Schlage C Keyway Deadbolt Drawer Lock For Secure Drawers

Schlage C keyway deadbolt drawer lock 700S-10B138-OBIT from Olympus Lock, Inc. provides a pin tumbler deadbolt design that extends a solid locking bolt into a strike, which helps resist forced opening on drawer applications. The 1-3/8 inch cylinder length positions the keyway where longer barrels are needed, which supports layouts with thicker drawer fronts or applied faces. A Schlage C keyway allows this lock to be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks, so multiple drawer and cabinet locations can be operated by the same key system. The product is keyed to an O-Bit key, giving a defined keying arrangement for keyed-alike or master-keyed setups where that key is in use. As part of the Olympus 700 series, this unit fits into projects calling for a pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock with a Schlage C compatible interface.

Deadbolt Drawer Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The pin tumbler deadbolt construction creates a positive bolt throw into the bar strike, which increases resistance to prying on drawers used for tools, parts, or documents in regular operation.
• A Schlage C keyway that can be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks lets one key operate several lock points, which simplifies key management on multi-drawer or mixed cabinet installations.
• The cylinder is easily re-keyable via a set screw cylinder release mechanism, so cylinders can be re-pinned or changed in the field when keying plans change, without replacing the entire lock body.
• Key removable in locked or unlocked position allows keys to be taken out whether the drawer is secured or open, which supports different control policies where staff need key removal for either condition.
• Standard function locks are non-handed, so the same lock body can be used on left- or right-hand drawer layouts, helping reduce part variation and simplifying inventory on service trucks and in shops.
• A zinc die cast body paired with a solid brass cylinder provides a metal housing around the mechanism, which supports repeatable performance under normal drawer use in woodworking and casework environments.

Installation And Cylinder Fit For 1-3/8 Inch Drawers

The 1-3/8 inch cylinder length on the Olympus Lock, Inc. 700 Schlage C keyway pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock is sized for drawer and casework builds that require a longer barrel to reach through the front material. This dimension helps align the keyway with the finished drawer face, which is important when working with thicker decorative fronts or applied panels. A zinc die cast body positions the cylinder securely in the lock case, supporting consistent bolt engagement with the bar strike. The easily re-keyable cylinder released by a set screw mechanism lets installers adjust keying while the lock body remains fixed in the woodwork, which keeps the original mounting and bolt alignment intact. Non-handed operation also means a single orientation works for either side of a bank of drawers, supporting uniform drilling patterns.

Where This Olympus Schlage C Drawer Lock Works Best

Using The 700 Schlage C Lock On Drawers

The Olympus Lock, Inc. 700 Schlage C keyway pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock is designed specifically for drawer use where a deadbolt action is preferred over a spring latch. The deadbolt design works with a bar strike so the extended bolt sits in a defined receiver, which is useful in storage drawers requiring a positive lock position. The 1-3/8 inch cylinder length supports drawers with deeper front construction, giving enough reach for the keyway while keeping the body inside the carcass. Because the lock can be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks, it suits casework where drawers and doors need coordinated keying across several cabinets, workstations, or rooms. The oil rubbed bronze finish gives the cylinder face and visible components a dark, traditional appearance that can complement matching decorative hardware on furniture-grade or architectural millwork drawers.

Why Rekeyable Schlage C Details Reduce Rework

The easily re-keyable cylinder accessed by a set screw cylinder release mechanism lets technicians change the Schlage C keying on site while the Olympus 700S-10B138-OBIT lock body remains installed, which avoids pulling the entire assembly from a finished drawer. This arrangement is useful when tenants change, departments reassign storage, or a keyed-to O-Bit master plan is updated, because the solid brass cylinder can be reset without touching the zinc die cast body or bar strike alignment. The ability to accept other manufacturer Schlage compatible key-in-knob cylinders adds flexibility when working in buildings standardized on specific Schlage C key systems, allowing integration of non-Olympus cylinders that match existing keys. Key removable in locked or unlocked position supports different security workflows, since staff can retain the key after locking or during open-access use, while the non-handed function keeps replacement straightforward on either side of a bank of drawers.
