About Cam Latches and Locks

Washdown Slotted-Drive Cam Locks
Help keep your sealed enclosure's contents safe from dust and water damage—these locks help maintain an enclosure's IP or NEMA rating for washdowns. All open with a slotted screwdriver, so they’re good for areas where you don’t want a complicated keying system.
Locks with an adjustable latching distance handle a wide range of latching distances, so they’re best for tasks when precise distances are unknown. Adjust the position of the cam before you begin to install them.
Locks with a protected or roller cam rotate more smoothly than those with other straight and offset cams, making them easier to open and close. The cam won't scrape paint or metal chips off the frame that can damage items in the enclosure. The roller cam also compresses a bit to help minimize rattling from vibration.
Locks that meet EN 45545 adhere to strict standards for flammability.

Triangle-Drive Cam Locks
Open these locks with a triangle key—it’s more secure than a hex key or screwdriver, yet still matches a common keying system for industrial enclosures and other machinery.
Locks with an adjustable latching distance handle a wide range of latching distances, so they’re best for tasks when precise distances are unknown. Adjust the position of the cam before installing. They project further into the enclosure than those with a fixed latching distance.
Locks with a roller or protected cam rotate more smoothly than those with straight and offset cams, making them easier to open and close. The cam won’t scratch or flake enclosure surfaces to protect electronics inside from paint or metal chips.
All have a gasket that keeps dust and water from getting in through the lock. This helps you maintain your sealed enclosure’s IP or NEMA rating. IP65 rated locks seal out water from low-pressure washdowns.
