    About Cam Locks and Latches
    industrial info icon

    Choose between straight and offset cams depending on the distance your latch needs to reach.

    Knob Cam Latches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cam Locks and Latches. Knob Cam Latches.
    With a finger-grip knob, these latches fit where latches with handles won't. Select the turn direction when mounting the cam. The cam rotates to secure your enclosure.
    Fixed Latching Distance—These latches have one or more cams that each have a fixed latching distance. Multiple cams accommodate different latching distances.
    Adjustable Latching Distance—These latches adapt to 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 install them.
    Enclosure Rating—Latches with an enclosure rating seal out dust and water. They help maintain your enclosure's IP or NEMA rating.

    Knob Spring-Cam Latches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cam Locks and Latches. Knob Spring-Cam Latches.
    These latches 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 knob 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.
    Adjustable Latching Distance—These latches adapt to 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 install them.
    Serrated Spring—Best for high-vibration applications, these latches grip tighter than those with a smooth-spring cam to help retain their hold.

    Compression Knob Cam Latches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cam Locks and Latches. Compression Knob Cam Latches.
    The knob on these latches is easy to grip and less likely to snag straps or clothing than T- or L-handle latches. Useful for doors with a seal, they create a tighter hold than traditional cam latches. Turn the knob a quarter turn to latch, then another quarter turn to create compression and minimize rattling from vibration.
    Fixed Latching Distance—These latches have one or more cams that each have a fixed latching distance. Multiple cams accommodate different latching distances.
    Adjustable Latching Distance—These latches adapt to 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 install them.

    Padlockable Knob Cam Latches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cam Locks and Latches. Padlockable Knob Cam Latches.
    To fit in tight areas, these latches have a knob instead of a handle. Turn the knob 90° and the cam rotates to hold your enclosure shut. Use the included hardware to choose which direction the latch rotates 90° or leave out the hardware so the cam rotates 180°. If you add a padlock for extra security, the knob can’t turn.
    Fixed Latching Distance—These latches have one or more cams that each have a fixed latching distance. Multiple cams accommodate different latching distances.
