Type 232 cam body is a surface mounted lock body designed for CompX Timberline locks, so it provides a dedicated solution when you are building or servicing Timberline-based door and drawer locking. The cylinder body is classed as a deadbolt lock, so it delivers straightforward on/off locking for basic cabinet security in woodworking projects. All locks in this Type 232 family have a 3/4 inch long cylinder, which keeps the lock profile compact while still giving enough engagement length for typical cabinet door and drawer fronts. The design uses a 2-5/8 inch cam length, so it reaches across common door or drawer edge distances in casework built for Timberline components. The lock body is intended for horizontal mount applications, so it suits layouts where the cylinder must sit parallel to the cabinet top or shelf.
The Type 232 cam body is described as a horizontal mount lock body for Timberline installations, so it is suited to layouts where the cylinder axis runs horizontally across the cabinet face. The specified 16.5 mm diameter bore hole gives you a defined interface between the cylinder body and the cabinet substrate, helping align the cylinder squarely to the door or drawer front. With all locks using a 3/4 inch long cylinder, you know the projection through the bore remains consistent from job to job, which is useful when matching face thicknesses on a run of cabinets. The 2-5/8 inch cam length works together with the cylinder length to reach the strike location in typical Timberline-based constructions.
The CB-232 cylinder body is specified as a surface mounted lock for locking doors or drawers, so it fits directly into cabinet, furniture, and fixture work where Timberline locks are part of the design. As a CompX Timberline lock body in the deadbolt locks class, it suits projects needing a simple extend-and-retract cam motion rather than multi-point engagement. The 2-5/8 inch cam length works on many cabinet door and drawer geometries where the strike sits back from the front edge, so one body style can serve several case dimensions built around Timberline standards. Its horizontal mount orientation supports layouts where the lock barrel must run parallel to shelves or countertop edges, which is common in side-mounted door and drawer applications. Because all locks in this Type 232 series share the 3/4 inch long cylinder, production runs can use common drilling depths and front machining.
The Type 232 cam body requires a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, so once that bore size is built into shop patterns, every cabinet opened for this body will seat the cylinder the same way. The 180 degree key rotation gives a direct, half-turn action from locked to unlocked, which makes cam position easy to read and reduces uncertainty when you are aligning strikes to the cam throw. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the lock does not depend on key storage in one specific state, so users can remove keys after locking or after unlocking without changing the hardware. The tough nylon housing guards the cylinder body, giving a resilient shell around the mechanism that holds up under repeated locking cycles in typical woodworking environments. As a cylinder body identified by manufacturer part CB-232, it provides a clear reference when matching lock bodies to Timberline lock plugs and strikes in a parts list.
