700 Schlage C Keyway Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Drawer Lock, Bright Brass, Keyed to Alike #101, Cylinder Length 1-3/8"

Schlage C Keyway Drawer Lock For Secure Drawers

Schlage C keyway drawer lock identifies this Olympus Lock, Inc. 700 Series pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock as using the Schlage C keyway, so it can share keys with other Schlage C keyway locks on the same job. The cylinder length is 1-3/8 inch, so it fits drawer or panel thicknesses suited to this longer barrel dimension where shorter cylinders would not reach. The body is zinc die cast with a solid brass cylinder, so the lock pairs a rigid body with a brass cylinder suited to repeated key cycles in a deadbolt application. The lock is keyed alike to #101 (KA101), so multiple locks using the same KA101 setup can be operated by the same key for simplified access control. This product is classified as a deadbolt lock, so it projects a bolt from the drawer front to a strike to resist forced opening.

Key Details That Support Daily Drawer Security

• The ability to be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks lets you run a single key across multiple Schlage C keyway openings, simplifying key management on cabinets and furniture banks.
• The easily re-keyable design uses a set screw cylinder release mechanism, so the cylinder can be removed for re-keying, helping adapt the keying system when tenants or access requirements change.
• The lock passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, so it meets a recognized test standard for deadbolt performance in drawer lock use.
• Key removable in locked or unlocked position means the key can be withdrawn after locking or unlocking, supporting workflows where the key is carried away rather than left in the cylinder.
• Standard function locks are non-handed, so the same lock body can be used on left- or right-hand drawer layouts, reducing orientation issues during installation.
• The lock will accept other manufacturer's Schlage compatible key-in-knob cylinders, so qualified users can substitute Schlage compatible key-in-knob style cylinders when configuring key systems.

Deadbolt Drawer Lock Fit And Cylinder Setup

The 1-3/8 inch cylinder length establishes how far the cylinder barrel extends through the drawer front, which matters when selecting the lock for thicker drawer faces or panels needing this longer reach. This 700 Schlage C keyway pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock uses a set screw cylinder release mechanism, so the installer can release the cylinder for re-keying work without replacing the complete lock body. The standard function locks are non-handed, so orientation does not change between left- or right-hand drawer fronts, streamlining layout on banks of drawers using the same deadbolt lock. The key removable in locked or unlocked position supports operating routines where the key is either retained during use or removed immediately after cycling the lock.

Using This Olympus 700 Drawer Deadbolt In Workflows

Where This Schlage C Keyway Drawer Lock Fits Best

This product is a 700 Schlage C keyway pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock from Olympus Lock, Inc., so it is suited for drawer applications needing a deadbolt action controlled by a Schlage C keyway. The classification under deadbolt locks means the locking action uses a projecting deadbolt engaging a bar strike, which is appropriate where a positive mechanical engagement into the cabinet body or frame is required. The bright brass finish called out in the product name supports projects calling for a brass appearance on exposed drawer fronts that also use brass-finished hardware. Because the lock can be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks, it works well in installations where cabinet doors and drawers all use Schlage C keyways and must operate from a unified key set.

Why These Locking Details Support Repeatable Results

The keyed alike #101 (KA101) setup means multiple 700 Schlage C keyway pin tumbler deadbolt drawer locks using KA101 will share the same key pattern, which simplifies issuing and tracking keys across several drawers in a controlled area. The easily re-keyable set screw cylinder release mechanism allows cylinder changes while retaining the zinc die cast body, helping maintain consistent hardware alignment on the drawer face during key system changes. The combination of a zinc die cast body and solid brass cylinder balances structural support at the cabinet interface with a brass keying component designed for repeated operation in furniture environments. Meeting ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements indicates the lock has been evaluated against a published deadbolt performance standard, which supports specifying it where formal performance criteria are required. Accepting other manufacturer's Schlage compatible key-in-knob cylinders provides flexibility when administrators manage Schlage based key systems and want drawer deadbolts to tie into existing key-in-knob cylinder platforms.
