Type 290 cam body is a surface mounted lock body designed for locking doors where a compact deadbolt-style solution is needed. This CompX Timberline lock body uses a 3/4 inch long cylinder, so it suits layouts built around that standard cylinder depth. The cylinder body requires a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, which gives installers a clear drilling dimension for consistent front drilling on cabinet or casework doors. A vertical mount layout supports straight-line linkage to the strike, helping doors close and lock in a predictable path. The tough nylon housing provides a durable body around the cylinder, so the lock body resists routine door use in typical woodworking environments. The CB-290 cylinder body works with separate Timberline lock plugs and strikes, allowing installers to match finishes like Bright Nickel or Black to the project while using this same body.
This CompX Timberline lock body mounts vertically, so the installer orients the Type 290 cam body with the cylinder axis arranged for straight up-and-down cam action at the strike. The 16.5 mm diameter bore hole requirement defines the main drilling step, allowing a standard metric bit to create the cylinder opening through the door. With a 3/4 inch long cylinder, the CB-290 suits doors sized around that cylinder length, helping maintain proper seating of the body against the door face. Surface mounting focuses work on the door front, which allows locking to be added to doors already hung on cases or frames. The nylon housing around the cylinder stabilizes the assembly during mounting, helping the cylinder stay aligned with the drilled bore over repeated key cycles.
The Type 290 cam body for Timberline locks serves as a surface mounted lock body for doors on cabinets or similar casework where key control is required. As a deadbolt lock class product, this CB-290 cylinder body provides a positive locking point at the strike location once a compatible lock plug and strike are used. The 3/4 inch long cylinder format fits projects planned for Timberline cylinders of that length, which helps keep door thickness and drill-through assumptions consistent across multiple units. Because the lock is surface mounted, it suits doors that already have finished edges, since the main modification is the 16.5 mm diameter bore hole and mounting footprint on the door face. The vertical mount orientation supports straight-line engagement with a matching strike, which is common on cabinet doors and similar hinged panels.
The CB-290 cylinder body uses a defined 16.5 mm bore hole size, giving shop crews a single drill size to set up for this body on production lines or repeat retrofit jobs. That fixed bore diameter keeps the cylinder properly supported by the door material, which helps the nylon housing sit tight against the face without excess play. The 3/4 inch cylinder length standardizes the projection of the cylinder through the door, giving a predictable key reach and cam position behind the door skin. Vertical mounting simplifies cam alignment for installers, since the travel matches typical vertical strike positions in Timberline lock layouts. The tough nylon housing around the cylinder protects the internal lock body in everyday use, so the cam action remains consistent over many lock and unlock cycles on cabinet or furniture doors. Together, these defined dimensions and materials help installers achieve uniform drilling, mounting, and key operation across multiple doors using this Type 290 cam body.
