What is a cabinet lock cylinder?
Cabinet lock cylinders (cam locks) secure doors, drawers, and enclosures with a rotating cam actuated by a key.
Most mount in a 3/4" (19 mm) hole and are offered in common barrel (cylinder) lengths of 5/8", 7/8", 1-1/8", and 1-3/8" to match panel thickness.
Selection hinges on
• Panel thickness → cylinder length (barrel/housing height), and required cam reach/offset for proper latch engagement. Practical measuring guides detail functional length, cam length (pivot-to-tip), rotation, and key-pull options.
• Keying: keyed alike, keyed different, or master-keyed; interchangeable cores are available where serviceability matters.
• Security & build: disc-tumbler/tubular variants, key-retaining options, zinc-alloy or steel bodies, and finishes such as chrome/galvanized.
• Form factors: beyond cam locks, deadbolt-style cabinet locks offer higher pry resistance when needed.
Note: Metric families (e.g., 9 mm/12 mm/13.5 mm/16 mm/17 mm barrels) are also common in industrial systems—check the OEM spec. ([Lowe and Fletcher Inc][9])
Quick answers
Are cabinet lock cylinders universal?
No. Many use a 3/4" hole, but cylinder lengths (5/8"–1-3/8"), keyways, and cams vary by application.
How do I measure a cabinet lock cylinder?
Measure panel thickness to choose barrel length; then measure cam length/offset and confirm rotation/key-pull.
