Description
CompX National Disc Tumbler Cam Lock For Cabinets
CompX National disc tumbler cam lock 15/16 inch cylinder with 90 degree CW rotation, 3/4 inch mounting hole C8054-C415A-14A provides a keyed locking point using a 15/16 inch cylinder, giving drawers and cabinet doors a compact, controlled security point. The 3/4 inch mounting hole specification ties directly to standard panel prep, so shop drilling patterns stay consistent across similar cabinet runs. A 90 degree clockwise rotation stop set by the supplied stop washer defines the cam travel, which helps keep latch engagement predictable from job to job. Use on drawers plus right-hand or left-hand doors, so one lock family can cover multiple orientations in a layout. Cams sized for lipped or overlay construction and flush construction let the same core lock body adapt to different cabinet build styles.
Key Cam Lock Details That Support Cabinet Work
- Bright nickel cam lock finish aligns with common decorative hardware finishes, so visible lock faces match surrounding pulls and hinges in typical cabinet installations.
- Disc tumbler cam lock design uses a keyed cylinder, providing a defined locked position that supports basic security needs on drawers and doors across a project.
- 90 degree CW rotation controlled by the stop washer limits cam travel, which helps keep strike engagement consistent and reduces rework due to over-rotation.
- Straight cam with 1-1/2 inch extension is suited to lipped or overlay construction, helping the cam reach behind the frame where face fronts project past the cabinet box.
- Formed cam with 1-1/8 inch extension and 11/32 inch offset is suited to flush construction, positioning the cam in line with the strike when doors or fronts sit level with the cabinet face.
Cam Lock Mounting And Cylinder Fit Details
This bright nickel cam lock uses a 3/4 inch mounting hole, so casework can be bored with a single, repeatable diameter wherever this model is specified. The cylinder length of 15/16 inch sets the working range for front and frame thickness in overlay applications, keeping the threaded body properly engaged through the material stack. For overlay application, the combined thickness of front and frame cannot exceed the listed cylinder length, which keeps the mounting nut able to tighten fully. A spur washer is specified for wood use, helping resist lock body rotation in softer substrates during frequent operation. The trim washer provides a finished bearing surface at the face, so the cylinder seats cleanly against the door or drawer front.
How This Bright Nickel Cam Lock Works In Use
Where The C8054-C415A-14A Cam Lock Is Applied
This cam lock is specified for drawers plus right-hand or left-hand doors, so the same core component can be used across a mixed cabinet bank without changing prep. Straight and formed cams tailored to lipped or overlay construction and to flush construction give flexibility in face treatment, allowing the lock to line up with strikes in both projected and flush front designs. In overlay construction, the cylinder length limit on combined front and frame thickness keeps the lock body correctly positioned through the front, which helps the cam clear the frame behind the overlay. The bright nickel description ties the visible cylinder face into typical bright nickel hardware suites, so the lock face can sit in line with other bright nickel components on the same installation.
Details That Support Repeatable Locking Performance
The 90 degree clockwise rotation defined by the stop washer means the cam travels through a known arc, which supports consistent locked and unlocked positions relative to strikes and cutouts. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions lets the installer or user remove the key after setting either state, which suits applications where keyed control is needed without leaving the key in place during regular operation. The specified stock keying schemes - KA, KD, and KDMKD - describe how groups of locks relate: KA locks share a key number without master key function, KD locks are all keyed different without master function, and KDMKD locks are all keyed different but respond to a master key. That structure lets projects be laid out with shared keys, individual keys, or master-keyed setups to match access control plans. REMOVACORE versions are available, so cores can be changed while retaining the base installation, which helps when keying plans change over time while casework remains in service.
Common Questions About This Cam Lock Model
What cylinder length and mounting hole does this cam lock use?
The C8054-C415A-14A cam lock uses a 15/16 inch cylinder with a 3/4 inch mounting hole, which ties directly to standard boring operations on many cabinet and drawer fronts.
How far does the straight cam reach on overlay construction?
The straight cam has a 1-1/2 inch extension, so on lipped or overlay construction it can reach behind the cabinet frame to engage a catch or strike surface effectively.
How does the formed cam work on flush cabinet fronts?
The formed cam has a 1-1/8 inch extension with an 11/32 inch offset, positioning the cam so it aligns with strikes on flush construction where fronts sit even with the cabinet face.
What does 90 degree clockwise rotation mean in practice?
The 90 degree clockwise rotation sets a fixed quarter-turn movement for the cam, so locked and unlocked positions remain consistent relative to the strike cutout.
Can this cam lock be used on both drawers and doors?
This cam lock is specified for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors, allowing a single lock type across different cabinet components.
What do KA, KD, and KDMKD keying options indicate?
KA locks are keyed alike without master key function, KD locks are all keyed different without master function, and KDMKD locks are keyed different while also responding to a master key.
