ASSA 8450 and 10450 Cam Locks for Lockers
ASSA 8450 and 10450 cam locks are five-pin mechanical locks for lockers, cabinets and secure storage doors. Both models use a 90-degree locking action and retain the key until the cam is returned to the locked position.
The main difference is the supported door thickness. The ASSA 8450 is designed for doors up to 16 mm thick, while the longer ASSA 10450 is suitable for doors up to 22 mm thick.

Choosing Between the ASSA 8450 and 10450
Select the ASSA 8450 where the locker or cabinet door is no more than 16 mm thick. Choose the ASSA 10450 where the door thickness is greater than 16 mm but no more than 22 mm.
Door thickness is only one part of lock compatibility. The door preparation, cam-arm length, cam offset, handing and frame engagement must also match the installation.
Key-Retaining Cam Lock Operation
The key turns through 90 degrees and can only be removed when the cam is in the locked position. This key-retaining operation helps prevent users from removing the key while leaving the locker or cabinet unsecured.
Right-hand operation is standard. A left-hand version must be specified where the locker-door layout requires the lock to operate in the opposite direction.
Keying and Master-Key Options
ASSA 8450 and 10450 cam locks can be incorporated into suitable master-key systems. Keying arrangements depend on the selected cylinder system and the access-control requirements of the site.
When ordering replacement locks, provide any existing ASSA key, cylinder or master-key reference. Do not assume that two visually identical locks use the same key system.
Replacement keys are available through our locker key service .
ASSA Cam Arm Compatibility
The cam arm connects the lock to the locker frame. Its length, offset, orientation and fixing position determine whether the door closes and locks correctly.
Existing cam arms should be measured rather than selected from their appearance alone. Compare available profiles on our ASSA cam arm page .
