700 Schlage C Keyway Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Drawer Lock, Satin Chrome, Keyed to Alike #102, Cylinder Length 1-1/8"
Description
Schlage C Keyway Deadbolt Drawer Lock Function
Schlage C keyway deadbolt drawer lock from Olympus Lock is a pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock that secures drawers using a 1-1/8 inch cylinder length. This configuration places the locking point deeper in the drawer side, which helps when you need a positive deadbolt throw rather than a spring latch. The lock uses a Schlage C keyway, so it aligns with systems already built around Schlage C keying. The cylinder is solid brass, which supports smooth key operation over time under repeated use. The body is zinc die cast, giving a rigid housing around the cylinder that supports the deadbolt mechanism. The lock is keyed alike 102, so multiple locks in this keying group operate from the same key, simplifying key control on banks of drawers. Standard function locks are non-handed, which lets you use the same lock body on either side orientation.
Deadbolt Drawer Lock Details That Support Daily Use
- The 1-1/8 inch cylinder length positions the deadbolt for drawer applications that need deeper engagement, which helps when drawer construction puts the strike point farther from the front.
- The Schlage C keyway lets this lock be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks, so one key can operate multiple locking points across a project where the same key system is in place.
- The solid brass cylinder works with the pin tumbler design to provide consistent key turning feel, which matters when locks are operated frequently along a run of casework or cabinetry.
- The zinc die cast body supports the cylinder and deadbolt components, which provides a stable platform for the bolt movement in typical drawer lock installations.
- The lock passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, which indicates the design has been tested to a defined performance level for cabinet locks under repeated operation.
Re-Keyable Cylinder And Drawer Lock Operation
This Olympus 700 Schlage C deadbolt lock is easily re-keyable via a set screw cylinder release mechanism, which allows the brass cylinder to be removed for re-keying without changing the entire lock body. This saves time when adjusting keying on existing cabinets or built-ins that already have the lock installed. The key is removable in the locked or unlocked position, so the lock can be left either secured or open without the key present, which is useful when drawers need to remain open during work and then be secured after access. Standard function locks are non-handed, so one part number works on left- or right-side drawer applications, helping streamline planning and installation across different cabinet layouts.
How This Deadbolt Drawer Lock Works In Cabinets
Where This Schlage C Drawer Lock Is Used
The 700 Schlage C keyway pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock is used on drawer applications where a deadbolt-style lock is preferred. Its deadbolt action suits installations needing a positive bolt engagement into a bar strike rather than relying on a spring latch, which is common in casework where drawers must stay locked against pulling force. The satin chrome finish 26D presents a neutral metal appearance that fits commercial and institutional cabinetry. Because the lock can be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks, it serves projects where drawer security is tied into a broader Schlage C key system used on cabinets or similar fixtures.
Details That Support Repeatable Locking Performance
The pin tumbler construction in the solid brass cylinder provides a familiar keying format for locksmiths and keying shops, which supports consistent key duplication and system expansion. The easily re-keyable set screw cylinder release mechanism allows the cylinder to be swapped or re-keyed while the zinc die cast body stays mounted, which reduces disturbance to the drawer front during keying changes. The lock will accept other manufacturer Schlage compatible key-in-knob cylinders, which provides flexibility when coordinating key systems built around different but Schlage-compatible cylinders. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements indicates the lock design has been validated to a recognized cabinet lock performance standard, supporting long-term operation where drawers are opened and locked many times per day.
