If you require a cam lock that we do not stock, fill out our non-stock request form or feel free to contact us. These components may need to be ordered in a minimum quantity, are subject to vendor availability and may extend manufacturing lead times.

Design Tips & Constraints:

Cam locks have a maximum material thickness for the metal into which it’s being mounted. Refer to the table above for the maximum material thickness of stocked cam locks to ensure your design falls within these requirements.

Ensure your latching distance for your cam lock will reach the joining part. This distance largely depends on the latch style of the cam lock you select.
