CompX Timberline C165CB Cam Lock Kit – Universal Cabinet and Drawer Security
The CompX Timberline C165CB Cam Lock Kit is a versatile, universal cam lock solution engineered for commercial and light industrial cabinet and drawer applications. Designed to accommodate a wide range of locking situations, this kit provides flexible installation for both door and drawer configurations without the need for multiple separate components.
Product Overview
The C165CB kit ships with a cylinder body and a selection of interchangeable cams — including both straight and bent cams — so installers can configure the lock to match virtually any cabinet or drawer geometry. Bent cams feature a 15/32" setback, accommodating recessed or offset mounting conditions. The cylinder is supplied unplated, making it suitable for applications where a custom finish or anodized treatment will be applied in the field.
Cam rotation is 90° or 180°, locking in the counter-clockwise (CCW) direction — a standard orientation that integrates easily with existing keying systems and master key programs.
Note: The lock plug (cylinder core / keyed insert) is ordered separately, allowing buyers to specify their preferred keyway, keying level (keyed alike, keyed different, master keyed), or restricted keyway system to suit facility key control requirements.
