0801 20MM CAMLOCK

Product Details

Is the 0801 camlock suitable for cabinet doors and cupboards?

Yes. The 0801 20MM camlock is designed for use on furniture and cabinet applications where a compact catch and locking action is required. It is commonly used for cupboards, storage units and other living or commercial storage solutions.

What does the 20MM in 0801 refer to?

The 20MM refers to the lock size specification. This helps you match the camlock to the required cut out or mounting dimensions on your cabinet. If you are replacing an existing lock, checking the old lock size and opening dimensions is the best way to confirm compatibility.

Can I use this camlock as a replacement for an existing cabinet catch and bolt system?

Often, yes. Camlocks are typically replaced by matching the part number and the camlock size to the cabinet opening. Before ordering, compare the mounting hole or cut out size, and make sure the new lock matches the way your cabinet door locks and aligns.

Will this lock fit different door thicknesses?

It depends on the cabinet door thickness and the opening you have. Camlocks are installed through a specific cut out and rely on correct alignment with the strike mechanism. If your cabinet door thickness differs from the original fitting, you may need to confirm you have the right mounting components.

Does a camlock require a key for everyday use?

Yes. Like most cabinet camlocks, the locking action is operated by a key. This is useful for controlled access to storage, while still keeping the lock profile suitable for furniture and commercial units.

How do I ensure smooth operation once the camlock is fitted?

Correct alignment is key. After installation, check that the cam and catch meet cleanly when the door is closed. If the door or frame is slightly out of alignment, it can affect the lock engagement, so fitting the strike accurately will help ensure reliable operation.

Where is the 0801 camlock commonly used?

It is well suited to both living and commercial storage. You will commonly find camlocks on cabinets and storage units where a compact, practical locking solution is needed to protect items and keep access controlled.
