Camloc Cabinet Locks: Professional-Grade Security for Multi-Cabinet Installations

Camloc delivers disc tumbler locks that solve the biggest headache in multi-cabinet installations — key management. Compatible with all other locks in the #390 key code family, their keyed-alike system means one key opens every lock on the job. Contractors can secure an entire office or apartment complex without carrying a janitor’s keyring.

The real value shows when you’re installing 20 cabinets in a break room or 50 lockers in a school. Order everything keyed alike to #390, #642, or whatever code you need. Hand the customer one key instead of a bag full. This particular lock has passed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 cycle tests, meaning it can withstand at least 20,000 cycles of key insertion and removal — that’s 27 years of daily use.

Dual-Cam System Covers Every Door Configuration

Includes both straight and formed cams for overlay or flush mounting. The Straight cam (1-1/2” extension) for lipped or overlay doors handles standard cabinet construction. The Formed cam (1-1/8” extension with 11/32” offset) for flush installations covers inset doors without needing a separate lock model.

This flexibility matters on remodels where you’re matching existing cabinetry. Stock one lock type, switch cams as needed. The 90° stop washer prevents over-rotation that could damage door edges or allow the cam to slip past the strike.

The Standard 3/4” mounting hole makes it a drop-in replacement for most major furniture lock brands (Olympus, CCL, etc.). No drilling new holes in finished cabinets. The 5-disc mechanism provides commercial-grade security without the complexity of pin tumblers.

Available in 7/16”, 5/8”, 7/8”, 1-1/8”, and 1-3/8” to accommodate thinner or thicker panels. Match the cylinder length to your door thickness — too short won’t engage, too long sticks out awkwardly.

The Bottom Line

Camloc locks hit the sweet spot between security and simplicity. The keyed-alike options save real time on large installations. Twenty thousand cycles of tested durability means callbacks won’t eat your profits. The math works for both new construction and retrofits.

Skip these for high-security applications — Disc-tumbler mechanism provides standard security for residential and commercial furniture, not bank vaults. But for standard cabinet security where convenience matters as much as protection, Camloc delivers contractor-grade performance.
