CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock 15/16" Cylinder with 90 Degree CW Rotation, 3/4" Mounting Hole C8054-C413A-14A

CompX Cam Lock For Drawers And Doors

CompX National disc tumbler cam lock 15/16 inch cylinder with 90 degree CW rotation, 3/4 inch mounting hole C8054-C413A-14A provides a keyed locking point for drawers and either right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number can cover multiple cabinet orientations. The bright nickel finish identifies the lock body clearly at the front, which helps match other bright nickel cabinet hardware in the same run. The 15/16 inch cylinder length defines how much material stack you can pass through, which matters when planning door or drawer front thickness. The 3/4 inch mounting hole requirement tells you exactly what size hole to bore, helping avoid slop or misalignment at the face. The 90 degree clockwise rotation works with the supplied stop washer to limit movement, which keeps the cam swing consistent from job to job.

Keyed Cam Lock Details That Support Builds

• The 15/16 inch cylinder length sets the maximum combined thickness of front and frame the lock can secure, so you can match your material schedule to the cylinder dimension on cabinet runs.
• The 3/4 inch mounting hole specification defines the bore size at the door or drawer front, which helps you drill a tight, repeatable hole that properly supports the lock body without play.
• The 90 degree clockwise rotation, controlled by the supplied stop washer, limits the cam swing, so the locking bar stops predictably at quarter-turn for consistent latch engagement.
• The straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension works with lipped or overlay construction, giving you reach past the lip so the cam can engage the strike surface behind an overlay front.
• The formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset suits flush construction, moving the contact point forward so the cam meets the frame on cabinets with flush fronts.
• The key removable in both locked and unlocked positions feature allows you to withdraw the key after positioning the cam either way, which helps in applications needing unattended unlocked access.

Cam Lock Mounting And Cylinder Fit Details

The CompX National disc tumbler cam lock uses a 3/4 inch mounting hole, so boring that hole size sets the lock body correctly in wood or panel materials. The cylinder length is 15/16 inch, which defines how much combined thickness of front and frame this model is designed to span in overlay applications. For overlay work using a 3/4 inch front and 3/4 inch frame, the Web Description specifies using the NLC8053 lock with the NLC7014-2C cam instead of this C8054-C413A-14A model, which separates this lock for different material stacks. The spur washer is identified for wood, so its teeth can bite into the substrate to resist rotation as you tighten the mounting nut. The trim washer sits at the visible side, which helps finish the bore edge for a cleaner face appearance.

How This Bright Nickel Cam Lock Works In Use

Where This Cam Lock Fits On Cabinets

This cam lock is described for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, so it can serve as the primary locking point across mixed casework in the same project. In a lipped or overlay construction, the straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension reaches beyond the front to catch the frame or strike, which helps bridge the projection created by the overlay. In flush construction, the formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset shifts the contact point, which positions the cam face where a flush front meets the cabinet body. The 90 degree clockwise rotation works with these cams so the throw from unlocked to locked remains a quarter-turn, which simplifies user operation on finished installations.

Details That Support Consistent Locking Results

The key removable in both locked and unlocked positions feature means the cylinder can retain or release the key at either stop, which supports workflows where cabinets stay unlocked yet keyed control is still needed. The disc tumbler mechanism defines the internal keying style, which ties into the stock keying options KA, KD, and KDMKD so larger projects can follow a planned key control scheme. The stock keying note states that KA locks are all keyed alike to a specified key number and that the master key will not work on those locks, which matters when deciding between uniform keys and master access. KD is described as all keyed different with various lock numbers and no master key operation, which fits situations needing separation between units. KDMKD is described as all keyed different and master keyed, with the master key operating these locks, which supports tiered access in commercial or shop environments.
