CompX Timberline CB-371 Double Glass Door Lock (1/4 - 5/16 Thick) Cylinder Body Only, Non-Bore Style, Vertical Mount, Bright Nickel, CB-371

CompX CB-371 Double Glass Door Lock For Swing Doors

CompX Timberline CB-371 double glass door lock is designed for swing style doors and gives you a non-bore way to secure glass cabinet openings. The non-bore glass door lock slips onto the edge of the glass door at any location, so you can position it where the layout demands without drilling the panel. This CB-371 version is the cylinder body only in a vertical mount configuration, suited to installations that lock to the bottom of the cabinet. The lock is fully cushioned, which protects the glass edge during use and helps reduce damage in daily operation. It is designed for glass doors from 1/4 to 5/16 inch thick, so it fits the common thickness range used in many display and showcase cabinets. The bright nickel finish provides a clean, finished look in line with other bright nickel showcase hardware.

Glass Door Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The non-bore glass door design lets the lock slip onto the glass edge, which avoids drilling into the glass panel and supports faster installation on existing swing style doors.
• This vertical mount style locks to the bottom of the cabinet, which suits cases where the cabinet construction or layout favors a bottom locking point for the double glass doors.
• The lock body is fully cushioned, which helps protect the glass door edge during locking and unlocking and reduces the chance of chipping at the contact point.
• Compatibility with glass doors from 1/4 to 5/16 inch thick means the same CB-371 lock can be used across a common thickness range in many bypassing and showcase door projects.
• The bright nickel finish coordinates with other bright nickel hardware and provides a consistent appearance across locks and latches in the same cabinet run.

Vertical Mount, Non-Bore Installation Characteristics

This CompX Timberline CB-371 is specified as a vertical mount lock, meaning it is intended to lock to the bottom of the cabinet. That configuration works well on swing style glass doors where the locking point is designed into the cabinet base. As a non-bore glass door lock, it slips onto the edge of the glass door instead of relying on a drilled hole, which supports retrofitting into existing doors. The design is stated for glass thickness from 1/4 to 5/16 inch, giving a defined fit range when selecting glass panels. The lock throw is 1/2 inch, providing a concrete measure of how far the bolt extends toward the strike plate during locking.

Using The CB-371 Lock In Showcase Installations

Where This Double Glass Door Lock Is Applied

The CompX Timberline CB-371 double glass door lock sits in the product class of bypassing and showcase door locks, so it is suited to showcase and similar cabinet applications. It is designed for swing style doors and mounts directly on glass doors from 1/4 to 5/16 inch thick, which aligns with glass commonly specified for display cabinets. The vertical mount style is described as locking to the bottom of the cabinet, so it works in layouts where the locking engagement is planned at the cabinet base rather than the side. Because the lock body is fully cushioned, it supports repeated locking cycles on glass doors by providing a softer interface at the glass edge.

Details That Help Repeatable Locking Performance

The non-bore glass door lock format allows the CB-371 body to slip onto the edge of the door at any location, which gives flexibility during layout and lets installers place the lock to align with existing cabinet structures. The stated lock throw of 1/2 inch defines the engagement distance toward the strike plate, which helps align the strike in relation to the cabinet bottom for consistent locking. The vertical mount design is noted as locking to the bottom of the cabinet, giving a clear reference for planning the lock and strike relationship. The fully cushioned body reduces direct glass-to-metal contact when the cylinder body is tightened onto the door, aiding long-term use on glass panels. The bright nickel finish matches other bright nickel components available in the same product description, so visual alignment can be maintained across multiple locks and latches in a run of display cabinets.
