New Cam Locks from Southco Offer Durability and Design
Concordville, PA, November 10, 2003-A new line of cam locks from Southco is designed specifically for panels that require secure key-locking or manual access without compression. These new cam locks offer smooth, consistent operation with a modern, stylized appearance. They are durable and are ideal for applications that must meet demanding the NEMA 4 and IP-66 requirements where dust, dirt, and liquid contaminants are an issue.
The distinctive styling of these cam locks complements modern enclosure and cabinet design, as well as other Southco access hardware, allowing for a consistent look throughout an application. Standard finishes for these latches include chrome plate or black powder coat. These cam locks feature a stainless steel lock cover for scratch resistance and an O-ring for a complete seal of the internal latch components.
Available in two styles, these latches operate with an easy fraction of a turn. The manual-operated wing-head style offers a detent in both the open and closed positions, providing a positive indication of opened/closed status. The second style provides multiple key-codes for secure, restricted access. An overmolded key cover with custom logo imprinting is available. Contact Southco for details.
Four standard cam offsets are available to accommodate a wide grip range. Each cam latch can be installed with positive or negative offset for even more flexibility. Additional options in the housing length can help accommodate various panel thicknesses and application differences. Southco cam locks are also available in either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation for left-and right-hand installations. The latches install quickly into a standard three-quarter inch double-D shaped hole.
Southco cam locks can be used in a variety of applications, including enclosures, kiosks, and electrical/control equipment, vending equipment, furniture, food service, RVs, and off-highway equipment. They are backed by Southco's full line of engineered access solutions and complement the company's existing range of products, providing customers a single source for all their access hardware requirements.
