Type 242 cam body is a surface mounted lock for locking doors, giving you a compact cylinder body designed for deadbolt-style security on cabinet or furniture doors where face mounting is preferred. This CompX Timberline Lock cylinder body uses a 2-5/8 inch cam length, so the cam reach matches installations that are set up for that throw, helping the bolt engage the strike reliably. All locks have 3/4 inch long cylinders, which keeps the body profile shallow while still providing enough engagement through a 16.5mm diameter bore hole in the door. The unit is built around a tough nylon housing, so the body resists everyday cabinet use while keeping weight down in the door. Key rotation is 180 degrees with the key removable in both locked and unlocked positions, allowing straightforward key handling during normal operation.
This vertical mount Type 242 cam body is set up for surface mounting on doors, so the body sits on the interior face while the cylinder passes through the 16.5mm diameter bore hole. The specified 2-5/8 inch cam length pairs with that vertical mount orientation, helping the cam line up with a properly placed strike on the cabinet frame or companion panel. All locks have 3/4 inch long cylinders, which defines how far the plug extends through the drilled hole and affects where the body sits on the inside of the door. Because the lock uses a tough nylon housing, the mounting face stays rigid around the fastener locations, supporting accurate positioning when tightening the lock body down during assembly.
The CB-242 cylinder body is a surface mounted lock for locking doors, so it is suited to cabinet or furniture doors that need a deadbolt-style Timberline lock without complex mortising. Its 2-5/8 inch cam length allows the cam to reach across to a mating strike positioned to accept that throw on the frame, making it appropriate for doors with that specific offset. The required 16.5mm diameter bore hole matches the cylinder size, giving a snug fit that keeps the body centered in the door and supports smooth key operation. With all locks using a 3/4 inch long cylinder, the product lends itself to door constructions that match that thickness range, aligning the face of the cylinder neatly with the front of the panel. The tough nylon housing suits everyday commercial or shop cabinetry where multiple locking doors are used throughout the workspace.
The 3/4 inch long cylinder on this Type 242 cam body determines how the cylinder seats in a 16.5mm diameter bore hole, which directly affects how the cam sits relative to the edge of the door and the strike. When the 2-5/8 inch cam length is matched to a correctly located strike, the deadbolt action closes firmly, reducing play at the door edge during locking. The vertical mount configuration keeps the housing aligned in one consistent orientation, which helps maintain uniform key position across multiple doors on a bank of cabinets. The tough nylon housing supports the mechanism so the cylinder remains stable under repeated locking cycles. With 180 degree key rotation and key removable in both locked and unlocked positions, users can turn the key through a clear half-turn to change state, then remove it without fighting spring tension at awkward angles. That predictable motion matters when a number of doors are fitted with the same CompX Timberline Lock system in a shop or office and are used frequently throughout the day.
