Description
Olympus Pin Tumbler Cam Lock For Secure Cabinets
Olympus pin tumbler cam lock gives you a keyed cylinder solution for applications needing a secure cam action. The zinc die cast body and zinc die cast pin tumbler cylinder create a solid lock body that supports consistent turning under normal cabinet use. The N Series keyway, equivalent to the National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin system, ties this lock into a familiar key system where that format is already used. Stock keying in KD or KA 4-pin standard helps align the cylinder setup with specific keying plans. The satin chrome 26D finish provides a neutral, professional look that blends well with metal or laminate casework. A 1 inch face that covers splintering eliminates the need for an additional trim ring, which simplifies door or panel preparation around the cutout.

- Can be keyed together with other N Series locks, allowing shared key operation across multiple lock points where the same key system is desired.
- Easily rekeyable via the cylinder retainer clip, so cylinders can be reconfigured to new key sets without replacing the entire lock body.
- Passed ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements, giving this cam lock a tested performance level for demanding commercial or institutional installations.

Installation And Face Details For Clean Fit
The 7/8 inch material thickness rating with 3/4 inch cylinder focuses this Olympus cam lock on panels in that thickness range, which aligns the cylinder length with typical cabinet doors or drawer fronts. The 1 inch face covers splintering at the bore, so the cut edge around the hole is concealed once the lock is seated. This means edge chipping around the drilled opening is hidden behind the lock face during installation. The satin chrome 26D finish on the face presents a clean appearance at the door front while the zinc die cast body sits behind the panel.
How This DCN2-26D-KD Cam Lock Works On Jobs
Where The N Series Cam Lock Is Typically Used
This cam lock sits in the Locks and Latches, Cam Locks product class, positioning it for cabinet and casework projects needing a rotating cam action. The 7/8 inch material thickness specification with 3/4 inch cylinder length makes it suitable for panels within that range where a through-bore is practical. Two reversible cams that work in all positions allow this lock to address doors or drawers that need either straight or offset cam engagement. Because it can be keyed together with other N Series locks, it supports keyed-alike runs where several doors, drawers, or panels share the same key pattern. The N Series keyway, equivalent to National D4291 4-pin or D4292 5-pin systems, connects the lock to existing N Series key ecosystems in many facilities.
Why Rekeyable, Grade 1 Details Matter In Use
Rekeyable construction via the cylinder retainer clip means the cylinder core can be reconfigured to a different key pattern when keying plans change, which allows ongoing control without swapping the entire lock assembly. The stock keying options of KD or KA 4-pin standard provide flexibility between individually keyed locations and keyed-alike groups. Masterkeyed setups using a 5-pin standard and grand masterkeyed availability extend that flexibility for multi-level key control in larger installations. Passing ANSI/BHMA A156.11 Grade 1 performance requirements indicates the lock was tested to a recognized commercial performance benchmark. The zinc die cast body and pin tumbler cylinder support the internal mechanism needed for consistent cam rotation, and the standard function with key removable in locked or unlocked position aligns with routines where users want to remove the key at either position.
