Circular-Keyway Cam Locks

Use these locks in a 3/4" dia. through hole, which is the most common through-hole size. Offering more security than standard keyed cam locks, these have circular keys that are difficult to duplicate. They also have a tubular pin tumbler, which makes them difficult to pick.
Choose these locks if you need locks that each open with a different key. Select the turn direction when mounting the cam. Each lock comes with a straight cam and a reversible offset cam to accommodate different latching distances.
