Drop-flap lock from Selby Furniture Hardware is a cam lock that fits flush in the face of a wood flap or panel, so the front stays clean while the lock secures the section. The lock fits flush in face, which means the cylinder does not project, helping flaps close flat against the cabinet. The design works for wood thickness up to 7/8 inch, so it covers many furniture doors, drop fronts, and lids within that range. The cylinder requires a 3/4 inch hole, giving installers a clear boring size that speeds layout and drilling. The back of lock may be recessed into a 5/32 inch deep by 1-3/8 inch diameter bore, allowing the body to sit deeper in the panel where extra clearance is needed. A tab turns 90 degrees to engage a right-angled striker, creating a simple cam action that draws the flap tight at closure.
This Selby Furniture Hardware drop-flap lock uses a 3/4 inch hole for the cylinder, so a single standard bore sets the main location. For thicker or obstructed sections, the back of lock may be recessed into a 5/32 inch deep by 1-3/8 inch diameter bore, which gives room for the lock body behind the face while keeping the cylinder flush in front. The design handles wood thickness up to 7/8 inch, so common cabinet doors and flaps within that thickness sit properly around the cylinder. When installed, the tab turns 90 degrees to catch the right-angled striker, so the relationship between the cylinder centerline and striker location controls final alignment.
The Selby Furniture Hardware drop-flap lock functions as a cam lock for wood flaps and doors where a flush front is important. Because the lock fits flush in face, it suits furniture pieces and cabinetry where projecting locks would interfere with adjacent fronts or trim. The design works with wood thickness up to 7/8 inch, covering many drop-front desks, cabinet flaps, and similar applications built from typical panel stock. The cylinder requires a 3/4 inch hole, so it matches situations where that bore size is acceptable and easily drilled with shop equipment. A tab that turns 90 degrees to engage a right-angled striker gives a simple latch point for horizontal or vertical flaps, as long as the mating surface can hold the striker in the correct position.
This chrome keyed alike flap lock is identified as FLAP LOCK, CHROME KA, indicating that locks of this type are keyed alike to a common key pattern, which simplifies access management across multiple flaps using the same key cut. The key is removable only when locked, so the cylinder must be in the locked position before the key can be withdrawn, reducing the chance of leaving the lock in an unlocked state during regular use. The back of lock may be recessed into a 5/32 inch deep by 1-3/8 inch diameter bore, helping maintain consistent clearance behind different door or flap constructions while keeping the cylinder flush on the front. With the tab turning 90 degrees to engage the right-angled striker, the rotation range is defined, which helps repeated installations achieve the same locked and unlocked feel across several cabinets built to the same layout.
