Type 250 Cam Body for Timberline Locks, Surface Mount, Double Door Lock

Type 250 Cam Body For Double Door Security

Type 250 Cam Body is a Timberline Type 250 double door lock body that surface mounts, so it provides a deadbolt-style lock point without routing the door, which helps keep fabrication straightforward on new or retrofit cabinet jobs. This CompX Timberline Lock cylinder body is designed specifically as a double door lock, so one lock body handles two adjacent doors, which reduces layout time compared with installing separate locks. The cylinder body is part of the Timberline Type 250 system, so it works within a familiar platform when you are standardizing locks across a project. This CB-250 cylinder body is a deadbolt lock, so it locks without relying on a spring catch, which means the doors stay secure without needing door pressure against a latch. The lock body is surface mounted, which lets you work from the cabinet face and keep tool setups simple on site or in the shop.

Key Type 250 Cam Body Details For Projects

• Timberline Type 250 double door lock function locks two adjacent doors with one surface mounted body, which streamlines layout and keeps the door faces consistent when you are aligning a run of cabinets.
• The CB-250 cylinder body locks both doors without the use of a spring catch, so the bolts hold the doors in position, which matters when clearances vary and you still need positive locking without relying on door tension.
• This CompX Timberline Lock cylinder body works with either overlay or inset doors, so one part number covers common door conditions, which simplifies ordering and helps keep van stock under control across different cabinet lines.
• The Timberline Type 250 double door lock requires a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, so the drilling step is clearly defined, which helps you set up jigs and bits for repeatable, accurate boring on multiple cabinets.
• Key operation is counterclockwise to lock and the key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, so users can remove the key after either action, which supports straightforward key control on finished installations.

Surface Mount Timberline Lock Installation Details

This surface mounted double door lock body is designed to install on the cabinet so the Timberline Type 250 mechanism sits on the door surface, which lets you work with basic drilling and screw fastening instead of mortising. The lock requires a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, so the cylinder seats properly in a consistent hole size, which supports using standard metric boring equipment or dedicated jigs. Because the CB-250 works with either overlay or inset doors, you can apply the same installation concept across different door reveals, which is useful on mixed-layout projects. Key rotation is counterclockwise to lock, so orientation is predictable across all doors using this Timberline Type 250 body, which helps avoid user confusion. The key can be removed in both locked and unlocked positions, which allows custodial or shop personnel to lock or open and then carry the key away.

Using The CB-250 Cylinder Body In The Field

Where Timberline Type 250 Double Door Locks Fit

The Timberline Type 250 double door lock surface mounted lock is intended for locking two adjacent doors on a cabinet or similar casework, so one lock body secures both openings, which is efficient on wide storage units. Because the CB-250 works with either overlay or inset doors, it fits many standard cabinet construction styles, which lets you keep the same lock family even when face-frame and frameless units appear on the same project. This cylinder body is part of the Timberline Type 250 system, so it matches Timberline locks already in service where that system is specified, which supports consistent hardware selection across a facility. The product sits in the Locks and Latches and Deadbolt Locks classes, so it functions as a deadbolt-style solution when a keyed lock is needed on cabinet doors.

Details That Support Repeatable Locking Results

The CB-250 cylinder body locks both doors without the use of a spring catch, so the locking action does not depend on spring tension, which helps maintain consistent engagement when doors or frames move slightly over time. Because it is a deadbolt lock within the Timberline Type 250 line, the bolt throws into the mating components positively, which supports repeatable alignment when multiple cabinets on a job use the same layout. Key rotation counterclockwise to lock standardizes how users operate all Timberline Type 250 double door lock stations, which reduces orientation mistakes in everyday use. The key being removable in both locked and unlocked positions lets users complete the action they need and then pocket the key, which is important when multiple cabinets share keyed control. TLSP100 and TLSP257 strike plates are sold separately, one of each required per lock, so each CB-250 cylinder body is paired with its specific strike components for proper door engagement. The CB-250 uses a separate lock plug, ordered by finish from the Timberline lock plug series referenced by part numbers TLLP100, TLLP200, TLLP300, TLLP400, TLLP500, TLLP600, and TLLP800, which lets you match plug finish to the project hardware schedule while using the same lock body.
