Why Protect a Commercial Cam Lock?
Cam locks are frequently installed on equipment that is exposed to dust, rain, washdown conditions, road debris, dirt and other contaminants. Over time, environmental exposure can interfere with the lock face, keyway or mounting area.
Adding the appropriate protective accessory can help reduce direct exposure while keeping the lock easy to access and service.
Consider Lock Protection When…
- Equipment is installed outdoors
- Locks are exposed to rain or moisture
- Dust or dirt is common in the operating environment
- Equipment is frequently washed or cleaned
- Locks are mounted on unattended equipment
- The mounting hole needs additional sealing
- Keys need fast visual identification

Frequently Asked Questions About Cam Lock Protection
What does a cam lock dust cover do?
A cam lock dust cover shields the face and keyway of the lock from direct exposure to dirt, dust, moisture and other foreign material.
How is a cam lock dust cover installed?
The dust cover slips over the cam lock before installation. The lock’s mounting nut then holds the cover securely in position.
What does an O-ring do on a cam lock?
An O-ring helps seal the area around the cam lock mounting hole. It is positioned on the lock before the mounting nut is tightened and compresses to help reduce moisture intrusion.
Are cam lock O-rings useful outdoors?
O-rings can be useful where lock installations are exposed to moisture, rain, washdown conditions or other environments where water could enter around the mounting opening.
What are tubular key covers used for?
Tubular key covers provide a simple visual identification system. Different colors can be assigned to locations, routes, users or groups of equipment to make keys easier to organize.
