CompX National Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Lock, 57/64" Bore Diameter, Keyed Alike with Dull Chrome - C8178-915-26D

CompX National Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Lock For Drawers

CompX National pin tumbler deadbolt lock is a drawer lock designed for projects that need a positive deadbolt action and consistent key control. This lock uses a 57/64 inch bore diameter for the cylinder, so it fits drawer fronts machined for that specific hole size and gives installers a clear drilling target for repeat jobs. The lock is keyed alike under the C8178-915-26D stock keying option, so multiple locks use the same key number and can be operated with a single key on that project. The key is required to engage the lock and is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, which lets users pull the key after locking or leave the drawer unlocked while still removing the key. The dull satin chrome finish matches projects that call out satin chrome hardware and keeps visual coordination straightforward.

Key Deadbolt Drawer Lock Details That Matter

• The 57/64 inch diameter hole requirement for the cylinder guides boring operations, helping installers set up stops and bits once and repeat the same hole size across multiple drawer fronts.
• The keyed alike stock keying option under C8178-915-26D keeps all locks on that key number operating with the same key, simplifying key management on banks of drawers or casework.
• The ANSI/BHMA certified Grade 2 A156.11 rating identifies this as a Grade 2 deadbolt lock, aligning it with a recognized performance standard when specifying hardware for commercial or demanding cabinetry.
• The key being removable in both locked and unlocked positions allows the user to remove the key after securing the drawer or after unlocking it, supporting controlled access while avoiding a key left hanging in the cylinder.
• The dull satin chrome finish matches satin chrome hardware specifications, helping maintain a consistent appearance on projects where finish coordination is part of the hardware schedule.

Deadbolt Drawer Lock Fit And Boring Details

This CompX National deadbolt lock is built around a 57/64 inch bore diameter, so layout centers and drilling setups can be based on that dimension across multiple drawers. Because the cylinder depends on that specific hole size, installers can standardize jigs and boring equipment for repeat runs of casework or drawer banks. The keyed alike stock keying under the C8178-915-26D part number means all locks in that group share one key number, which simplifies labeling and organizing keys during installation and punch-out. With the key required to engage the lock and removable in both locked and unlocked positions, the operating sequence stays the same from one drawer to the next, which is useful when training end users.

Using This Satin Chrome Deadbolt Lock On Projects

Where This Deadbolt Drawer Lock Is Typically Applied

This CompX National pin tumbler deadbolt lock is suited to drawer applications where a deadbolt action is preferred over a simple latch and where a 57/64 inch cylinder bore can be provided in the front. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 A156.11 certification positions it for projects that call out Grade 2 deadbolt hardware in the submittals, such as commercial or institutional casework that still uses drawer locks in wood or similar materials. The dull satin chrome finish works on projects that specify satin chrome across visible hardware, so this lock can coordinate with hinges, pulls, and other components specified in the same finish family.

How The Lock Design Supports Consistent Results

The 57/64 inch bore requirement gives fabricators a single target for boring the lock cylinder, which simplifies jig design and lets shops keep one dedicated bit and setup for this lock style. Because the stock keying for C8178-915-26D is keyed alike, multiple locks can be ordered under that option and will operate from the same key number, reducing the number of key changes a facility has to track for that run of drawers. The key-operated deadbolt requires a key to engage the lock and allows key removal whether the lock is in the locked or unlocked position, which keeps the operating feel identical across all drawers that use this model. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 A156.11 certification ties the lock to a defined performance category, so specifiers can match it to projects that call out Grade 2 deadbolt locks in the hardware schedule.
