Mounting orientation is important when selecting lock bodies because it determines how and where the lock can be installed—whether vertically, horizontally, on the front, or even for double-door or opposite mounting. The best orientation depends on the application: vertical mounts are often best for cabinet doors, while horizontal mounts may fit drawers or specific door styles. Some locks, such as the CB-165 Lock Cam Kit, offer both horizontal and vertical mounting, making them versatile for various situations. With a wide range of orientations available, including products like the CB-280 Lock Cyl Body (horizontal) and CB-240 Lock Cyl Body (vertical), buyers can choose the best fit for their specific installation needs.
