Sugatsune Glass Door Cam Lock 3/16"-5/16" Glass Thickness, Black Chrome, GS-GL5-BL-G1001

Sugatsune Glass Door Cam Lock For Cabinets

Sugatsune glass door cam lock gives you a dedicated locking point for glass doors in bypassing and showcase applications, so you can secure displays while keeping access simple. This lock is designed for 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch glass thickness, which covers common glass door sizes used in many display and cabinet setups. The black chrome finish provides a dark, low-profile look that visually blends into darker frames and trims for a cleaner presentation. This cam lock is part of Sugatsune Americas bypassing and showcase door locks product class, so it is purpose-built for those installations rather than general doors. It is designed for use with the SLGS-GH5 glass hinge and SLGS-GB5 bracket, tying the locking function directly into a coordinated glass door hardware set for consistent fit and operation.

Key Locking Details That Support Daily Use

• The lock is designed for use with the SLGS-GH5 glass hinge and SLGS-GB5 bracket, so it works as a matched component in that specific glass hardware system and preserves alignment of the leaf when locking.
• The reversible key allows operation from either orientation, which helps installers plan key access in tight showcase layouts and simplifies user operation for left- or right-handed staff.
• Turning the key 90 degrees locks and unlocks the cam, providing a short, predictable key travel that speeds up repetitive opening and closing during daily merchandising work.
• The key acts as a knob during operation, so users can grip and turn without a separate pull, simplifying the front of the cabinet and reducing separate hardware pieces on the glass.
• The key can only be removed when locked, which keeps doors from being left unsecured unintentionally because the key remains in the lock anytime the cabinet is open.
• The dimple key design offers up to 1 million key changes, supporting keyed-alike or keyed-different systems across multiple locks while maintaining unique combinations where needed.

Glass Lock Installation And Fit Considerations

This GS-GL5-BL-G1001 cam lock is designed for glass thickness from 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch, so installers can match it to common showcase panels without special glass sizing. Being a glass door cam lock within the bypassing and showcase door locks category, it is intended for display and cabinet environments rather than solid doors, which helps focus layout planning on typical retail or casework conditions. Using it with the SLGS-GH5 glass hinge and SLGS-GB5 bracket keeps the lock within a coordinated Sugatsune system, which supports consistent geometry between hinge pivot, bracket, and locking cam engagement on the glass leaf.

Where This Sugatsune Glass Door Cam Lock Fits

This Sugatsune America glass door cam lock sits in the bypassing and showcase door locks product class, so its role is to secure glass doors on display cases and similar cabinetry. Designed for 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch glass thickness, it matches many standard tempered glass sizes used in retail showcases and residential display cabinets, allowing one lock type to cover multiple case designs. Its design link to the SLGS-GH5 glass hinge and SLGS-GB5 bracket means it fits within that specific glass hardware family, which helps maintain consistent edge distances and hardware sightlines along the glass door. The black chrome finish gives the lock a dark, refined appearance that visually coordinates with darker frames and trims often used in modern display systems.

Lock Operation Details For Consistent Results

The GS-GL5-BL-G1001 cam lock uses a reversible key, so it can be inserted and turned from either orientation, reducing orientation issues for staff during quick access. The mechanism locks and unlocks with a 90 degree key turn, giving users a short, repeatable motion that speeds up frequent opening cycles in busy showcase environments. During use, the key acts as the knob, so the user both turns and pulls on the same component, which simplifies hand movements and front-of-case hardware layout. The key can only be removed when the lock is in the locked position, so any time the door is open the key stays in place, signaling the unlocked status and reducing the chance of leaving the cabinet unsecured at closing. The dimple key system provides up to 1 million key changes, supporting lock planning where multiple display cases require distinct key combinations or managed groups within a larger installation.
