700 Schlage C Keyway Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Drawer Lock, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Keyed to Alike #101, Cylinder Length 1-1/8"

Schlage C Keyway Deadbolt Drawer Lock For Cabinets

Schlage C keyway deadbolt drawer lock gives you a pin tumbler drawer lock built around a familiar Schlage C key system, so it ties into Schlage keyed hardware where that keyway is already in use. The Olympus Lock, Inc. 700 series identity tells you this is designed as a deadbolt drawer lock rather than a spring latch, which matters when you need a positive bolt rather than a push-to-close action. The 1-1/8 inch cylinder length is suited to typical drawer front thicknesses in many cabinet builds, helping the cylinder reach through the front while keeping the body behind the panel. The keyed alike KA101 detail means multiple locks using this code operate from the same key, which simplifies key management on banks of drawers. The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish provides a dark, traditional appearance that coordinates with other 10B-finished cabinet and door hardware.

Functional Details That Support Drawer Security

• The Schlage C keyway format provides a widely used key profile, which matters when you want key control that matches other Schlage C keyed openings in the same facility or project.
• The pin tumbler deadbolt design delivers a true bolt action, giving a solid locking engagement for drawers where you do not want the bolt to retract unless the correct key is turned.
• The keyed alike KA101 configuration allows multiple Olympus 700 Schlage C keyway locks to work from one key, reducing the number of keys in use across a cabinet run or work area.
• The oil rubbed bronze 10B finish offers a dark, low-sheen appearance, helping the lock blend with other 10B decorative hardware on cabinets while maintaining a consistent project look.
• The non-handed standard function means the same lock body can be used on left or right-hand drawer layouts, simplifying planning and reducing the need for separate hand-specific part numbers.

Installation And Cylinder Length Fit Considerations

The 1-1/8 inch barrel length cylinder is designed for drawer fronts where that cylinder length allows the plug and trim to sit properly on the face while the body sits behind, which supports clean installation on many cabinet constructions. The body is zinc die cast, giving you a lock case material that machines consistently for the mounting prep and supports the internal mechanism. The cylinder is solid brass, which provides a stable material for the pin tumbler chambers and keyway, supporting smooth key operation over time. The set screw cylinder release mechanism allows the cylinder to be removed for re-keying, which is useful when keying plans change or when matching additional Schlage C key systems on site.

How This Olympus Schlage C Drawer Lock Works

Where The 700 Schlage C Keyway Lock Is Used

This 700 Schlage C keyway pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock from Olympus Lock, Inc. is used on drawers where a deadbolt-style movement is preferred over a spring latch, giving a positive throw into a strike. Its classification under locks and latches as a deadbolt lock positions it for cabinet and drawer applications that need a defined locked and unlocked position rather than light-duty closure. The ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirement the lock passed indicates it is tested under that cabinet lock standard, which matters in commercial or higher-use environments. The lock is keyed to the Schlage C keyway, aligning it with other Schlage C key-in-knob style cylinders that may already be installed on the same project or property.

Details That Support Re-Keying And Key Control

The Schlage C keyway design allows this drawer lock to be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks, which supports a unified key system where one key pattern can run both cabinet locks and other Schlage C key cylinder devices. The set screw cylinder release mechanism makes the cylinder easily re-keyable, so keying changes can be carried out by swapping or servicing the solid brass cylinder without changing the entire lock body. The lock will accept other manufacturer Schlage compatible key-in-knob cylinders, which provides flexibility when aligning with an existing Schlage-based system using those cylinders. Key removable in the locked or unlocked position lets the user take the key out after either securing or opening the drawer, fitting workflows where keys travel with staff between openings. The combination of a zinc die cast body and solid brass cylinder balances case strength with a precise keyway, supporting repeated cycles in typical cabinet use.
