About Cam Latches and Locks

Hex-Drive Cam Locks
For a simplified keying system, these cam locks open with a hex key (not included).
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 have the smoothest rotation of the locks we offer, making them easiest to open and close. The cam won’t scratch or flake enclosure surfaces to protect electronics inside from paint or metal chips. Roller cams won’t vibrate or rattle when opening or closing them.
IP or NEMA rated locks have a gasket that keeps dust and water from getting in through the lock. IP65 rated locks seal out water from low-pressure washdowns.

Two-Way-Drive Cam Locks
Open these locks with a two-way key (sold separately). Also known as a double-bit key, it’s more secure than a hex key or screwdriver, yet still matches a common keying system for industrial enclosures and other machinery. These locks also have a flat, concealed design that prevents others from tampering with them using pliers. Their cam rotates 90° to close enclosure doors, so they’re also known as quarter-turn locks.

Washdown L-Handle Keyed Alike Cam Locks
Help keep your sealed enclosure's contents safe from water damage—these locks help maintain an enclosure's IP or NEMA rating for low-pressure washdowns. Also known as quarter-turn locks, they have an arm that rotates 90° to secure your enclosure. Choose them if you need several locks that open with the same key.
All of these locks include multiple cams, so you can change their fixed latching distance. Since you won’t have to adjust the cams into position, these locks are faster to install than those with an adjustable latching distance. Locks with roller cams rotate more smoothly than those with straight and offset cams, making them easier to open and close. The cams won't scrape paint or metal chips off the frame that can damage sensitive electronics inside the enclosure. The roller cams also compress a bit to help eliminate rattling from vibration.
Locks with a stainless steel shutter block rain, snow, and dirt from entering the lock cylinder, which can cause internal damage.
