CompX Timberline cam lock gives a keyed locking point for doors or drawers built in 3/4 inch material thickness, so cabinet, furniture, desk, or locker fronts can be secured at the panel where the user needs control. The CB-099 cylinder body uses a vertical mount with a 7/8 inch off-set cam, placing the cam throw away from the cylinder centerline to reach behind the strike or cabinet frame. A 1-1/4 inch cam length extends that reach, allowing the cam to engage locking edges further from the lock bore. The lock operates with 90 degree counter-clockwise cam rotation to lock, giving a clear, repeatable motion that aligns with standard Timberline key-plug operation. The product is supplied as a cylinder body and installed flat cam only, so the same body can be matched with the separate CompX Timberline lock plug that fits the project keying plan.
The vertical mount configuration sets the CompX Timberline CB-099 so the cylinder body stands upright, giving a familiar orientation when boring doors or drawer fronts in cabinetry, furniture, desks, or lockers. This layout positions the 7/8 inch off-set cam to swing across the inside face of the panel, letting the cam sweep behind rails, mullions, or case sides without binding. The 1-1/4 inch cam length works with the 3/4 inch material design so that, once installed, the active edge of the cam passes reliably behind the chosen strike point. With 90 degree counter-clockwise rotation to lock, installers can set the resting and locked positions of the cam around that quarter-turn, which simplifies marking the strike contact area and matching multiple openings to the same motion pattern.
The CB-099 cylinder body is described as a CompX Timberline cam lock for door or drawer locking in cabinetry, furniture, desks, or lockers, so it is suited to casework where a rotating cam needs to capture behind a frame or cabinet wall. The description states it is for 3/4 inch material thickness, which matches common cabinet doors and drawer fronts, letting the lock sit correctly in the panel depth. The 7/8 inch off-set cam with 1-1/4 inch cam length means the rotating arm can reach from the cylinder bore to contact interior parts of the case, so the same lock body can serve doors that close against face frames or frameless cabinet edges. Because the application covers both doors and drawers, the cylinder can be positioned along stiles, rails, or drawer headers while still presenting the cam to a fixed catch point.
The operation is specified as 90 degree cam rotation counter-clockwise to lock, so every installation using the CB-099 follows that same quarter-turn motion, which aids in setting cam start and stop positions consistently from one opening to the next. That defined rotation works hand-in-hand with the vertical mount orientation, because the cam swing relative to the cabinet edge is predictable when planning strikes or case cutouts. The presence of a 7/8 inch off-set cam already installed on the cylinder body means the effective throw is displaced from the cylinder centerline by a known amount, reducing trial-and-error when lining up the cam behind a frame. The 1-1/4 inch cam length, working with material thickness of 3/4 inch, lets the rotating arm project far enough past the door or drawer back to catch on cabinet structure while remaining compact enough to operate within typical furniture interior clearances.
The CompX Timberline cam lock CB-099 is described for door or drawer locking in cabinetry, furniture, desks, or lockers, so it suits many casework projects needing a rotating cam lock point.
The CB-099 is specified for 3/4 inch material thickness, which positions the cylinder and cam to work correctly in common cabinet doors and drawer fronts without changing panel construction.
The CB-099 uses 90 degree counter-clockwise cam rotation to lock, so the cam moves through a quarter turn into the strike, giving a short, predictable locking motion at each opening.
The 7/8 inch off-set cam shifts the locking contact away from the cylinder centerline, helping the cam reach behind face frames or case edges where a straight cam may not align.
The 1-1/4 inch cam length on the CB-099 extends the reach inside the cabinet, so the cam can engage rails, frames, or sides that sit farther from the lock bore.
The description states to order the CompX Timberline lock plug separately, so the CB-099 cylinder body works with that plug to establish the keying and actual key operation.
The CompX Timberline cam lock CB-099 pairs a cylinder body, vertical mount layout, and 7/8 inch off-set, 1-1/4 inch cam to handle locking for 3/4 inch thick cabinet doors and drawers. This configuration suits cabinetry, furniture, desks, and lockers where a rotating cam must reach behind a frame or case wall. With 90 degree counter-clockwise rotation to lock, it delivers a defined cam motion that simplifies lining up multiple openings to the same lock action. For projects that standardize on CompX Timberline key systems, the CB-099 body works with the separately ordered Timberline lock plug so the same hardware can be keyed to the desired plan.
