Install with confidence
How to install and adjust cam locks
Installing cam locks varies depending on the lock type and implementation, but most follow a straightforward process. Correct installation ensures smooth operation, proper alignment of the locking mechanism, and long-term strength in transport door systems.
01
Step 1 – Select the correct cam lock kit
Select a cam lock kit that suits your application, whether it features a recessed handle or a tubular cam arrangement. Confirm the rotation direction (left or right) and cam length before installation.
02
Step 2 – Prepare the mounting surface
Mark and cut the recess or mounting hole to the size of the lock housing. Ensure the surface is flat and clean for a tight, weather-resistant fit.
03
Step 3 – Install the cam and housing
Insert the camlock body through the cut-out and secure it with the retaining nut. Attach the cam arm or latch bolt in the correct position so it can engage and lock in place smoothly.
04
Step 4 – Test and adjust for alignment
Operate the handle or latch mechanism to ensure the cam turns freely and the catch engages securely. Adjust as needed for tension or clearance, then tighten fixings to final torque for reliable, heavy-duty performance.
