Cam Latches
Cam locks are simple and efficient locking devices that quickly lock and unlock by rotating a cam. They usually consist of two parts: a cam and a lock body. The cam is a cylindrical part, while the lock body is used to temporarily fix the cam. This lock has a simple design and is easy to operate, with only a 90° rotation to lock or unlock. Cam locks are widely used in various scenarios, including cabinets, tool boxes, control panels, drawers, and lockers. Its advantages include easy installation, simple operation, a variety of materials (such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum alloy), and can be selected with or without a key according to the needs. In addition, cam locks also have a variety of design options, such as different handle styles, environmental sealing functions, and a variety of size options to meet different installation needs and security requirements. Fornd cam locks only need to rotate 90 degrees to secure the door, providing a strong and reliable door closure. A variety of handles, tool and key locking options, as well as dust and water resistant varieties provide security and sealing, suitable for almost any application.
