Cam or bolt type and length influence how the lock secures the door or lid. The best option provides a strong, reliable hold for your specific application. For example, the Padlockable Cam Cabinet Lock features a 1-5/8" straight cam, while the CompX C8384-KA-3 uses a hook bolt with 5/16" travel for more secure engagement. Multiple cam and bolt options are available to suit different levels of security and installation preferences.
