Cam Lock Set 16/20/25/30mm With 2 Keys

Key Features

• Cam Lock Category — Cam locks are compact rotary fasteners used on cabinets, drawers, and small storage doors, where a quarter-turn of the cam secures the panel.
• Simple Mechanical Operation — A cam lock works through a short rotating cam rather than a bolt, so the lock is turned with a key or a fitted knob.

What It Is / How It Works

This cam lock set belongs to the cam lock category of cabinet and storage hardware. Cam locks are used on cabinet doors, drawers, cupboards, mailboxes, and lockers, and they are typically installed by drilling a hole in the panel and fitting the cam body through it. The category covers a range of lock sizes and faceplate styles, so the right fit depends on the panel and the hole the lock sits in.

Who It's For / Use Cases

Cam locks suit people who want simple keyed security on cabinets, drawers, and storage boxes, including household storage, office filing cabinets, and mailboxes. They are a common choice for anyone replacing a worn lock or fitting a lock to a new panel, and they work well for buyers who want a lock with a straightforward turn-to-secure action.

How to Use / Care

1. Use cam locks on cabinet doors, drawers, cupboards, mailboxes, and lockers, the panel types the category is made for.

How to Choose

Start by measuring the panel thickness and the hole where the lock will sit, because cam locks come in different sizes and that measurement decides which lock body fits. Next, consider the faceplate style so it matches the door or drawer front. Finally, check whether the lock works with the type of panel you are securing, whether wood, metal, or plastic, so the cam body holds firmly once turned.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cam lock used for?
Cam locks secure cabinet doors, drawers, cupboards, mailboxes, and lockers. A cam body turns behind the panel and pulls the door or drawer tight against the frame.

How do I choose the right cam lock size?
Measure the panel thickness and the drilled hole before buying. Cam locks are sold in several lengths, so matching the cam body to the panel thickness keeps the lock firm when turned.

What panels can cam locks be fitted to?
Cam locks are generally fitted to wood, metal, or plastic panels that have a clean drilled hole. The panel should be thick enough to hold the cam body without flexing.

Do cam locks need a key to operate?
Most cam locks are keyed, so the cam turns when the correct key is inserted and rotated. The key turns the cylinder, which moves the cam behind the panel.

Why choose a cam lock over other locks?
Cam locks are compact and simple to fit, which suits cabinets and drawers where a small lock body is needed. Their quarter-turn action is familiar for everyday storage use.
