About Cam Latches and Locks

Washdown Slotted-Drive Cam Locks




Help keep your sealed enclosure's contents safe from dust and water damage—these locks help maintain an enclosure's IP or NEMA rating for washdowns. All open with a slotted screwdriver, so they’re good for areas where you don’t want a complicated keying system.
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 an adjustable latching distance handle a wide range of latching distances, so they’re best for tasks when precise distances are unknown. Adjust the position of the cam before you begin to install them.
Locks with a protected or roller 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.
Stainless steel and plastic locks are more corrosion resistant than zinc locks. They won’t rust in areas that are constantly exposed to moisture.
Locks that meet EN 45545 adhere to strict standards for flammability.
IP69K rated locks help your enclosure stand up against high-temperature, high-pressure washdowns.

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 B locks have a low-profile design, so they won’t snag straps or other items passing by. They project further into the enclosure than other locks with a fixed latching distance. All meet EN 45545 standards for flammability.
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.

Tight-Hold Square-Drive Cam Locks for Pressurized Enclosures

Mount these two-piece locks on sealed pressurized enclosures to gradually release pressure and prevent your door from bursting open. A quarter turn partially opens the door and lets the pressure escape while the door is still latched. Another quarter turn fully opens the door. Also known as compression cam locks, these locks create a tighter hold than a traditional cam lock, making them useful for doors that have a seal. To lock, turn the head a quarter turn, then another quarter turn to create compression and minimize rattling from vibration.
These locks open with a square key (sold separately), 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. They have a concealed design to stop others from tampering with them using pliers. Since these locks do not extend inside the enclosure when installed, you’ll have full use of the inside space.

Food Industry Tight-Hold Square-Drive Cam Locks



Designed for food-processing and hygienic applications, these locks are FDA compliant for direct contact with food. They have a smooth finish and round edges, so there are no crevices for contaminants to collect in. A seal helps keep high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns and dust from entering through the lock. This helps you maintain an IP69K rating on sealed enclosures that are often used in food processing plants. Also known as compression cam locks, these locks create a tighter hold than a traditional cam lock, making them useful for doors that have a seal. Turn the head a quarter turn to lock, then turn it another quarter turn to create compression and minimize rattling from vibration.
Made of stainless steel, these locks won’t break down in areas that are constantly exposed to moisture. All of the cams in the 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 straight and offset cams include multiple cams, so you can change the fixed latching distance.
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. However, they’re less secure than other square-drive locks with a concealed design because the square sticking out from the lock is easier to tamper with using pliers.

Stainless steel locks are more corrosion resistant than zinc and aluminum locks. They won’t rust in areas that are constantly exposed to moisture. Although less corrosion resistant than stainless steel, aluminum locks resist rusting better than zinc locks. They’re also the lightest in weight.
IP or NEMA rated locks have a gasket that helps keep low-pressure washdowns and dust from entering through the lock. This helps you maintain your sealed enclosure's IP or NEMA rating.

Hex-Drive Cam Locks



For a simplified keying system, these cam locks open with a hex key (not included).
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, they’re faster to install than locks with an adjustable latching distance. Those with offset or roller cams come with multiple cams to accommodate different latching distances.
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.
Stainless steel and plastic locks resist corrosion better than zinc locks. Plastic locks are the lightest in weight and do not conduct electricity. However, they’re easier to drill into and tamper with compared to metal locks.
Style B have a low profile, so they won’t catch on anything that passes by.
IP or NEMA rated locks have a gasket that keeps dust and water from getting in through the lock. IP65 rated locks seal out water from low-pressure washdowns.
EN 45545 rated locks meet flammability standards.

Triangle-Drive Cam Locks


Open these locks with a triangle key—it’s more secure than a hex key or screwdriver, yet still matches 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, they’re faster to install than locks with an adjustable latching distance. They come with multiple cams to accommodate different latching distances.
Stainless steel and plastic locks resist corrosion better than zinc locks.
Style A have a low profile and Style F are flush with the surface, so they won’t catch on anything that passes by. The back of the lock may project further into your enclosure than locks with a standard profile.
All have a gasket that keeps dust and water from getting in through the lock. This helps you maintain your sealed enclosure’s IP or NEMA rating. IP65 rated locks seal out water from low-pressure washdowns. IP67 rated locks block out water if your sealed enclosure is briefly submersed.
EN 45545 rated locks meet flammability standards.

Food Industry Tight-Hold Triangle-Drive Cam Locks

Designed for food-processing and hygienic applications, these locks are FDA compliant for direct contact with food. They have a smooth finish and round edges, so there are no crevices for contaminants to collect in. A seal helps keep high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns and dust from entering through the lock. This helps you maintain an IP69K rating on sealed enclosures that are often used in food processing plants. Also known as compression cam locks, these locks create a tighter hold than a traditional cam lock, making them useful for doors that have a seal. Turn the head a quarter turn to lock, then turn it another quarter turn to create compression and minimize rattling from vibration.
Made of stainless steel, these locks won’t break down in areas that are constantly exposed to moisture. They include multiple cams, so you can change the fixed latching distance. Since you won’t have to adjust the cams into position, these are faster to install than those with an adjustable latching distance.
These locks open with a triangle 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. They have a concealed design to stop others from tampering with them using pliers.

Tight-Hold Two-Way-Drive Cam Locks for Pressurized Enclosures
Mount these two-piece locks on sealed pressurized enclosures to gradually release and prevent your door from bursting open. A quarter turn partially opens the door and lets the pressure escape while the door is still latched. Another quarter turn fully opens the door. Also known as compression cam locks, these locks create a tighter hold than traditional cam locks, making them useful for doors that have a seal. To lock, turn the head a quarter turn, then another quarter turn to create compression and minimize rattling from vibration. They don’t extend inside your enclosure, so you can use the full space for other equipment.
Open these locks with a two-way key (sold separately). Also called a double-bit key, it matches a keying system that’s common for industrial enclosures and other machinery but is more secure than a hex key or screwdriver. These locks also have a flat, concealed design that stops others from tampering with them using pliers. They come with one cam with a fixed latching distance. Since you won’t have to adjust the cam into position, these locks are quick to install.

Pry-Resistant Swing-Handle Keyed Alike Cam Locks


Stop burglars from breaking in with saws, screwdrivers, pliers, and other common tools—these locks meet RC2 security standards. Often installed on server cabinets and electrical panels, they have a handle that swings smoothly when you lift it to latch and unlatch the door. The handle lies flat when locked, which means it won’t snag anything passing by. These locks are keyed alike, so choose them if you need several locks that open with the same key.
Also known as quarter-turn locks, these locks have a cam that rotates 90° as you swing the handle. They come with multiple cams, so you can change their fixed latching distance. An O-ring stops dust and water from getting into your sealed enclosure through the lock. This helps you maintain the enclosure’s IP65 rating. For extra protection, they also have a shutter that guards the cylinder from water and dust.
