When it comes to security of your business and assets, limiting access to a building is what we think of first. However, there are many areas within your business walls that also need to be protected. Think about cash boxes, controlled inventory cabinets, privileged files, etc. Cam locks can be very important when it comes to securing your assets inside your business.
What is a cam lock?
Cam locks are the type of hardware locks used typically for securing cabinets, drawers and other furnishings. They have cylinder fasteners, a metal tube with a hole in one side that secures the tongue of the accompanying bolt and requires a key to unlock. Oftentimes, cam locks may be placed in joints in order to make them more secure.
Consider your security level
When choosing a cam lock, here are the main things to consider. What level of security do you need and what type of material is the enclosure made of? Cam locks require key access, so how many keys do you require and what type of key will you need for this lock? There are a variety of different styles of cam locks to select from, so consider the type of cam lock and the type of cam stop that will best suit your needs.
RA-Lock offers cam locks that span a broad range of security needs. Security level is defined by pick resistance, drill resistance, impressioning difficulty and key code variations. Think about the probability that a thief can easily purchase a key with the same key code. Having a very high number of code variants helps prevent this.
