CompX Timberline Cam Lock, 13/16" Cam Extension, Vertical Mount with Off-Set Cam - CB-190

CompX Timberline Cam Lock For Cabinet Security

CompX Timberline cam lock gives a dedicated locking point for cabinet doors and drawers using a cylinder body matched to CompX Timberline lock plugs. The CB-190 version is designed for door or drawer locking in cabinetry, furniture, desks, and lockers, so one lock style can serve multiple casework types across a job. This cylinder body is built for 3/4 material thickness, which matches common panel stock in many cabinet and furniture builds, helping the cam sit in the right plane for reliable engagement. The cam length is 13/16, so when mounted, the cam reaches behind the strike area to capture the frame edge or strike hardware. The cam is set up for 180 degree cam rotation CCW, giving a clear quarter-turn feel from locked to unlocked within the defined travel. The CB-190 cylinder body works with CompX Timberline lock plugs ordered separately, allowing keying choices to follow the project key plan.

Key CB-190 Details That Support Real Jobs

• The cam lock for door or drawer locking in cabinetry, furniture, desks, and lockers lets one cylinder type handle varied casework, simplifying product selection on mixed installations.
• Design for 3/4 material thickness positions the cylinder correctly through standard panels, helping the 13/16 cam extension hit the strike point consistently.
• The cam length of 13/16 brings the rotating arm far enough past the panel interior to catch a cabinet frame or strike, providing positive lock engagement.
• Vertical mount orientation holds the cylinder so the key position and cam travel follow a predictable path, which aids user operation and layout of adjacent hardware.
• The 3/32 off-set cam shifts the cam face slightly from center, helping align the rotating edge with mating parts when the lock bore and strike must be offset.
• 180 degree cam rotation CCW establishes a fixed rotation pattern, so installers can align key positions and stops to match other locks using similar motion.

Vertical Mount Cam Lock Fit And Alignment

This CompX Timberline cylinder body is a vertical mount cam lock, so it is arranged to sit upright in the panel and operate with the key and plug oriented vertically. That vertical mount orientation keeps the 13/16 cam extension sweeping in a consistent arc behind the 3/4 material thickness, which supports predictable interference checks with shelves or dividers. The 3/32 off-set cam built into the CB-190 shifts the cam centerline slightly, which helps line up the locking edge with a frame, strike, or mating surface without changing the main bore position. With 180 degree cam rotation CCW, the lock transitions between positions with a half-turn, so layout around adjacent components can follow a known travel range.

Using The CB-190 Cam Lock In Cabinet Projects

Where This CompX Cam Lock Is Applied

The CB-190 cam lock cylinder body is specified as a cam lock for door or drawer locking in cabinetry, furniture, desks, and lockers, which places it directly in typical woodworking and commercial casework environments. Because it is designed for 3/4 material thickness, it aligns with common cabinet sides, drawer fronts, and locker doors that are built from this panel size, keeping the cylinder shoulder and cam plane coordinated with the panel surface. The 13/16 cam extension works behind those 3/4 panels so the rotating arm can reach a cabinet frame or fixed member without excessive projection. In a furniture or desk application, this same geometry helps the cam land on interior rails or dividers, supporting consistent lock-up across multiple compartments. In lockers, the cam action against a frame or strike benefits from the defined offset and reach provided by the 3/32 off-set cam and 13/16 cam length.

How CB-190 Design Supports Repeatable Locking

The vertical mount format of this CompX Timberline cam lock keeps the cylinder body and key path consistent across doors and drawers, which helps create uniform user interaction on a bank of cabinets. The specified 180 degree cam rotation CCW fixes the motion between locked and unlocked positions, so installers and users can expect the same half-turn behavior across all CB-190 locations. The 3/32 off-set cam positions the cam slightly off the lock center, which can reduce rework when aligning the rotating edge to an existing frame or strike in cabinetry, furniture, desks, or lockers. The 13/16 cam extension combines with design for 3/4 material thickness so the active cam surface sits where it can reliably clear the panel and engage a mating part. Because the CB-190 works with CompX Timberline lock plugs ordered separately, the cylinder body can be deployed widely while keying can be managed by selecting appropriate plugs for each project.
