8414 chest lid lock from CompX National is a surface mounted chest and lid lock designed for cedar chest application and other lid locking requirements, so it supports projects where a hinged lid needs a simple keyed lock point. The lock installs on the surface and uses a 9/16 inch diameter hole for the cylinder, giving a clear mounting reference when laying out hole locations in wood work. The key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, which lets the user leave the lock open or secured without the key hanging in the cylinder during normal use. All locks are furnished keyed alike, so multiple lids on the same job can be operated with the same key pattern for straightforward access control. The antique brass finish provides a traditional look that coordinates with classic cedar chests and similar casework.
This lid lock is surface mounted, so the main body fastens directly onto the face of the lid or casework without mortising, which keeps installation steps straightforward on standard cabinet-grade materials. The cylinder requires a 9/16 inch diameter hole, so drilling a single properly sized round hole is the primary machining task before fastening the lock body. Because the key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, the installer can function-test the mechanism with the key during mounting, then remove the key for final presentation without leaving it in the lock. The antique brass appearance helps this lock integrate with existing decorative hinges and pulls on cedar chests, allowing the installer to add keyed security while maintaining a coordinated hardware look.
This CompX National 8414 chest lid lock is described for cedar chest application and other lid locking requirements, so it fits projects built around hinged wood lids on storage chests, trunks, or similar casework pieces. The surface mounted format allows the lock to sit on the lid or front edge where a chest builder wants a visible key cylinder, relying only on a 9/16 inch diameter hole for the cylinder to pass through the material. Because all locks of this series are furnished keyed alike, the same key pattern can be applied across multiple cedar chests in one setting, supporting consistent operation in bedrooms, living areas, or storage rooms using similar furniture-grade cases.
The specified 9/16 inch diameter hole for the cylinder defines the boring operation required before mounting, which allows a fabricator to choose a matching drill or boring bit and expect a proper cylinder fit when the lock is pulled into place. The surface mounted design means the remaining lock body registers against the work surface, which helps position the cylinder square to the face and supports consistent alignment between the lock and strike. Since the key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, the user can keep the key stored away when the chest is locked or leave the chest unlocked without a key dangling from the cylinder, reducing interference with daily lid operation. All units being furnished keyed alike helps shops and installers standardize one key profile across a series of chests, which simplifies handover when several lids on a project need to be managed by the same user group.
