Title: Could someone tell me what lock/cam type I need for this cab?
Post by: TheRed on August 13, 2005, 06:41:32 pm

Hello, new to the forum here so sorry if this isn't the right place for this. I am trying to secure my control panel and don't know what the right type of cam is for the 5/8" tubular lock I need. Here are some pictures that might help....but the cam on the locks in there were gone when I got the cabinet. When the CP comes down the metal part that the cam should turn into is not parralel to where the lock goes through. As you can see, the metel that the lock is mounted into is slanted and the CP is parallel to the ground.

Here's a couple of great lock companies with very reasonable prices:

Lock America
www.laigroup.com/cat_vending/tocvend.htm

And be sure to look at the "Cams & Accessories" page when you get there.

Baton Lock USA

 Hey, thanks! Do you think maybe the ones with the hook/latch type cam in this picture would work? (top felt)

I kinda think the hook style would be right for this application.

yeah, I am not 100% on this either...but hey, at least now I have seen other possibilities.

I wonder if they would just sell a couple of them to me...or if there's a min. order there....



either way, thanks for the input

Maybe you could ask them for a free sample?

I am not sure if you're serious, but the worst they can say is no :)
