CompX Timberline CB-357 Glass Door Lock (1/4 - 5/16 Thick) Cylinder Body Only, Non-Bore Style, Horizontal Mount, Satin Nickel, CB-357

CompX Timberline CB-357 Glass Lock For Showcase Doors

CompX Timberline CB-357 glass door lock gives swing style glass cabinet doors a keyed locking point directly on the glass edge, providing a compact way to secure bypassing and showcase displays. This non-bore glass door lock slips onto the edge of the glass door at any location, so the installer positions the lock where it best suits the cabinet layout and user access. The lock is designed for glass doors from 1/4 to 5/16 inch thick, matching common showcase and display door glass sizes in commercial and shop-built cases. The lock body is fully cushioned, so the contact between metal and glass is buffered to help protect the glass edge during normal opening and closing. A satin nickel finish on the cylinder body presents a neutral, professional appearance that blends with typical satin nickel hinges, pulls, and surrounding hardware in retail, office, or residential cabinetry.

Key Details That Streamline Glass Door Securing

• The non-bore glass door design lets the lock slip onto the edge of the glass door at any point, giving flexibility when working with existing doors where drilling the glass is not desired.
• Horizontal and vertical mount styles are available that lock to the side or bottom of the cabinet, respectively, so the installer can align the lock engagement with the case construction and door travel.
• The lock is designed for swing style doors, matching typical hinged glass cabinet doors in showcases, display cases, and similar applications where the door pivots open.
• The lock throw is 1/2 inch, providing a defined engagement distance to the mating cabinet surface or strike plate for consistent locking action once aligned.
• The lock is fully cushioned where it contacts the glass, helping reduce direct metal-to-glass contact during installation and everyday use on 1/4 to 5/16 inch thick glass doors.
• The cylinder body has a satin nickel finish, coordinating with satin nickel display hardware while maintaining a clean, understated look on visible glass fronts.

Glass Door Lock Mounting And Fit Considerations

This glass door lock is specified to mount vertically or horizontally on glass doors from 1/4 to 5/16 inch thick, so that thickness range sets the practical fit window for the door material. The non-bore style means the lock slips onto the glass edge, using the cushioned body to grip and support the glass without drilled holes. In horizontal mounting, the lock engages the side of the cabinet, while in vertical mounting it engages the bottom of the cabinet, giving two options to match cabinet rail locations. A lock throw of 1/2 inch defines how far the bolt travels toward the cabinet side or bottom, which guides where the mating surface or strike plate is positioned for secure engagement.

Using This Lock In Showcases And Display Cabinets

Where This CompX Timberline Lock Works Best

This CompX Timberline lock is classified under bypassing and showcase door locks and is described for swing style doors, so it aligns with glass display and showcase cabinets where doors pivot rather than slide. The ability to mount vertically or horizontally on glass doors from 1/4 to 5/16 inch thick makes it suitable for many retail, office, and woodworking projects that use standard glass thicknesses for hinged doors. Because the non-bore design lets the lock slip onto the edge of the glass door at any location, installers can position the cylinder at a height that clears shelves, rails, and signage while still reaching the cabinet side or bottom for locking. The satin nickel finish supports use in environments that already feature satin nickel pulls or frames, keeping the visual hardware set consistent on the front of the cabinet.

Details That Support Consistent Lock Alignment

The non-bore glass door design means the lock clamps onto the glass edge instead of relying on drilled holes, which simplifies positioning on doors within the 1/4 to 5/16 inch thickness range. With horizontal and vertical mount styles that lock to the side or bottom of the cabinet, the installer can choose the orientation that best lines up with the cabinet frame, improving bolt-to-surface contact. The specified lock throw of 1/2 inch provides a clear measure of travel for the locking bolt, guiding the distance between the lock body and the cabinet surface or strike plate during layout. The fully cushioned lock body helps protect the glass edge where the lock grips, which is important when the lock is adjusted along the edge to align with the cabinet side or bottom. A satin nickel cylinder body gives a consistent appearance across multiple doors in the same run of showcases, supporting uniform hardware layout and a clean finished look.
