MAKE ロックカンパニー
Summary: Looking to source high-quality カムロック? Consider the MAKE Security brand—a solution designed to address key pain points related to security, compatibility, and management.
Have you ever encountered a situation where a cam lock you purchased began to rust or jam after just six months—or worse, was easily pried open, leading to damage or loss of equipment and assets? Though they may seem like insignificant hardware, these small locks actually reflect the true “craftsmanship” of a manufacturer; choosing the wrong brand can easily lead to serious security vulnerabilities.
Components and Operating Principle of Cam Locks
The cam lock is a type of locking mechanism with a long history, a wide range of applications, and mature technology. It typically consists of a cam (tongue), a lock housing, a lock core (cylinder), and a key. These locks are extensively used in industrial and commercial sectors to provide security for equipment.
| Working principle of rotary tongue lock | |
| Unlock | Turn the key or knob to a certain angle, the bolt will disengage from the engagement point, the lock will be in the unlocked state, and the door can be opened. |
| Lock | Turn the key or knob to a certain angle, and the bolt will turn to the engagement point, locking the door and securing it in place. |
