CompX Timberline cam lock is a cylinder body designed for door or drawer locking in cabinetry, furniture, desks, and lockers, so it provides a focused solution when a compact cam lock is needed in woodwork projects. This cylinder body is suited for 3/4 inch material thickness, which aligns the cam properly through standard cabinet doors or drawer fronts used in many shop builds. The lock uses a vertical mount layout, so the body sits upright in the panel and positions the cam to engage a strike or frame member in a straight path. A 7/8 inch off-set cam is installed on the body, which steps the cam outward from the mounting centerline to pick up locking points that sit away from the panel face. The cam length of 1-1/4 inch extends reach so the locking tab can swing behind a frame or keeper in common cabinet constructions.
This cam lock cylinder body uses a vertical mount configuration, so the installer positions the lock with the plug axis straight up and down in the panel. That orientation helps create a predictable swing path for the cam and makes layout for door or drawer edges more straightforward. The body is intended for 3/4 inch material thickness, which means standard cabinet boring depths place the cam behind the door or drawer front where it can rotate into a frame or strike. The installed 7/8 inch off-set cam shifts the locking tab away from the cylinder centerline, allowing it to bridge the gap between the door or drawer and the case side or frame. With a 1-1/4 inch cam length, the extension reaches deeper into the cabinet opening so the cam can engage behind rails, stretchers, or dividers.
This CompX Timberline cylinder body is described as a cam lock for door or drawer locking in cabinetry, furniture, desks, and lockers, so it fits directly into casework where panels swing or slide and need a rotating tab to hold them closed. In a typical cabinet, the 3/4 inch material thickness rating aligns the cylinder in doors or drawer fronts built from standard sheet goods, helping the cam clear the edge and rotate freely. The vertical mount orientation keeps the cam swing consistent from unit to unit, which supports repeatable layout across banks of cabinets or a row of lockers. Because the body is part of a cam lock system, it serves as the central rotating element that converts key motion into cam movement against a frame member, keeping the door or drawer secured.
The CB-199 cylinder body is supplied with a 7/8 inch off-set cam installed, which positions the cam away from the mounting center to reach strikes or case edges set back from the door or drawer front. That off-set allows the same bore location to serve different cabinet reveals while still bringing the cam into solid contact with a keeper surface. The cam length of 1-1/4 inch provides additional extension into the opening, so the cam can swing behind a rail or divider instead of only catching the immediate edge, improving holding strength in many layouts. Operation is defined as 180 degree cam rotation counterclockwise, so the cam moves through a half-turn arc from locked to unlocked. That fixed rotation pattern gives installers a predictable relationship between cylinder position and cam location, which supports accurate alignment of strikes or frame contact points.
The CB-199 is a CompX Timberline cam lock cylinder body, so it uses a rotating cam to secure doors or drawers in cabinetry, furniture, desks, and lockers.
The 3/4 inch material thickness rating means the lock positions correctly in standard cabinet doors and drawer fronts, so the cam sits behind the panel and can rotate into the frame area.
Vertical mount means the cylinder installs with its axis upright, which creates a consistent cam swing path for aligning locking points on doors, drawers, and casework members.
The 7/8 inch off-set cam shifts the cam away from the cylinder centerline, allowing it to reach case sides or strikes set back from the door or drawer front in many cabinet designs.
The 1-1/4 inch cam length extends deeper into the opening, so the cam can swing behind rails, stretchers, or dividers to hold doors or drawers more securely.
The 180 degree CCW cam rotation defines a half-turn counterclockwise movement from locked to unlocked, providing predictable cam travel when positioning strikes or frame contacts.
The CompX Timberline CB-199 cylinder body combines a vertical mount layout, 3/4 inch material thickness rating, and a 7/8 inch off-set, 1-1/4 inch cam to address common cabinet, furniture, desk, and locker locking points. Its role as a cam lock for door or drawer locking means it fits directly into casework designs where a rotating tab must engage a frame, rail, or divider. The defined 180 degree counterclockwise cam rotation, along with the specified off-set and length, gives installers clear movement and reach parameters to plan bore locations and strikes. For projects using the CompX Timberline lock family, this type 199 cylinder body helps maintain consistent locking function across multiple units.
