How to use

Install the cam lock into the prepared aperture in the enclosure or panel wall, aligning the cam with the strike or latch on the frame.

Operate the lock by rotating the key or actuator to move the cam between locked and unlocked positions. Verify that the cam catches the frame or keeper consistently and that the door closes flush without binding.

Periodic inspection and light lubrication of the cam pivot can extend service life. Use the lock within its intended mechanical application and environment; avoid exposure to corrosive substances without additional protective measures.
