Everything You Need to Know About Cam Locks

EasyKeys.com has just the cam lock for your needs!  We have cam locks for furniture, cam locks for cabinets, and cam locks for drawers.  Before we start sounding too much like Bubba Blue from Forrest Gump, let’s just say we have it covered.  EasyKeys.com offers a wide selection of cam locks by ESP Lock, CompX Security, CCL, A-ZUM, Craftsman, Kimball Office, Olympus Lock, Ojmar, and Wesko.  Now we definitely sound like Bubba! 

Cam locks are a type of lock that does not require an entire locking mechanism, and work pretty simply.  The lock has a cam - the metal piece that goes inside of the door or drawer - and it will hold the door or drawer shut.  With the key, the lock turns either 90 or 180 degrees, which causes the cam to turn and release the door or drawer. Cam locks can be installed to fit your exact need - either turning the cam right or left, or up and down.  Another option available is the offset cam. An offset cam allows the locks to be used when the drawer or door is not flush.

To find your perfect cam lock, you will need to measure the thickness of the door or drawer, as well as the length from the lock hole to the edge of the molding or furniture.

Our cam lock options will work for wooden cabinets, doors, or drawers.  As always, if you need assistance finding the correct option for you, please contact us!
