About Cam Latches and Locks
More
Spring-Cam Slotted-Drive Locks
These locks have a spring-wire cam that slips under a receiving catch on a cabinet body to create tension and hold cabinet doors and drawers closed. To latch, turn the head a quarter-turn to draw the cam against the door or drawer surface. A quarter-turn in the opposite direction releases the tension and opens the door or drawer.
Locks with a serrated-spring cam grip tighter than those with a smooth-spring cam to help retain their hold. They’re best for high-vibration applications.
Fastener-mount locks are easy to remove and replace for maintenance.
Zinc- and copper-plated steel locks are mildly corrosion resistant.
300-series stainless steel locks are more corrosion resistant than zinc- and copper-plated steel locks, so they’re less likely to rust.
