7017 Slam Cam Spring Loaded Latch is a CompX National Slamcam Kit that converts specific CompX National cam locks (C8051-C8075) into self-locking units. The slam br CAM is a spring loaded latch that works with a self-locking component, so the lock engages as the door or drawer is pushed shut instead of relying on turning the key every time. By replacing existing steel cams with the Slam br CAM, the system eliminates steel cams that can crash into furniture or strikes when latched, reducing impact against casework and lock strikes in everyday use.
This CompX National C7017 kit is black, so it visually blends with dark lock bodies and trim where a low-profile look is preferred on cabinets or fixtures. The design is focused on keeping locks securing properly by avoiding bent cams that can keep locks from securing correctly or at all. For installers and millwork shops working with CompX National C8051-C8075 cam locks, this part provides a direct path to self-locking operation without changing the basic lock position in the panel.
This Slamcam Kit works with CompX National cam locks listed as C8051-C8075, so it is suited to installations that already specify those lock bodies in cabinet doors, drawers, or furniture panels. During conversion, the installer replaces the original steel cam with the SlamCam spring loaded latch, which changes the action from simple rotational locking to spring assisted self-locking. With SlamCam dimensions of 13/16 inch wide, 1-7/16 inch high, and 25/32 inch deep, the installer can read interior clearances and avoid interference with shelves or dividers near the lock tailpiece.
The self-locking component measures 3/4 inch diameter by 5/16 inch deep, which is sized to coordinate with the CompX National cam lock body while staying compact at the rear of the cylinder. Because the key is removable in locked position only, users lock the unit before withdrawing the key, supporting controlled access patterns in office furniture, cabinets, and similar fixtures that use C8051-C8075 cam locks.
The C7017 Slamcam Kit is designed for CompX National cam locks C8051-C8075, aligning the SlamCam spring loaded latch and the self-locking component directly with those lock models used in cabinets and furniture. In practice, that means millwork shops and installers using C8051-C8075 cam locks on doors or drawers can adopt a self-locking function without changing the bore or lock cylinder, which maintains existing door prep and hardware layouts.
Because the SlamCam replaces steel cams that can crash into furniture or strikes while in the latched position, it suits casework where repeated opening and closing could otherwise deform the cam or mar the strike edge. Bent cams can cause locks not to secure properly or secure at all, so this application is especially relevant for storage furniture and cabinetry that sees frequent use, where consistent locking is important for service life and user confidence.
The SlamCam dimensions of 13/16 inch wide, 1-7/16 inch high, and 25/32 inch deep give cabinetmakers planning data for locating the lock relative to shelves, dividers, and side panels. When integrated into layouts using CompX National C8051-C8075, these numbers clarify how much room the SlamCam occupies behind the door or drawer front as it works with the lock tailpiece.
The Slamcam Kit converts the motion of CompX National C8051-C8075 cam locks into self-locking operation by using a spring loaded latch, so the lock engages as the door or drawer is pushed shut. This changes the daily workflow from manually turning the key for every closing to a slam-style action, which can speed up use in offices, retail fixtures, or storage furniture where users close compartments frequently.
By eliminating steel cams that crash into furniture or strikes when latched, the kit reduces the likelihood of bent cams that cause locks not to secure properly or secure at all, which in turn reduces service visits to reposition strikes or change damaged cams. The self-locking component with its 3/4 inch diameter and 5/16 inch depth coordinates with the existing cam lock body, so installers can add the self-locking feature while keeping the lock centered in its original panel bore.
The note that the key is removable in locked position only shapes how staff interact with the furniture or cabinets, because the key stays in the cylinder any time the compartment is open. That pattern helps support controlled access in shared environments, as the lock returns to its locked state before the key is withdrawn and moved away from the cabinet or furniture piece.
The C7017 Slamcam Kit works with CompX National cam locks C8051-C8075, so it serves applications already based on those specific lock models in cabinet or furniture construction.
The SlamCam spring loaded latch, used with the self-locking component, converts C8051-C8075 cam locks into self-locking locks, so they engage when the door or drawer is pushed closed.
Replacing steel cams with the SlamCam latch eliminates steel cams that crash into furniture or strikes while latched, which helps avoid bent cams that may keep locks from securing.
The SlamCam latch measures 13/16 inch wide, 1-7/16 inch high, and 25/32 inch deep, giving installers sizing information to plan clearances inside cabinets or furniture panels.
The self-locking component has dimensions of 3/4 inch diameter and 5/16 inch deep, so it stays compact behind the CompX National cam lock body during retrofit.
The C7017 Slamcam setup follows the note that the key is removable in locked position only, so the key remains in the cylinder whenever the lock is open.
The C7017 Slamcam Kit from CompX National gives installers a defined way to convert C8051-C8075 cam locks into self-locking hardware using a spring loaded latch and matching self-locking component. With SlamCam dimensions of 13/16 inch wide, 1-7/16 inch high, and 25/32 inch deep, plus a 3/4 inch diameter by 5/16 inch deep self-locking element, the physical sizing aligns with typical cabinet lock layouts around those cam locks. For projects that specify C8051-C8075 in cabinets or furniture and need self-locking behavior with key removable in locked position only, this Slamcam Kit provides a focused solution that supports repeatable operation across multiple installations.
