About Cam Latches and Locks
More
Square-Drive Cam Locks
These locks open with a square key, so they're more secure than locks that open with a hex or slotted driver yet still match a common keying system for industrial enclosures and other machinery.
Locks with a fixed latching distance are best when you know the precise distance you need. Since you won’t have to adjust the cam into position, these are faster to install than those with an adjustable latching distance. Locks with multiple latching distances include multiple cams, so you can change the fixed latching distance.
Locks with a roller or protected cam rotate more smoothly than those with other straight and offset cams, making them easier to open and close. The cam won't scrape paint or metal chips off the frame that can damage items in the enclosure. The roller cam also compresses a bit to help minimize rattling from vibration.
Style E locks meet EN 45545 standards for flammability.
IP or NEMA rated locks help keep your sealed enclosure's contents safe from dust and water damage. This helps maintain your enclosure's IP or NEMA rating for washdowns or brief submersions.

Two-Way-Drive Cam Locks
Open these locks with a two-way key (sold separately). Also known as a double-bit key, it’s more secure than a hex key or screwdriver, yet still matches a common keying system for industrial enclosures and other machinery. These locks also have a flat, concealed design that prevents others from tampering with them using pliers. Their cam rotates 90° to close enclosure doors, so they’re also known as quarter-turn locks.
Locks with a fixed latching distance are best when you know the precise distance you need. They’re faster to install than locks with an adjustable latching distance, since you won’t have to adjust the cam into position. To accommodate different latching distances, they come with multiple cams.
Locks with a roller or protected cam have the smoothest rotation of the locks we offer, making them the easiest to open and close. The cam won’t scratch or chip surfaces to protect electronics inside from paint or metal chips.
IP or NEMA rated locks have a gasket that keeps dust and water from getting in through the lock.

L-Handle Slotted-Drive Cam Locks
For a simplified keying system, these cam locks open and close with a slotted screwdriver. Also called quarter-turn locks, they have a cam that rotates 90° to lock cabinet doors and other enclosures. A gasket prevents water, dust, and dirt from getting into the enclosure through the lock. This helps you maintain your sealed enclosure’s IP65 and NEMA 4 ratings.
These locks come with three cams, so you can choose between three different latching distances. Each individual cam has a fixed latching distance. Since you won’t have to adjust the cams into position, these locks are faster to install than those that have cams with an adjustable latching distance. Locks with a roller cam rotate more smoothly than those with straight and offset cams, making them easier to open and close. The cam won’t scratch or flake enclosure surfaces to protect electronics inside from paint or metal chips.

Washdown L-Handle Padlockable Cam Latches
To help keep the contents of a sealed enclosure safe from water damage, these padlockable latches help maintain the enclosure's IP or NEMA rating for low-pressure washdowns. Also known as quarter-turn latches, they have an arm that rotates 90° to secure your enclosures.
All of the cams in these locks have a fixed latching distance. Since you won’t have to adjust the cams into position, these locks are faster to install than those with an adjustable latching distance. Locks with a roller cam rotate more smoothly than those with straight and offset cams, making them easier to open and close. The cam won’t scratch or flake enclosure surfaces to protect electronics inside from damaging paint or metal chips. The roller cam also compresses a bit to help eliminate rattling noises from vibration.
Use stainless steel latches in areas that are constantly exposed to moisture since they resist corrosion better than zinc latches.
