CompX Timberline Cam Lock, 3/4" Material Thick, 90 Degree CCW Rotation with Vertical Mount - CB-093
Description
CompX Timberline Cam Lock For 3/4 Inch Panels
CompX Timberline cam lock is a cylinder body designed for vertical mount applications in 3/4 inch thick material, so cabinet and casework panels at that thickness can be locked with a consistent cam location. This CB-093 cylinder body uses a 3/4 inch long cylinder, which positions the locking mechanism correctly through the material so the cam can engage reliably on the backside. The lock uses 90 degree rotation, so the key turns through a quarter turn to move the cam between locked and unlocked positions in a repeatable way. Rotation is counter clockwise in the locked position, which sets a predictable key direction for users and allows layouts that match other locks using the same motion. All locks require a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, so boring operations can be standardized using that single bit size across related jobs.
Key CB-093 Cam Lock Details For Projects
- All locks require a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, which allows a single standard drill or boring setup to be used anywhere this CB-093 cylinder body is installed.
- The cylinder body is designed to mount in 3/4 inch thick material, so common cabinet sides, doors, and panels at that thickness align properly with the lock face.
- The 3/4 inch long cylinder matches the 3/4 inch material thickness, positioning the cam on the back side where it can catch strikes or frames without extra spacers.
- Locks must be installed to lock in a counter clockwise position, giving a consistent key-turn direction that simplifies user training and layout planning.
- 90 degree rotation moves the cam through a quarter turn, providing a clear locked and unlocked stop that is easy to feel during use.
Vertical Mount Cam Lock Installation Details
This cylinder body is designed for vertical mount, so the lock face is oriented upright on the front of 3/4 inch material while the cam operates behind the panel. All locks require a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, which allows the body to pass cleanly through the panel and seat correctly. The CB-093 uses a 3/4 inch long cylinder that aligns with 3/4 inch thick material, so the front flange rests on the outside surface while the cylinder length reaches just through the panel for proper cam positioning. Locks must be installed to lock in a counter clockwise position, so the installer or shop can orient the cam accordingly during layout.
Using The CB-093 Cam Lock In Cabinet Work
Where This 3/4 Inch Cam Lock Fits Best
This CompX Timberline CB-093 cylinder body is designed to mount in 3/4 inch thick material, which matches common cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and casework panels in many woodworking projects. The required 16.5 mm diameter bore hole establishes the interface between the lock and the panel, so any location that can be bored to that size can accept this cam lock body. The 3/4 inch long cylinder is matched to the material thickness, so when the bore is drilled and the body is installed from the front, the cylinder extends through to the back surface without excessive projection. Because this model is specified as a vertical mount cam lock, it suits layouts where the key is used in an upright orientation, such as on the face of cabinet doors or vertical access panels.
How Rotation And Lock Direction Support Consistency
The CB-093 cylinder body is built for 90 degree rotation, moving the cam through a quarter turn between locked and unlocked positions so users feel distinct stops at each position. Locks must be installed to lock in a counter clockwise position, which defines the direction the key turns into the locked state and keeps that motion consistent across identical installations. That counter clockwise lock position matters when multiple doors or panels are equipped with these locks, because the same turning direction can be repeated from cabinet to cabinet. The required 16.5 mm diameter bore hole and 3/4 inch long cylinder also work together to place the cam at a predictable setback behind 3/4 inch panels, helping align strikes or frames to the same distance.
Common Questions About The CB-093 Cam Lock
What panel thickness does the CB-093 cam lock fit?
The CB-093 cylinder body is designed to mount in 3/4 inch thick material, so it aligns with common cabinet doors and panels built from that thickness.
What bore hole size is required for this cam lock?
This CompX Timberline cam lock requires a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, so drilling or boring operations are set to that single dimension.
How far does the CB-093 cylinder reach through the material?
The CB-093 uses a 3/4 inch long cylinder, which reaches through 3/4 inch thick material so the cam sits at the back surface ready to engage.
In which direction does this cam lock secure the door?
This cylinder body must be installed to lock in a counter clockwise position, so the key turns counter clockwise to reach the locked state.
How far does the key rotate between locked and unlocked?
The CompX Timberline cam lock uses 90 degree rotation, meaning the key moves through a quarter turn between locked and unlocked positions.
Is the CB-093 suitable for vertical mounting on cabinet doors?
The CB-093 cylinder body is described as a vertical mount cam lock, so it suits upright key orientation on cabinet doors or similar panels.
Selecting This 3/4 Inch Vertical Cam Lock
The CB-093 CompX Timberline cam lock cylinder body combines 3/4 inch material mounting, a 3/4 inch long cylinder, and a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole requirement, so cabinet and casework designs built around those dimensions can use a consistent lock prep. Its 90 degree rotation and counter clockwise lock position give a clear, repeatable key motion that can be matched across multiple doors or panels. For projects that call for a vertical mount cam lock in 3/4 inch stock, this cylinder body offers a defined geometry and motion that support predictable layouts.
