Cam lock, is a type of lock with extremely wide application. Its scope of application includes: smart equipment terminals, financial equipment terminals, electromechanical equipment, cabinets, subway gates, kiosks, game consoles, lockers, mailboxes and other equipment that can be seen everywhere in daily life.

The cam locks are divided into the following types: Tubular cam locks, flat key cam locks, triangular cam locks, etc.

1.Tubular cam lock. The Tubular cam lock uses an internal structure to control the rotation of the door lock, with a small appearance. Its largest size contains seven copper marbles, which can be used for tens of thousands of keys and has high security. It is a kind of lock with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

2.Flat tumbler cam lock. The flat tumbler cam lock is a metal flat to control the rotation of the internal lock. The structure of the lock is relatively simple and easy to process. It is widely used in mailbox locks, file cabinets, tool boxes and other occasions.

3.Triangular cam lock. The lock core of the triangular cam lock is a solid triangle, the material is mainly zinc alloy, and stainless steel is used for special occasions. Because the key is shared, it is widely used in industrial equipment.

When we use the cam lock, we should pay attention to the following points:
1.When opening and closing the door, you need to screw the bolt into the lock body and let go after closing the door. Do not hit the door lock forcefully at ordinary times, otherwise the service life will be reduced.

2. Long-term rotation of the lock body is easy to cause wear, in order to maintain the flexibility and service life of its rotation, lubricant can be added to the rotation part of the lock body regularly to maintain its flexibility.

(3) During use, if the key is not smoothly inserted and removed, a little graphite powder can be added to the lock cylinder groove to make the key insertion and removal smooth. But it should be noted that oil cannot be added to the lock cylinder groove for lubrication, otherwise the grease will stick to the pin spring, causing the lock to fail to open.

(4) When the cam lock is used, it is necessary to regularly check the fit gap between the lock body and the striking plate, the height of the lock bolt and the hole of the striking plate, and ensure that the distance between the two is appropriate. If you find a change in the spacing, you can adjust the position of the hinge or the lock striking plate on the locked door.
