Degol: What do I need to consider when choosing the right furniture cam lock?

There are many different variations of furniture cam locks with different styles, thickness, size etc to choose from. For example, there are mini furniture cam locks that are ideal for use in furniture that has a limited surface area where space for a normal size furniture cam lock may not be available i.e. personal storage lockers. So to ensure that you select the right cam lock for your item of furniture, here are our tips to help guide you in your choice:

• Consider the level of security that you require the furniture camlock to provide.

• The application e.g. what type of material is the lock going to be installed into? 

• The handling and style of the furniture cam lock that you require and the importance of style vs functionality.

• The environment in which the furniture will be located i.e. is there any material nearby that could affect the functionality of the cam lock, are you constrained by space when operating the furniture cam lock etc.

• Is the furniture cam lock to be operated by more than one person? If so, there may be an issue with secure key storage to consider and you may wish to look at a combination or electronic lock.
