Why Cam Lock Mounting Hardware Matters
Even the right cam lock can perform poorly if it is not securely mounted. Hardware such as washers, clips and anchor plates helps keep the cylinder correctly aligned while reducing movement or rotation during normal use.
The appropriate mounting method depends on the material, hole geometry, lock dimensions and how frequently the equipment will be operated.
Consider the Installation
- Material: steel, sheet metal or wood
- Existing hole size and shape
- Cam lock cylinder dimensions
- Required lock position and alignment
- Frequency of equipment access
- Assembly speed for OEM production
- Strength and durability requirements
