800 Schlage C Keyway Pin Tumbler Deadbolt Drawer Lock, Satin Chrome, Keyed to Alike #101, Cylinder Length 1-3/8"

Schlage C Keyway Deadbolt Drawer Lock For Cabinets

Schlage C keyway deadbolt drawer lock gives you a pin tumbler deadbolt for drawers where keyed control and consistent keying are important. The lock uses a Schlage C keyway, so it matches existing systems set up on that keyway, which simplifies key management across multiple locks. The cylinder length is 1-3/8 inch, so it suits drawer and casework layouts designed around that barrel depth. This model is keyed alike #101, so all locks on the same KA101 system operate with the same key, which reduces key count and speeds access for authorized users. The body is zinc die cast and the cylinder is solid brass, giving a metal housing and core suited to repeated, daily locking and unlocking. The finish is satin chrome (26D), so the lock presents a neutral, commercial look that coordinates with typical architectural hardware finishes.

Practical Deadbolt Drawer Lock Details That Matter

• Passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, so the lock meets a recognized standard for cabinet deadbolt performance, which supports use in higher-demand commercial or institutional casework.
• Can be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks, which allows a unified key system on drawers, doors, and other Schlage C hardware in the same facility.
• Easily rekeyable via set screw cylinder release mechanism, so cylinders can be swapped without replacing the entire lock body, which saves labor and material on keying changes.
• Key is removable in locked or unlocked position, so users can remove the key after locking or leave the drawer open while still keeping the key secure.
• Standard function locks are non-handed, so the same lock works in left- and right-hand applications, which simplifies layout and reduces stocking of separate handings.
• Will accept other manufacturer's Schlage compatible key-in-knob cylinders, which provides flexibility to match existing key systems using compatible cylinders from other suppliers.

Deadbolt Drawer Lock Fit And Keying Setup

The 1-3/8 inch cylinder length defines how this deadbolt drawer lock sits in the drawer front, so it suits installations built around that barrel projection. The pin tumbler design works with the Schlage C keyway, which lets locksmiths or security managers integrate it into broader Schlage C systems. The keyed alike #101 configuration means every lock on this KA101 scheme operates from the same cut, which streamlines key distribution in banks of drawers. The easily rekeyable set screw cylinder release mechanism allows cylinder changes while leaving the zinc die cast body installed, which helps during rekey projects or when upgrading to different Schlage compatible key-in-knob cylinders.

Where This Drawer Lock Fits And Why Details Count

Deadbolt Drawer Lock Use In Casework And Cabinets

This 800 Schlage C keyway pin tumbler deadbolt drawer lock is intended for drawers in cabinets or casework where keyed deadbolt engagement is preferred over simple latches. The zinc die cast body provides a rigid housing for the deadbolt mechanism, which supports repeated cycling on storage drawers in offices, healthcare, or institutional millwork. The solid brass cylinder partnered with the Schlage C keyway offers a familiar interface for sites already running Schlage C keys, helping maintain a consistent key platform. The satin chrome 26D finish blends with many drawer pulls and door locks in commercial interiors, so the lock face does not visually conflict with other satin chrome hardware. The keyed alike #101 setup is useful for banks of drawers that all require access by the same user group, providing a single-key solution for multiple lock points.

Lock Details Supporting Rekeying And System Flexibility

The easily rekeyable set screw cylinder release mechanism lets technicians release the cylinder from the zinc die cast body without disturbing the rest of the drawer preparation, which shortens rekey time during key system changes. Because the lock can be keyed together with other Schlage C keyway locks, it fits into broader master key or keyed-alike schemes that already rely on that keyway, helping keep one consistent key family across doors and drawers. The ability to accept other manufacturer's Schlage compatible key-in-knob cylinders means facilities with a preferred cylinder brand can still use this Olympus Lock body while retaining their chosen cylinder line, which supports long-term system standardization. Non-handed standard function design allows the same lock to be used on drawers in different orientations, so installers can carry one part number for multiple cabinet layouts. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements indicates the lock has been tested against a recognized benchmark for cabinet deadbolt locks, which supports its use where performance criteria are specified.
