Schlage C Keyway Only Compatible Cylinder Horizontal Driver, Satin Chrome, Keyed Different
Description
Schlage C Keyway Cylinder For Cabinet Locks
Schlage C keyway cylinder from Olympus uses the familiar Schlage C keyway profile, so it operates with Schlage pattern keys where that keyway is already part of the system. The solid brass construction provides a robust plug body, which supports long-term keying stability in typical cabinet lock use. This cylinder is drilled for 6 pins, allowing 6-pin keying layouts that support more complex keying plans. It works with Olympus less cylinder cabinet locks that are designed for a Schlage standard cylinder, so it fits into those housings as the working core of the lock. The horizontal driver layout is built into this cylinder style, so it transfers cam motion reliably to the matching cabinet lock body.
Key Working Details That Support Cabinet Work
- The cylinder is drilled for 6 pins, which allows 6-pin keying patterns so cabinet locks can follow the same pinning scheme as related door hardware in a keyed system.
- Solid brass construction creates a consistent machining surface for pins and key cuts, which supports smooth operation when the cabinet lock is cycled repeatedly in normal use.
- This cylinder works with Olympus less cylinder cabinet locks for Schlage standard cylinder, so it serves as the active plug in those bodies when a Schlage C keyway is required.
- The product is keyed different, so each cylinder is set up on its own key change, which helps keep individual cabinets separate in applications that call for unique keys.
- The satin chrome finish provides a neutral metallic face at the key opening, which suits typical metal or finished-wood cabinet fronts where a subtle lock appearance is preferred.
Installation Fit For Olympus Schlage C Cabinet Cylinders
This Olympus lock cylinder is designed to work with Olympus less cylinder cabinet locks for Schlage standard cylinder, so it installs as the plug that completes those lock bodies. The horizontal driver format built into this cylinder is arranged to align with the horizontal drive style in those cabinet locks, so key turn motion is transmitted properly to the locking mechanism. Tailpiece and driver bar references 10-360, 10-361 (1-1/8) and 10-362 (1-3/8) in the description identify compatible driver bar styles and lengths for this cylinder family, so the installer can select a driver setup that matches the cabinet lock backset and material thickness.
How This Olympus Cylinder Works In Cabinets
Where The Schlage C Keyway Cylinder Is Used
This Olympus cylinder fits Olympus less cylinder cabinet locks that accept a Schlage standard cylinder, so it is used wherever those bodies are installed on cabinets, drawers, or similar enclosures. The Schlage C keyway profile allows it to work as part of a Schlage C-based key system, so cabinet locks can be keyed on the same C keyway pattern that is already in service on other openings using that keyway. Because it is keyed different, this cylinder is suited to locations where each cabinet or drawer needs its own key, keeping individual compartments controlled separately while still using the common Schlage C keyway style.
Details That Support Reliable Cabinet Lock Operation
The solid brass, 6-pin-drilled construction gives the pin chambers and keyway a precise bore, which supports accurate pin stacking and consistent key feel when operating the cabinet lock. The horizontal driver configuration is built into the cylinder so that, once installed in an Olympus less cylinder cabinet lock, the key rotation drives the internal cam in the intended horizontal plane, contributing to predictable latching and unlatching action. The satin chrome finish on the cylinder face provides a clean, low-glare appearance around the keyhole, which keeps the lock visually discreet on finished cabinetry while still clearly marking the operating point for the user.
