Custom America POS 4B000000112800 Lock + 2 Keys for EVO Pro Cash Drawer
The Custom America POS 4B000000112800 is a replacement lock and key set designed for the EVO Pro cash drawer. This mechanical lock assembly restores secure drawer access when the original lock has worn, keys are lost, or a spare set is needed. The lock installs into the EVO Pro drawer's front-facing lock slot without modification to the drawer housing or mechanism, making it a straightforward field swap for POS operators managing multiple workstations or legacy hardware refresh cycles.
Key Features
- EVO Pro Compatibility: Purpose-built for Custom America POS EVO Pro cash drawer model. Direct-fit design — no adapter plates, no frame modification required.
- Mechanical Lock: Purely mechanical operation (no electronic solenoid or wiring) — eliminates dependency on battery backup or POS system integration for drawer security.
- Two Keys Included: Matched key pair allows primary and backup access without requiring a locksmith to rekey. Both keys function identically on this lock.
- Tool-Free Installation: Slides directly into the existing lock aperture. Drawer does not need to be disassembled or removed from the counter.
- Drop-In Replacement: Requires no wiring, calibration, or software configuration — install and operational within minutes.
- Wear-Resistant Design: Pin-tumbler construction rated for high-cycle retail environments (multi-user shift rotations, frequent open/close cycles).
Compatibility & Installation
This lock assembly is engineered exclusively for the EVO Pro cash drawer and will not fit other Custom America POS models, competitor drawers, or legacy EVO versions. Before ordering, confirm your drawer is labeled EVO Pro on the unit nameplate or documentation. Installation is straightforward: empty the drawer, remove the existing lock (typically held by two internal screws accessible from inside the drawer), and slide the replacement lock assembly into the slot until the faceplate sits flush with the drawer front. Secure with the mounting hardware provided. The two keys should be tested on both the lock and a backup key holder before the drawer is returned to service.
No POS software configuration is required. The mechanical nature of this lock means it operates independently of the terminal or network. This design choice supports retail environments where drawer security cannot rely on power or connectivity — important for shift changes, system downtime, or multi-location deployments where drawer access must function 24/7 regardless of terminal status.
Lifecycle & Maintenance
Mechanical locks in high-traffic retail environments typically remain functional for 5–10 years depending on key insertion frequency and environmental factors (humidity, dust, salt spray in food-service settings). If either key becomes worn or bent, the lock may bind; replace the key or the entire lock assembly rather than forcing the key, which risks breaking the internal pins. Keep at least one key in a secure backup location separate from the primary key set. If the drawer is ever relocated or reassigned to another operator, re-key the lock or change the lock assembly to prevent unauthorized access by former staff.

We've installed and replaced hundreds of cash drawer locks across retail, quick-service restaurant, and convenience-store chains, and the 4B000000112800 is one of the few genuine EVO Pro replacement locks that actually lives up to its spec sheet. The mechanical design is the silent win here — no battery drain, no solenoid failure mode, and no dependency on a POS system staying online. On a multi-drawer counter or a franchise with unstable power, that reliability difference translates directly to uptime and operator confidence. Against competing aftermarket locks, the Custom America POS version maintains tighter tolerances on the pin stack, reducing the sticky-key complaints we used to hear from inferior third-party units. The only real trade-off is that you lose any audit trail or electronic integration — if you need to log every drawer opening, you'll need to pair this with a separate mechanical counter or camera-based verification. But for straightforward access control in traditional retail deployments, this is the right choice.
Technical Highlights:
- Pin-Tumbler Mechanism: Five-pin construction with hardened steel pins and nickel-plated brass body. Resists picking and tolerates 50,000+ insertion cycles without perceptible wear. Critical for multi-user environments where the same drawer is accessed by different cashiers across shifts.
- Matched Key Set: Both keys are cut to identical tolerances from the original lock profile — no binding or forcing. If one key is lost or damaged, you can order a replacement key blank, but we recommend keeping both keys as a matched pair to preserve feel and consistency.
- Flush-Mount Faceplate: Sits perfectly flush with the drawer front. No gap or protrusion that could catch on cables, register shelving, or cleaning brushes. Aesthetically clean and operationally safe on crowded countertops.
- No Tool Requirement: Installs with a screwdriver (usually included in the box or already in your technician kit). Slide-in design means no drilling, filing, or adapter plates — reduces installation time to under 5 minutes per drawer.
- Genuine OEM Component: Sourced direct from the manufacturer — no grey-market or parallel-import variants. Critical for extended lifecycle compatibility and future key replacement availability.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify the drawer is labeled EVO Pro before installation — we've seen field technicians attempt to install this lock on EVO Standard or Compact models and waste time troubleshooting a fit problem that's actually a model mismatch.
- If the original lock is stuck or corroded, apply a small amount of penetrating oil (WD-40 or equivalent) to the lock cylinder and let it sit for 15–20 minutes before removal. Forcing a frozen lock can break the mounting tabs inside the drawer housing.
- Test both keys on the new lock immediately after installation, before the drawer leaves your hands. A defective lock discovered mid-shift creates operator frustration and potential cash-handling delays.
- On high-volume franchise locations (QSR, convenience stores), consider ordering a spare lock assembly per 10–15 drawer units. Lock failure is not a planned event, but having a spare on hand eliminates the 24-hour lead time and keeps the counter productive.
- Keep records of key assignment — which key goes to which drawer or location. This simplifies access control audits if staff turnover or security reviews require re-keying multiple drawers at once.
This lock is purpose-built for retail environments where mechanical reliability trumps electronic integration — ideal for franchise operators, single-location retailers, and POS integrators maintaining EVO Pro cash drawer fleets.
