CompX Timberline Lock Electronic Push Button Cabinet Lock, 3/8" Maximum Material Thickness with Matte Black and Horizontal Position - PRLK-M-L-2BK
Description
CompX Pearl Electronic Push Button Cabinet Lock Use
CompX Pearl electronic push button cabinet lock provides keyless cabinet locking by using a coded push button interface, which helps control cabinet access in a repeatable way. The lock is designed as an electronic push button cabinet lock with a horizontal left hand mount, so it suits layouts that call for a left hand horizontal orientation. A 5/8 inch cylinder length lets the lock engage through typical cabinet material while keeping the working components within reach. The design supports a 3/8 inch maximum material thickness, which defines the cabinet door or drawer front this lock can directly serve. A 3/4 inch diameter mounting hole for surface installation sets a clear drilling requirement, helping installers size the bore accurately. CompX Timberline Lock branding identifies it as part of the CompX Timberline lock family, aligning it with that product class.
Key Locking Features That Support Cabinet Work
- Electronic push button operation provides code-based access control, which removes the need for traditional keys during routine use.
- Support for 20 codes per lock allows multiple user or management codes, which can match shared cabinets or changing access patterns.
- Battery life rated at 40,000 cycles reduces how often batteries are replaced, which limits downtime on frequently used cabinets.
- Low battery indicator alerts users ahead of power loss, which supports planned battery changes instead of unexpected lockouts.
- Ultra thin profile keeps projection to a minimum, which helps the lock sit close to the cabinet surface for a cleaner look.
- Matte black finish provides a dark, non-reflective appearance, which helps the lock blend with black or contrasting cabinetry.
Installation Details For Horizontal Left Hand Mounts
The horizontal left hand mount configuration directs how this CompX Pearl lock sits on the cabinet, which matters when aligning the lock body with the cabinet frame or strike. A 3/4 inch diameter mounting hole for surface installation sets a precise bore size, which guides drill bit selection and placement. The lock also allows recessed installation, so it can sit deeper in the panel when projects call for a more integrated appearance. A 5/8 inch cylinder length defines how far the locking cylinder extends through the material, which helps match this lock to panel builds. The lock supports material up to 3/8 inch thick, so installers know the face thickness this model is designed to pass through effectively.
Where This CompX Pearl Lock Fits Best
Horizontal Left Hand Cabinet Mounting Applications
The horizontal left hand mount design aims this CompX Timberline electronic cabinet lock at cabinets built for a left hand orientation, which aligns the keypad and latch with that door or drawer swing. The 3/8 inch maximum material thickness means this lock fits cabinet doors or drawer fronts within that range, which matches many standard furniture and casework fronts. A 3/4 inch diameter mounting hole requirement guides hole preparation on these panels, which keeps the cylinder centered and supported. For layouts that favor a more integrated look, the recessed installation option lets the lock sit deeper in the cabinet face, which can be useful in tighter spaces or design-driven installations. The ultra thin profile supports these situations by minimizing how far the lock stands off the surface.
Details That Support Codes, Power, And Consistency
The CompX Pearl electronic push button cabinet lock supports 20 codes per lock, which allows individual user codes or layered access schemes on shared cabinets. This flexibility helps manage who can open a cabinet without changing hardware. A battery life rating of 40,000 cycles means the AAAA battery power source runs through many openings before replacement, which helps keep the lock operating through busy use cycles. The AAAA battery compartment is accessible from the outside of the cabinet, so batteries can be changed without opening the cabinet from behind. A low battery indicator warns when capacity drops, which promotes timely battery changes while the lock is still functioning. The matte black finish ties together these functional details with a consistent appearance on the cabinet face.
