Description
CompX Cam Lock For Doors And Drawers
CompX National disc tumbler rear mount cam lock is a bright nickel cam lock designed for doors and drawers where a compact rear-mount cylinder is needed. The 7/8 inch cylinder with a 3/4 inch mounting hole creates a tight, predictable fit into a properly sized bore, which helps installers get a clean, repeatable lock installation in cabinets or casework. This lock uses a disc tumbler mechanism, which provides keyed security suitable for typical furniture and cabinetry applications. The bright nickel finish gives the lock a clean, uniform appearance that blends with common hardware finishes, supporting consistent jobsite aesthetics. As a rear mount cam lock, it is set up to secure doors and drawers from the back side of the panel, which keeps the exterior face simple while the cam does the work inside the cabinet.
Cam Lock Details That Speed Up Jobs
- Each lock is supplied with two stop washers that allow the cam to turn either 90 degrees or 180 degrees based on the application, so installers can match rotation to the way the door or drawer needs to secure.
- Stop washers are provided for either 90 degree or 180 degree cam turn, giving flexibility to use the same lock model across different cabinet layouts that call for different cam travel.
- The key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, which lets users leave the lock in the desired state and remove the key without having to return to a specific position each time.
- Two formed cams are supplied, with 1-1/2 inch extension and either 3/32 inch inset or 1/4 inch offset, so the installer can choose the cam geometry that best reaches and engages the strike surface.
- Stock keying is available as KA, where all locks are keyed alike to the specified key number and a master key will not work, which simplifies operation when all units must share one key.
- Stock keying is also available as KD, where all locks are keyed different and a master key will not work on these locks, which supports situations where each lock requires its own unique key.
Rear Mount Cam Lock Setup And Fit
The cam lock uses a 7/8 inch cylinder with a 3/4 inch mounting hole, so the installer bores a 3/4 inch hole and mounts the cylinder from the rear, giving a snug mechanical fit that resists play. As a rear mount cam lock, it positions the cylinder behind the door or drawer front while the cam swings inside the cabinet, which keeps the front surface clean and places working parts where they are less exposed. The formed cams with 1-1/2 inch extension, in either 3/32 inch inset or 1/4 inch offset, let the installer align the cam sweep with the frame or strike location, improving engagement without excessive shimming or rework.
Using This Cam Lock In Cabinet Projects
Where This Rear Mount Cam Lock Fits Best
This CompX National disc tumbler rear mount cam lock is specified for doors and drawers, so it fits common cabinet, furniture, and casework applications where a small cylinder must drive a cam behind the panel. The 7/8 inch cylinder supported by a 3/4 inch mounting hole dimension lets fabricators standardize drilling patterns across a run of cabinets, which helps maintain consistent alignment from one unit to the next. Two formed cams, each with a 1-1/2 inch extension and either 3/32 inch inset or 1/4 inch offset, give options for reaching behind varied door overlays or drawer fronts, so the same lock body can be used across slightly different construction details on a project.
How Lock Options Support Repeatable Results
The cam lock is supplied with two stop washers that set the cam to either 90 degree or 180 degree rotation, allowing the installer to control how far the cam travels to match the door or drawer movement. Being able to choose between 90 degree and 180 degree cam turn helps match the handle travel customers expect, which reduces callbacks due to unexpected key or cam positions. Key removable in both locked and unlocked positions means the user can remove the key whether the lock is engaged or not, simplifying daily operation where frequent access is required. Stock keying options KA and KD, with no master key function on these locks, let planners decide between one-key convenience or separate keys on multi-unit jobs, shaping how access is managed across a bank of cabinets. The bright nickel finish supports a uniform appearance with other bright hardware, which helps projects present a consistent look when viewed together.
