Sugatsune Glass Door Cam Lock 3/16"-5/16" Glass Thickness, Gold, GS-GL5-GP-G1001

Sugatsune Glass Door Cam Lock For Showcase Use

Sugatsune glass door cam lock is a rectangular lock designed for glass doors, so it secures bypassing or showcase-style doors where a compact cam lock is needed. The lock is specified for 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch glass thickness, which targets common glass sizes used in display and showcase applications. The lock is finished in gold, giving a bright metal look that can visually match other gold-toned showcase hardware. This model GS-GL5-GP-G1001 is part of Sugatsune America offerings in locks and latches, so it fits into projects that standardize on that brand across display fixtures. As a cam lock, it uses a rotating cam to hold the door, which provides a simple motion for securing and releasing glass doors in service work.

Key Working Details That Support Daily Use

• The lock is designed for use with the SLGS-GH5 glass hinge, so it integrates into glass door setups that rely on that specific hinge style for alignment and movement.
• It is designed for use with the SLGS-GB5 bracket, which ties the cam lock into bracket-based glass door layouts for consistent positioning along the panel edge.
• The key is reversible, allowing it to operate in either orientation, which speeds up locking when working from different angles around a display.
• Turning the key 90 degrees locks and unlocks the cam, giving a short, predictable key throw that is easy to repeat across multiple doors in a run.
• The key acts as a knob and can only be removed when locked, so when the key is out, the cam remains in its locked position for a clear locked-unlocked status.
• The dimple key has up to 1 million key changes, providing a very large keying variation range that supports keyed-alike planning and security management in facilities.

Glass Door Cam Lock Fit And Operation Details

The specified 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch glass thickness range defines where this lock grips correctly, which supports reliable clamping on typical showcase glass without extra shimming. Being a rectangular glass door cam lock, it presents straight edges against the glass, helping installers align the body parallel with door edges during layout. The 90 degree key turn requirement for locking and unlocking creates a predictable quarter-turn operation, which simplifies training staff who open and secure cases during regular shifts. With the key acting as a knob, the user rotates and pulls the door using the same part, reducing extra hardware at the edge of the glass.

Showcase Lock Role In Glass Door Assemblies

Where This Glass Cam Lock Is Typically Applied

This lock is categorized as a bypassing and showcase door lock, so it functions in applications where glass doors slide or present goods in display conditions. Use with the SLGS-GH5 glass hinge places it in hinged glass door assemblies built around that hinge style, integrating the locking point directly into the glass door hardware set. Coordination with the SLGS-GB5 bracket positions the cam lock relative to the supporting bracket, creating a defined interface point where the cam engages. By serving specifically on glass doors within the 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch thickness range, it is suited to many retail, showroom, or cabinet-style glass fronts that share those thickness standards.

How Specific Lock Details Support Consistent Results

The reversible key feature allows installers and staff to insert the key either side up, which reduces fumbling at awkward angles and speeds up door access when servicing displays. Because the key must be turned 90 degrees to move between locked and unlocked states, each operation follows the same motion, which helps reduce operator error during daily use. The design where the key acts as a knob centralizes turning and pulling on one element, so users rotate the cam and then use the key body to move the door, limiting the need for additional gripping points at the glass edge. Having a key that can only be removed when the lock is in the locked position sets a clear rule for door status: if the key is removed, the cam remains engaged, guarding against leaving a door unsecured. The dimple key system with up to 1 million key changes gives planners a wide keying range when organizing locks across multiple doors or cases, supporting controlled access schemes in larger installations.
