CompX Timberline Cam Lock, 3/4" Material Thick, Vertical Mount with 15/32" Off-Set Cam - CB-095

CompX Timberline Cam Lock For 3/4 Inch Material

CompX Timberline cam lock is a dedicated cylinder body and cam assembly designed for 3/4 inch material thickness, so cabinet doors and drawers built from standard 3/4 inch panels can be locked without shimming or guesswork at the mounting face. The lock uses 90 degree CCW rotation to lock, which gives installers a predictable handle feel and a consistent stop point that is easy to repeat across multiple doors or drawers. This model is configured as a vertical mount with a 15/32 inch off-set cam, allowing the cam to reach behind the door or drawer front to engage a strike point when mounted through the panel. The 13/16 inch cam length positions the contact point for common cabinet, furniture, desk, and locker layouts. The lock plug is ordered separately, so keyed control can match existing CompX Timberline lock plug systems across a project.

Cam Lock Details That Support Cabinet Workflows

• The design for 3/4 inch material thickness sets the cam lock body depth for standard cabinet doors and drawers, which reduces layout time when boring through typical casework panels.
• The 90 degree CCW rotation to lock gives a short, defined throw for the cam, helping door or drawer fronts reach a secure position without needing multiple turns.
• The vertical mount configuration orients the cylinder so the keyway is upright, which helps align installations in doors and drawers that share a common vertical sight line.
• The 15/32 inch off-set cam positions the cam behind the door or drawer front, reaching a strike or frame edge that sits inboard of the panel surface.
• The 13/16 inch cam length creates a working reach that suits typical cabinet, furniture, desk, and locker construction where the locking point is close to the panel edge.

Vertical Mounting And Cam Alignment In Use

The vertical mount layout on this CompX Timberline cam lock sets the cylinder so the key plug turns around a vertical axis, which matches the way many doors and drawers present their faces and simplifies reading key position during use. With 90 degree cam rotation CCW to lock, the installer can position the cam so the unlocked state lines up with a horizontal or vertical reference, then rely on a quarter-turn to move the cam behind a strike plate or case member. The 15/32 inch off-set cam brings the cam tip inboard from the cylinder centerline, which allows the cam to bridge the reveal between the door or drawer front and the interior locking surface. A 13/16 inch cam length keeps that tip close enough to the panel edge to suit compact cabinet and furniture designs.

Using The CB-095 Cam Lock In Cabinet Projects

Door And Drawer Applications Across Casework

This CompX Timberline cam lock is specified for door and drawer applications in cabinetry, furniture, desks, and lockers, so a single cylinder body style can be repeated across mixed casework in the same space. The 3/4 inch material rating aligns with common panels in cabinet shops, allowing the same boring depth and through-hole location across doors and drawer fronts without changing setups. When installed in a door, the vertical mount orientation keeps the key slot upright, which provides a uniform appearance across multiple doors on a run. In drawers, that same vertical orientation lets the cam sweep across the back of the drawer front to catch a rail or fixed strike. Because the design serves cabinets, furniture, desks, and lockers, it supports projects that combine storage types under one locking standard.

Rotation, Offset, And Lock Plug Selection Impact

The defined 90 degree CCW rotation to lock means the cam travel is limited to a quarter turn, which can speed operation in busy environments where doors or drawers are accessed frequently. That short throw also limits how far the cam swings inside the cabinet, helping avoid interference with nearby shelves or dividers when the lock is positioned close to internal components. The 15/32 inch off-set cam shifts the working face of the cam away from the cylinder center, enabling engagement with a frame member that does not sit directly behind the mounting hole. Cam length at 13/16 inch gives a compact reach that suits tight clearances behind doors and drawer fronts. The product requires ordering the CompX Timberline lock plug separately, which allows the keying setup to match an existing CompX Timberline system or to build a new keyed group using that plug line.
