what are cam locks used for

Cam lock is a kind of fastener, often used in cabinet structure. The cam lock can firmly fix the cabinet together without affecting the appearance. Cam locks are cylindrical fasteners used in cabinet making and many types of furniture.

Cam locks are one of the most commonly used and simplest locks. The cam lock was invented in 1985 by Volker Guelck of Ontario, Canada. The lock consists of a metal plate (called a cam) that is connected to the core of the locking device and rotates as the key is inserted and turned. The cam rotates between 90 and 180 degrees to lock and unlock.

There are two basic types of Cam Locks. The first is a flat key cam lock. Use a regular flat key (such as a door key or car key) to open the lock. The second type is a tubular cam lock. The operation of the lock is the same as the flat key cam lock, but it is opened by a key, which is a circular tubular object that can be pushed into the cam lock. In contrast to having a flat opening, the tubular cam lock has a circular opening for inserting a key.

In addition to the basic keyed cam lock, there is also a combination cam lock, which uses a combination dial code. These are the locks you will see on the locker. The advantage of the lack of a combination cam is that the user does not need to carry the key to open the lock.
