LC-150 1/2" Lockbar Clip

LC-150 1/2 Lockbar Clip For System 150

LC-150 1/2 Lockbar Clip identifies this CompX Timberline lockbar component as part of the System 150 drawer lock system, which helps installers match the correct clip to the side mounted gang lock layout. The LC-150 part designation connects directly to the LOCKBAR CLIP, SYS 150 description, keeping ordering and replacement tied to the System 150 setup. As a component in a drawer lock system classified under Locks and Latches and Gang Locks, Cylinder Bodies, it supports secure multi-drawer applications where a single control line operates several drawers. Being part of a System 150 side mounted gang lock for multiple drawers means this clip participates in coordinating the lock bar movement along the cabinet side, which matters when building or servicing banks of drawers in casework or commercial millwork.

Lockbar Clip Details That Support Drawer Runs

• The System 150 side mounted Gang Lock for multiple drawers uses a coordinated lock bar, so this lockbar clip helps translate cylinder motion to the bar, which keeps multiple drawers tied to a single lock point.
• A full 1/2 inch Lock Bar Throw works with the clip to drive the bar through its complete travel, which matters for positive lock and unlock positions across all connected drawers.
• Fitting within 1/2 inch drawer slide side clearance means the System 150 lock bar and its clip operate in the narrow space beside the drawer, preserving usable drawer width in cabinet construction.
• Design for 3/4 inch panels aligns the System 150 lockbar and clip position with common cabinet side thickness, which helps layout when drilling the lock hole and routing the groove for the lock bar.
• Minimal machining defined as a lock hole and bar groove simplifies the preparation around the area where the lockbar clip engages the bar, saving layout and tool time on production or retrofit jobs.

Installation Layout Around System 150 Lockbar

System 150 is described as a side mounted Gang Lock for multiple drawers, so the lockbar clip works on the cabinet side where the bar runs. The specified minimal machining requirement of a Lock Hole only plus a groove for the Lock Bar means the clip functions with straightforward cabinet side preparation and does not demand complex cutouts near the lock run. Because the System 150 components are designed for 3/4 inch panels, the lockbar path and clip position align with that panel thickness, which makes drilling and grooving operations more predictable along the case side.

Using The LC-150 Lockbar Clip In Drawer Banks

Where The LC-150 1/2 Lockbar Clip Is Applied

The LC-150 1/2 Lockbar Clip is part of the System 150 side mounted Gang Lock for multiple drawers, so it serves in drawer banks where one control line operates several fronts. Since System 150 is a drawer lock system, the clip works along the lock bar that travels beside the drawers to engage or release them together. The specified fit within 1/2 inch drawer slide side clearance places this clip and its bar in the tight space between the drawer box and cabinet side, enabling the gang lock to function without consuming extra width. This focus on a 1/2 inch side clearance suits cabinet designs that already rely on that spacing for drawer slide systems, helping keep the lock components aligned with typical woodworking layouts.

Why System 150 Details Matter For Consistent Results

The full 1/2 inch Lock Bar Throw specification gives the lockbar clip a defined travel range to work with, which supports clear locked and unlocked positions across all drawers tied to the bar. By fitting within 1/2 inch drawer slide side clearance, the System 150 components, including the clip, avoid conflicts with the drawer motion zone, which helps prevent interference along the run. Design for 3/4 inch panels ties the bar and clip geometry to a common cabinet side thickness, aiding repeatable machining when laying out multiple cases or modular sections. Minimal Machining required, stated as Lock Hole only and groove for Lock Bar, keeps the work focused on two straightforward operations, which suits both shop production and on-site modifications where consistent lockbar clip engagement is needed.
