July 28, 2026

Mailbox and parcel box manufacturers often choose the lock body first and leave key system planning until late in the program. That sequence creates expensive problems.

Custom cam lock projects rarely fail because the buyer chose the wrong lock category.

Furniture Cam Lock Sizes: What Manufacturers Should Confirm Before Production

June 29, 2026

Furniture cam lock sizes look simple on a catalogue page: a body diameter, a cylinder length, and a cam shape.
