How to use cam locks
Did you know?
Cam locks are used to join t wo panels together, usually the edge of one to the flat side of another.
First, your cam bolt (or cam pin) will need to be properly inser ted into the flat side of the board.
Import ant Note: Only tighten the cam bolt until it is secure. Do not over-tighten.
Next, you will fit the proper hole on the edge of the associated joining panel over the cam bolt.
Import ant Note: When installed properly, the head of the cam bolt will be visible through the larger hole on the side of the joining panel.
Next, you will notice the cam lock has a “C” shaped back. Commonly, an arrow on the front of the cam lock points in the same direct ion as the open sec tion on back
Using these as your cue, insert the cam lock into the large hole so the opening of the “C” fits over the head of the cam bolt.
Using a screwdriver, you will turn the cam lock until it stops, usually between 130º or 180º. You will feel the panels pulling closer until they are secured.
Import ant Note: Only turn the cam lock until the panels are fully engaged & feel secure. Turning too far may lead to hardware failure
Still having issues?
If a cam lock seem s to be spinning in place or is not “catching” or pulling the panel s together as expected , first remo ve the cam loc k & tr y agai n whil e ma ki ng sure that every thin g is properly positoned & oriented.
If you are still having issues getting things worki ng as expected, firs t re move the cam lock then unscr ew th e cam bolt slightl y (les s than 1 complete turn) to see if that helps with the alignment of the cam lock & bolt
