Schlage C Keyway Compatible Cylinder For Cabinet Locks
Schlage C keyway compatible cylinder gives you a lock plug that matches Schlage standard cylinder keying, so you can keep cabinet locks on the same key system as existing Schlage C keyways in the facility. The cylinder is drilled for 6 pins, which allows you to build 6-pin keying patterns where that higher pin count supports more combinations and controlled keying layouts. The solid brass construction provides a robust plug body that stands up well inside cabinet locks during repeated operation. This cylinder works with Olympus less cylinder cabinet locks that are designed for a Schlage standard cylinder, so it drops into that lock body style without changing the basic hardware layout. The satin brass finish provides a consistent brass appearance at the keyway, which matters when you want the lock face to visually match surrounding hardware.
Key Details That Support Cabinet Lock Work
- The solid brass cylinder body provides a durable plug for cabinet lock duty, which helps the internal components stay stable during repeated locking and unlocking cycles over time.
- Being drilled for 6 pins allows you to pin the cylinder to 6-pin key bittings, which supports key systems that rely on 6-pin Schlage patterns for broader master keying structures.
- The Schlage C keyway compatibility means the plug accepts Schlage C pattern keys, which helps maintain consistent keyways across multiple cabinet locks using the same key family.
- Working with Olympus less cylinder cabinet locks built for Schlage standard cylinders allows straightforward installation into those specific locks, which keeps the cabinet lock body in service without replacement.
- The satin brass finish presents a uniform brass appearance at the lock face, which is useful when cabinet fronts and visible lock parts are specified in brass tones for a cohesive look.
Vertical Driver Cylinder Setup For Cabinet Fit
The vertical driver design of this cylinder fits cabinet lock bodies configured for a vertical driver arrangement, which aligns the plug output with those locks so the cam interface works correctly. The cylinder is described as zero bitted, so it arrives without an active key combination, which lets you pin it to the key cuts required for your Schlage C key system before field use. This cylinder works with Olympus less cylinder cabinet locks for Schlage standard cylinders, keeping the lock body and strike relationship unchanged while you build the keying inside the plug. The satin brass finish carries through to the exposed cylinder face, so the lock front maintains a consistent brass color on cabinet doors and drawers.
How This Olympus Cylinder Fits Cabinet Lock Projects
Using The Cylinder With Olympus Cabinet Locks
This Olympus Lock, Inc. cylinder is identified as working with Olympus less cylinder cabinet locks designed for Schlage standard cylinders, which anchors it directly to that family of cabinet hardware.

Why 6-Pin, Zero Bitted, And Brass Matter In Use
The cylinder is drilled for 6 pins, giving you room for 6-pin key combinations that align with Schlage C master key systems, which supports more detailed keying plans on cabinet runs. Being zero bitted means the plug arrives without a preset key combination, so you can pin it to the exact Schlage C key codes needed for each opening, which keeps control of the key schedule in your hands. The solid brass construction provides a stable base material for the plug and pin chambers, supporting smooth pin stack travel as keys are inserted. The satin brass finish on the cylinder face ties into brass-themed cabinet and lock designs, so the visible plug does not visually conflict with other brass hardware in the installation.
