mounting hole matches standard casework boring diameters for many cam locks, so existing jigs or line-boring setups can be used. The trim washer and spur washer for wood allow the cylinder to seat properly against the face while the spur washer bites into wood, resisting rotation during use. The mounting nut secures the cylinder from the rear, which holds the lock body rigid so the cam can operate smoothly over time.

Using This Bright Nickel Cam Lock In Practice

Where This C8075-C415A-14A Cam Lock Works Best

This cam lock is described for drawers and right-hand or left-hand doors, so it suits typical cabinet, casework, or millwork where swing direction varies across a run. The cams covered in the description serve both lipped or overlay construction with the straight cam and flush construction with the formed cam, which adapts the same lock body to different door or drawer front styles. For overlay applications, the requirement that the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the cylinder length guides where this lock is appropriate, keeping the cam in reach of the catch. The mention of accommodating an overlay construction using a 3/4 inch front and a 3/4 inch frame by ordering the NLC8073 lock and the NLC7014-2C cam highlights how this specific model fits overlay conditions where material buildup is less than that combined thickness.

Details That Support Reliable Operation And Keying

The two stop washers that allow both 90 degree and 180 degree cam turns let the installer tailor the handle feel, such as short quarter-turn action for frequent access or longer half-turn action where added travel is preferred. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the lock can function in setups where the door stays open during active work, but still be secured when closed without changing the hardware. Unassembled REMOVACORE versions of this lock are available, which provides a removable core option where cylinder changes are part of the security plan. Stock keying options include KA, where all keyed alike locks match a specified key number and are not operated by a master key, which helps when multiple openings should share a single key. Stock keying options also include KD, where all keyed different locks use various lock numbers, which separates access across different cabinets or locations.
