Type 241 Cam Body is a surface mounted lock body for CompX Timberline locks that secures doors or drawers in cabinet projects. This cylinder body uses a 1-3/8 inch cam length, so it reaches standard door and drawer edges for positive engagement. All locks in this Type 241 family have 3/4 inch long cylinders, which helps installers plan consistent boring depth across multiple cabinets. The cylinder body is designed for vertical mount applications, keeping the cam action aligned for doors and drawers that open in a typical up-and-down orientation. This product belongs to the deadbolt locks class, giving a positive lock position when paired with the correct cam and strike. The unit is identified by manufacturer part number CB-241, which ties directly to Timberline component charts and shop lists.
This Type 241 cylinder body is built for vertical mount orientation, aligning the cam rotation for standard cabinet door and drawer layouts where the lock rotates around a vertical centerline. Installation requires a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, so boring operations can be set precisely for this metric size before mounting the body. The 3/4 inch long cylinder dimension ties directly to door or drawer thickness planning, allowing the cylinder body to sit correctly in the bore while leaving enough projection for the lock plug style chosen. The surface mounted design means the body seats against the interior face of the cabinet component after boring, using the cam length and strike location to establish final lock engagement.
The Type 241 Cam Body for Timberline locks is specified for locking cabinet doors or drawers, so it fits directly into typical residential or commercial cabinetry that needs key control. Because the design is surface mounted, it works well on cabinet interiors where the lock body can sit against the inside panel while the cylinder passes through the 16.5 mm bore hole. The 1-3/8 inch cam length supports layouts where the cylinder centerline is set back from the cabinet edge, allowing the cam to reach a properly positioned strike. With its 3/4 inch long cylinder dimension, this CB-241 body aligns with standard material thicknesses commonly used in woodworking, simplifying the relationship between bore depth and cam reach.
The vertical mount orientation directs the cam motion to operate reliably on doors and drawers that move in a conventional way, giving predictable engagement with the mating strike when the key turns. As a deadbolt lock class component, this cylinder body is part of an assembly that provides a fixed locked position rather than a spring latch, which is useful where a positive lock state is required. The CB-241 identifier helps shops repeat successful layouts, since the same body can be paired with different Timberline lock plugs to match project finishes while keeping the mechanical layout identical from job to job.
The requirement for a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole sets a controlled interface between the cabinet panel and the cylinder body, so drill press or CNC programs can be standardized across many pieces. Using a 3/4 inch long cylinder across all locks in this Type 241 line supports consistent tooling and reduces layout variation, because the projection from the panel to the cam pivot remains the same. The 1-3/8 inch cam length then builds on that fixed geometry to reach the strike point, which helps maintain uniform clearances and locking action from cabinet to cabinet.
The lock design allows 180 degree key rotation with the key removable in both locked and unlocked positions, giving end users a clear tactile indication of fully turned positions while still letting them remove the key at either stop. This dual-position key removal also means the cylinder body does not depend on key retention to stay in a preferred state, which simplifies user habits in shared or light commercial settings. The tough nylon housing surrounding the mechanism provides a durable structural shell around the cylinder, supporting the internal components while remaining suitable for typical cabinet environments where metal-to-wood contact may be less desirable.
The Type 241 Cam Body is a surface mounted deadbolt class lock body for CompX Timberline, giving a positive lock position on cabinet doors or drawers when paired with the proper cam and strike.
The CB-241 cylinder body requires a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole, so drilling operations can be set specifically to that size for a proper cylinder-to-panel fit.
This Type 241 cam body uses a 3/4 inch long cylinder, which standardizes boring depth and helps match typical cabinet material thicknesses in production runs.
The Type 241 cam body is specified with a 1-3/8 inch cam length, giving reach from the cylinder centerline to the strike point on standard cabinet door and drawer layouts.
The Type 241 lock body uses 180 degree key rotation, with the key removable in both locked and unlocked positions, allowing users to remove the key at either end of travel.
The CB-241 lock body uses a tough nylon housing, providing a non-metallic structural shell around the cylinder suited to typical cabinet environments.
The Type 241 Cam Body with 1-3/8 inch cam length, 3/4 inch cylinder, and 16.5 mm bore requirement offers a defined set of dimensions for cabinet locking layouts. The surface mounted, vertical mount design fits straightforwardly into door and drawer projects that need a deadbolt style Timberline solution. Pairing the CB-241 cylinder body with the appropriate Timberline lock plug and strike aligns finish choices with a known mechanical layout, letting shops repeat successful installations across multiple jobs.
