Cam locks with keys for lockers

A locker cam lock with keys is a type of lock commonly used in lockers, cabinets, drawers, and other storage units. It consists of a cylindrical lock body (the cam lock) that is operated by a key. When the correct key is inserted and turned, the lock's cam rotates, either locking or unlocking the mechanism.

To install a locker cam lock, you'll typically need to drill a hole in the door or drawer where you want to place the lock. Then, insert the lock body into the hole and secure it in place with a nut or washer on the backside of the door. Finally, attach the cam (the part that rotates to lock or unlock) to the lock body. Detailed installation instructions are usually provided with the lock.

Locker cam locks with keys can provide a reasonable level of security, but their effectiveness depends on factors such as the quality of the lock and the strength of the key. High-quality cam locks with well-designed keys can be quite secure for low to medium-security applications. However, for high-security needs, other types of locks, such as electronic or combination locks, may be more suitable.
