The Camloc 1-3/16″ brass cam lock delivers professional-grade security for cabinet installations, featuring a disc tumbler mechanism and 90° rotation. This lock system addresses the daily reality of Montana contractors who need reliable, keyed-alike security across multiple cabinets without fumbling through key rings on job sites.
Installation Flexibility and Security
The dual-cam system sets this lock apart from basic cabinet hardware. Includes both straight and formed cams for overlay or flush mounting — contractors get the right cam for the job without ordering separate parts. The straight cam (1-1/2” extension) handles lipped or overlay doors, while the formed cam (1-1/8” extension with 11/32” offset) works for flush installations.
Installation beats most cam locks on the market. The 3/4 inches (19 mm) mounting hole diameter matches standard bore sizes — no special bits required. Mount using the provided mounting nut; use the spur washer for wood surfaces to prevent rotation in the hole. That spur washer matters when mounting in particleboard or MDF cabinet boxes.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Cylinder Length | 1-3/16 inches (30 mm) |
| Maximum Panel Thickness | 7/8 inches (22 mm) |
| Mounting Hole Diameter | 3/4 inches (19 mm) |
| Rotation | 90° (Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise depending on installation) |
| Mechanism Type | Disc Tumbler (5-disc mechanism) |
| Body Material | Die-cast zinc alloy |
| Finish | Brass (available in Antique Brass, Polished Brass, or Bright Brass) |
The 5-disc mechanism provides commercial-grade security without the complexity of pin tumbler systems. Key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions — critical for service calls where keys might otherwise get stuck in locks.
Keyed-Alike Benefits and Applications
The #390 keyed-alike system transforms multi-cabinet installations. Compatible with all other locks in the #390 key code family, allowing contractors to expand systems without carrying multiple key sets. 2x Matching keys (Keyed Alike #390) come with each lock.
Standard 3/4” mounting hole makes it a drop-in replacement for most major furniture lock brands (Olympus, CCL, etc.). This compatibility matters for Montana contractors handling office furniture retrofits in Missoula’s business district or school locker replacements across the state.
Common applications include:
- Single drawer locking
- Cabinet doors (left-hand or right-hand orientation)
- Office furniture and school lockers
- Residential cabinetry and display cases
The lock passes ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle tests, meaning it can withstand at least 20,000 cycles of key insertion and removal. That durability translates to years of reliable service in high-traffic applications like school lockers or office filing systems.
Included items cover complete installation:
- 1x Cam lock body (1-3/16” cylinder)

FAQs
What’s the actual panel thickness limit for this lock?
7/8 inches (22 mm) maximum. The 1-3/16” cylinder length provides adequate thread engagement while accommodating standard 3/4” cabinet material plus face frames.
Can I get different cylinder lengths for thicker panels?
Available in 7/16”, 5/8”, 7/8”, 1-1/8”, and 1-3/8” to accommodate thinner or thicker panels. The 1-3/16” size handles most standard cabinet construction.
What’s the difference between disc tumbler and pin tumbler mechanisms?
Pin tumbler locks offer higher security level compared to disc tumblers, typically with more key combinations and master key capabilities. Disc tumblers provide adequate security for most cabinet applications while maintaining smooth operation and lower cost.

California Proposition 65 (contains chemicals known to cause cancer/reproductive harm) compliance noted. Meets standard commercial requirements for furniture locks (no specific UL listing mentioned).
What warranty coverage comes with these locks?
Typically 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects (standard for CompX National). 30-day return policy common among major distributors like DK Hardware and Richelieu.
