Cam locks are known for being reliable, cost-effective, and easy to install, making them a popular choice for a wide range of applications. They can be utilized to prevent tampering with mechanical access panels and are commonly found in older styles of windows. Cam locks are also frequently used to secure school lockers and are associated with filing cabinets and desks, but can be found in many other settings as well. They are commonly used to secure electrical panels, trophy cases, and other display units. By conducting a market analysis of cam locks, it is possible to gain insight into the emerging trends, new technologies, and macro and micro factors that will influence the market in the years to come.
Cam locks come in various forms and can cater to different applications depending on their requirements. Large and robust locks are highly secure and can be used in high-security applications or on larger furniture pieces, while mini cam locks are suitable for limited room situations such as small panels. Standard steel or brass finishes are used for indoor applications, whereas outdoor applications require weather-resistant materials like galvanized or stainless steel. Cam locks can be opened with flat keys, rounded keys, or combination mechanisms. Flat keys are typically used to rotate the cam, while tubular keys may require pressing or hanging.
