CompX National disc tumbler cam lock gives drawers and cabinet doors a keyed security point using a disc tumbler mechanism that controls access with a matching key. The 1-3/16 inch cylinder length lets the lock reach through typical drawer fronts or cabinet doors so the cam can engage effectively on the back side. A 3/4 inch mounting hole size sets the required bore diameter, which helps installers plan drilling for wood or metal fronts. The 90 degree CW rotation defines the cam swing, so the locked and unlocked positions are consistent across installations. Keyed alike code lets multiple locks operate with the same key, reducing key management where several fronts need the same access. Bright nickel finish provides a clean, metallic appearance that matches other bright nickel hardware for a uniform look on cabinetry.
The 3/4 inch mounting hole specification defines the core preparation step for installing this cam lock into drawers or cabinet doors. The 1-3/16 inch cylinder length sets the maximum combined thickness of the front and frame on overlay applications, since that thickness cannot exceed the cylinder length for proper cam engagement. On overlay constructions, that limit keeps the cam within effective reach of the strike area behind the front. On flush applications, the same length allows the cylinder to project enough for either straight or formed cams to rotate and clear their path. The 90 degree CW rotation also fixes where the key points in locked and unlocked positions, which matters when orienting the cylinder during mounting.
This CompX National disc tumbler cam lock is described for drawers and for right-hand or left-hand doors with lipped or overlay construction when using a straight cam. The same lock works on flush construction when a formed cam is used, covering common cabinet and casework layouts. For overlay applications, the combined thickness of the front and frame cannot exceed the 1-3/16 inch cylinder length, so this dimension directly defines which overlay situations can be secured with this lock. The 3/4 inch mounting hole applies across these applications, allowing a single bore size for drawers, right-hand doors, and left-hand doors. This range of applications lets one lock type serve multiple cabinet positions within a project.
The 90 degree cam turn on all locks sets a consistent quarter-turn action from locked to unlocked, which speeds operation when the same motion is repeated across many drawers or doors. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the key can be taken out after securing or opening, which supports workflows where keys travel between stations rather than staying at the lock. The keyed alike code allows multiple units of this C8053-KA-14A lock to operate with the same pattern, reducing the number of keys needed for areas that share access. The lock will key together with all other disc tumbler locks using the D8785 key blank, so a single key blank can serve a broader group of disc tumbler locks in the same facility. Master keying to E41A using the D8783 key blank adds a master level to that system, giving another tier of access control while keeping the disc tumbler format consistent.
The 1-3/16 inch cylinder length sets the maximum combined thickness of front and frame in overlay applications, so the cam can still reach and secure the cabinet structure effectively.
The lock is described for drawers, right-hand doors, and left-hand doors with lipped or overlay construction using a straight cam, and for flush construction using a formed cam.
The 90 degree CW rotation means the cam turns a quarter turn clockwise between locked and unlocked, giving a short, predictable key motion for frequent daily operation.
The keyed alike code lets multiple C8053-KA-14A locks work with the same key, simplifying access across banks of drawers or doors that share the same security level.
The lock will key together with disc tumbler locks using the D8785 key blank, and it can be master keyed to E41A using the D8783 key blank for tiered access.
The 3/4 inch mounting hole dimension sets the bore size for installation in drawers or doors, helping drill operations match the cylinder body for a secure fit.
The CompX National disc tumbler cam lock C8053-KA-14A combines a 1-3/16 inch cylinder, 3/4 inch mounting hole, and 90 degree CW rotation to match common cabinet thicknesses and operating habits. Its keyed alike code and D8785 key blank compatibility support streamlined key setups in multi-lock installations. When drawers or right-hand and left-hand doors use lipped, overlay, or flush construction within the described thickness range, this bright nickel cam lock provides a consistent cylinder look and a uniform key action. Choose this model when those dimensions and keying details align with the cabinet layouts being built or updated.
