Pocster Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hey! Bought 2 boxes to house modem etc. - they are pretty good!. I choose these as it said 'lockable' . Now I have them I can see it's just a simple triangle key i.e. anyone can open them. Googled it but can't see if it's possible to replace this lock with a proper key lock i.e. when you turn the key the bolt rotates down to lock it. Any help appreciated!

Pocster Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Didn’t realise until now they were called cam locks . Learn something new everyday ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Davies Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Oh, useful, would be handy to replace the lock on my post box which is a PITA to open sometimes. What does the dimension refer to, the hole size or the length of the cam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's described as “width (mm)” and they look like they're supposed to go in fairly thin sheet metal, not something 20mm thick or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example: https://uk.rs-online.com/mobile/p/camlocks-cabinet-locks/3222562/ That's the difference between T'station & RS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
