Type 280 cam body is a surface mounted lock for locking doors or drawers, so it gives you a compact deadbolt-style locking point wherever you have a flat mounting surface. The lock is part of the CompX Timberline lock family, which helps keep hardware consistent across the job. All locks have 3/4 inch long cylinders, providing a predictable reach through standard thickness panels in this range. The cylinder body is a deadbolt lock class component, so it secures by projecting a cam rather than relying on spring latching. The product is identified as cylinder body, Type 280 and CB-280, tying it directly to Timberline layouts that call out this part. This cam body is designed for horizontal mount, so it lines the key orientation up for horizontal installations on typical cabinet doors or drawers.
This Type 280 cam body is a horizontal mount surface lock, so it is laid out with the cylinder axis running horizontally across the door or drawer front. The required 16.5 mm diameter bore hole defines the drilling size through the front, which simplifies setup for repetitive cabinet runs. All locks having 3/4 inch long cylinders means you can plan panel thickness and back clearance knowing the cylinder projection is consistent. The 180 degree key rotation factor sets how far the cam will swing between open and closed, which affects how you position the mating strike. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the user can remove the key once the preferred state is set, which is useful on cabinets that stay mostly in one position.
This cylinder body, Type 280, is specified as a surface mounted lock for locking doors or drawers, so it works on cabinet faces where a through-bore is acceptable. Being in the deadbolt locks product class, it is suited for applications where a projecting cam is used to secure a door or drawer to a strike point. The CompX Timberline lock branding ties it to Timberline systems in shops that already use this lock family. The 3/4 inch long cylinder dimension makes it appropriate for fronts that match this reach, allowing the cam to operate cleanly behind the panel. Since it is a horizontal mount design, it fits installations where the key orientation is expected to be horizontal, such as many drawer fronts in office or residential built-ins.
The CB-280 cylinder body having a defined 16.5 mm diameter bore hole requirement means boring is consistent across multiple case parts, reducing layout variation between cabinets. All locks using 3/4 inch long cylinders standardizes how far the cylinder extends, which supports repeatable spacing from the front face to the strike point. The 180 degree key rotation behavior determines the cam swing from locked to unlocked, helping installers set strike locations so that full rotation gives positive engagement. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions changes how the lock is used day to day, allowing the same hardware to support doors that stay locked or stay open without key storage at the cabinet. The tough nylon housing supports the cylinder in a stable body, which matters when drawers and doors are opened and closed repeatedly in normal use. These combined characteristics help the Type 280 cam body perform consistently across a run of cabinets using the same drilling and mounting approach.
The Type 280 cam body is a surface mounted lock in the deadbolt locks product class, so it secures doors or drawers by projecting a cam into a strike point.

The cylinder body uses a tough nylon housing, providing a strong non-metallic support for the lock mechanism in typical cabinet environments.
The Type 280 cam body, identified as CB-280, is a surface mounted lock for locking doors or drawers with a 3/4 inch long cylinder and 16.5 mm diameter bore requirement. Its horizontal mount layout, 180 degree key rotation, and key removable in both locked and unlocked positions support straightforward cabinet locking on Timberline-based projects. The tough nylon housing and deadbolt locks product class make it a practical choice when a compact cam body is needed for consistent locking along a run of cabinets.
