CompX National disc tumbler deadbolt lock is a drawer lock designed to secure cabinet and furniture drawers using a disc tumbler deadbolt mechanism, which provides a positive locking action that holds the drawer closed against unauthorized opening. The lock is identified as a drawer lock in bright nickel, so it functions as both a security component and a matching hardware element where a bright metallic appearance is desired on visible drawer fronts. The lock uses a key-operated cylinder, so the user engages and releases the deadbolt with a key instead of a thumbturn, which suits applications where controlled key access is required. This product is part of the deadbolt locks class, so it is intended to provide a bolt-style engagement rather than a spring latch, which matters where a firm, non-spring action is needed to keep a drawer secure in normal woodworking environments.
This drawer lock requires a 7/8 inch diameter hole for the cylinder, so drilling that exact diameter in the drawer front sets the cylinder correctly and helps the trim and keyway sit square in the opening. The stated 1-1/2 inch height with 7/16 wide body gives a compact lock case profile, so the lock fits typical drawer construction without needing deep cutouts in the drawer sides. Because the product is specified as a drawer lock, the dimensions are oriented to edge-mounting in drawer applications, which simplifies layout when positioning the lock relative to the drawer front edge and mating strike or frame. Using the manufacturer part number C8705-C415A-14A on plans or purchase lists ties the installation layout directly to this specific size and configuration.
This drawer lock in bright nickel is positioned for cabinet and furniture drawer applications where a discrete deadbolt-style lock is desired on the drawer front. The bright nickel finish coordinates with bright nickel cabinetry hardware, so it suits projects where visible metal components around the key cylinder should match adjacent knobs, pulls, or hinges. The lock is part of the CompX National deadbolt locks class, so it aligns with woodworking installations that rely on bolt-style drawer security rather than simple catches. Because it is designated a drawer lock, the geometry and operation are aimed at horizontal drawer faces, which works well for casework, storage cabinets, and similar furniture-grade installations that demand key-controlled access.
The lock uses a disc tumbler deadbolt mechanism, so the deadbolt extends and retracts by aligning internal tumblers with the key cut, which provides a defined locked position that resists casual opening of the drawer. The cylinder is operated by a key that is required to engage the lock, so every lock and unlock cycle depends on the proper key, which supports controlled key management in shops or offices. The C415A keyed alike designation identifies this configuration as keyed alike to a specific key number, so multiple locks with the same key code can be opened with one key in a project that uses matching locks. The manufacturer defines KA as all keyed alike to the key number specified with no master key function, so in that scheme, every lock shares a key but is isolated from master key systems. The KD option is defined as all keyed different with various lock numbers and no master key function, so each drawer lock in that configuration has its own unique key pattern for separate access. The KDMKD configuration is defined as all keyed different and master keyed, so each individual lock has a unique operating key while a master key can operate all locks in the group, which is useful where tiered access is needed. Other key changes are available from National Lock via special order, so larger woodworking projects can specify alternative keying patterns that align with existing key systems or expanded access plans.
