Frequently Asked Questions
A cam lock is a simple lock made up of a body, which is fitted through a hole in a door or panel, and a flat metal arm called the cam. Turning the key or knob rotates the cam behind the frame to lock the door, or rotates it clear to open it.
Cam locks secure cabinets, lockers, cupboards, drawers, control panels, enclosures and access panels. Choose a keyed cylinder camlock where security matters, a quarter-turn latch with a wing knob for quick tool-free access, a triangular camlock for panels that only authorised staff should open, or a padlockable camlock to use your own padlock.
Measure the thickness of the door or panel the lock will pass through, then choose a thread length longer than that thickness so the nut can be fully tightened. Our cylinder camlocks come in 16mm, 20mm, 25mm and 30mm thread lengths. If you’re replacing an old lock, also check the cam length and the shape of the mounting hole.
Push the lock body through the mounting hole from the front and tighten the nut from behind. Attach the cam to the back of the lock with its screw or nut, making sure it points in the right direction to catch the frame when locked. Test it with the door closed before fully tightening.
