The required hole size affects how easily you can retrofit a lock into existing furniture or plan for new installations. The best lock fits your existing holes or requires minimal modification. For example, the Olympus Lock Miniature Tubular Push Lock mounts in a 7/16" hole, perfect for compact spaces, while the CompX C8414-KA-4G requires a 9/16" hole for its cylinder. A variety of hole sizes are available to suit different installation needs.
