round chrome glass door cam lock from Sugatsune America is designed as a single door application cam lock for glass doors, giving glass showcases and bypassing doors a keyed locking point. The surface mounting type layout lets installers secure the lock directly to the glass door, turning the cylinder into a simple daily-use locking control. The maximum glass door thickness of 8 mm (5/16") defines where this lock fits, so glass in that range gains a dedicated lock point without frame changes. Its back plate is designed for maximum security, helping the cam resist prying at the lock interface and keeping the door engaged with the frame or mating door. As a reversible key lock, the cylinder allows the key to operate from either direction, supporting flexible orientation on the door while maintaining a consistent locking action.
This Sugatsune glass door cam lock uses a surface mounting type construction, so the body sits on the glass face and the cam reaches behind the door edge to engage. That layout avoids edge mortising on glass, focusing work on accurate placement and secure fastening. The specified maximum glass door thickness of 8 mm (5/16") defines the working clearance between the cam and the body, helping the lock seat correctly on standard showcase glass panels. In single door application setups, the cam engages a strike point or cabinet frame, turning the key into the only normal release for that door. This combination of surface mounting and defined glass thickness supports repeatable placement on similar cases, useful when outfitting multiple doors in the same installation.
This glass showcase cam lock is categorized as a bypassing and showcase door lock, so it targets applications where a single glass door needs a keyed lock point in a display or cabinet. The single door application focus means the cam lock is arranged to secure one moving glass panel rather than coordinating multiple leaves, giving that leaf a dedicated locking position. The surface mounting type structure suits typical glass display doors where hardware sits directly on the glass face, so installers can adapt it to showcases, cabinets, or similar displays using glass panels up to 8 mm (5/16") thick. The chrome finish supports use in visible retail or showroom environments where hardware is part of the visual field, helping the lock sit cleanly alongside hinges, pulls, and other visible fittings.
The reversible key lock feature lets the key operate as a knob in the unlocked position, so once opened, the same key body can rotate the cylinder for day-to-day access without separate knobs, simplifying how staff handle the door. The one million key changes available in the cylinder design provides a very large keying range, which supports keying schemes where different locks in a facility can use unique key patterns while still using this same lock family. The back plate designed for maximum security helps the cam resist forced movement at the mounting area, keeping the cam aligned with its strike point and reducing the likelihood of misalignment over normal use. When combined with the defined maximum glass thickness of 8 mm (5/16"), these details give installers clear parameters, so similar doors can be outfitted with the same lock model and tuned to the same locking motion across a run of showcases.
This Sugatsune round glass door cam lock is described as a single door application lock for glass doors, so it is used to secure one moving glass panel on showcases or similar displays.
The surface mounting type layout positions the lock body on the face of the glass, so work focuses on locating and fastening the lock rather than cutting into glass edges, which supports straightforward positioning on display doors.
The cam lock is specified for a maximum glass door thickness of 8 mm (5/16 inch), so glass within that thickness range aligns with the body and cam spacing for normal locking engagement.
The reversible key lock allows the key to act as a knob in the unlocked position, so the same key that unlocks the door can rotate the cylinder for frequent opening without a separate handle.
The one million key changes available provide a large number of distinct key patterns, allowing different locks using this model to be keyed differently where varied keying schemes are required.
The back plate is designed for maximum security, reinforcing the mounting area so the cam and body resist normal prying forces at the door edge, maintaining consistent locking engagement over time.
This Sugatsune America round chrome glass door cam lock, model 1310GL-CR-G1001, combines a single door application layout with surface mounting and an 8 mm (5/16") maximum glass thickness. Those defined parameters help align the lock with glass showcases, cabinets, and display doors built around that thickness range. The reversible key lock, one million key changes available, and back plate designed for maximum security give a clear functional profile for keyed control on glass. For projects using glass doors in this thickness and application window, this cam lock offers a focused option that matches common showcase and bypassing door requirements.
