1342 CAMLOCK 32MM

Product Details

Will the 1342 CAMLOCK 32MM fit my existing cabinet or furniture?

The 1342 CAMLOCK 32MM is designed for a 32 mm camlock application, making it suitable for many cabinets and furniture builds that use the standard camlock size. If you are replacing an old camlock, measure the lock body and confirm the camlock size matches 32 mm before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

How does a camlock mechanism work for cabinets and cupboards?

This style of camlock uses a turn action to engage the cam and pull the doors or panels securely. Once fitted, you align the cam and lock components, then rotate the cam to latch. The result is a compact, easy to operate locking solution that helps keep cabinet doors closed.

What should I check to ensure the cam and receiver align correctly?

Alignment is key for smooth operation. Before final tightening, position the cam and matching receiver so they line up when the door is closed. Check door closing position and confirm the hole spacing on your furniture, as misalignment can cause stiffness or prevent the lock from fully engaging.

Can I use the 1342 CAMLOCK 32MM on living and commercial cabinets?

Yes, camlocks are commonly used in both home and workplace installations because they are small, practical and secure for storage units. If your cabinet sees regular use, choose a proper installation setup and ensure the surface is solid enough to hold the fixings securely.

Is this camlock a good option for keeping doors shut on cupboards?

Absolutely. The 1342 CAMLOCK 32MM is made for locking cabinet doors and helps reduce the chance of doors swinging open. For best results, pair it with appropriate catches and a correctly positioned receiver plate so the door closes firmly and the lock turns smoothly.

Do I need any special tools to fit the 1342 CAMLOCK 32MM?

You will typically need basic hand tools for fitting, such as a suitable screwdriver and measuring tools for marking the fixing points. Accurate measurements and clean drilling help prevent damage and support reliable locking. If you are unsure, compare your cabinet’s existing fittings and hole positions with the new camlock.

Why choose this camlock size instead of a different one?

Camlocks are sized by the lock body and cam fit, so selecting the correct option is important. Choosing the 32 mm version helps ensure the camlock operates correctly and the door latches securely. If you want a direct, tidy replacement or a matching fit for new furniture, the 1342 CAMLOCK 32MM is a dependable choice.
