Circular-Keyway Cam Locks
Use these locks in a 3/4" dia. through hole, which is the most common through-hole size. Offering more security than standard keyed cam locks, these have circular keys that are difficult to duplicate. They also have a tubular pin tumbler, which makes them difficult to pick.
Choose these locks if you need locks that each open with a different key. Select the turn direction when mounting the cam. Each lock comes with a straight cam and a reversible offset cam to accommodate different latching distances.

Tight-Hold Circular-Keyway Keyed Alike Cam Locks
Also known as compression cam locks, these locks create a tighter hold than a traditional cam lock, making them useful for doors that have a seal. Turn the head a quarter turn to lock, then turn it another quarter turn to create compression and minimize rattling from vibration. Offering more security than standard keyed alike cam locks, these have circular keys that are difficult to duplicate. Choose them if you need several locks that open with the same key.
Locks with a fixed latching distance are best when you know the precise distance you need. Since you won’t have to adjust the cam into position, these are faster to install than those with an adjustable latching distance. All come with multiple cams, so you can change the fixed latching distance.
Locks with an adjustable latching distance handle a wide range of latching distances, so they’re best for tasks where precise distances are unknown. Adjust the position of the cam before you begin to install them. They project further into the enclosure than those with a fixed distance.
Use stainless steel locks in areas that are constantly exposed to moisture since they resist corrosion better than zinc locks.
For locks for 13/16" through hole dia., the installation hole can be made with a round hole instead of the irregularly shaped standard cam hole. This is especially helpful if the material of the door is difficult to cut or part of an existing structure. Push the lock into your through hole and secure it with fasteners so it won’t rotate as you turn the head.
