Illinois Lock Co. has introduced a plastic cam lock (PC634) that offers users a lower-cost choice over the traditional zinc die-cast cam lock. The PC634 is designed to meet the needs of those looking to reduce lock weight and cost while maintaining a good level of security.
The new plastic cam lock features a glass-filled nylon barrel and plug. This reduces the weight and the cost of the lock significantly over the traditional die-cast zinc lock, without significantly affecting its ability to provide adequate security.
The new lock is available in black and includes 8 tumbler double-bitted keying, offering 50 key codes. Most of its features parallel those of the traditional die cast metal cam lock. Either nut or clip mounting is available, and there is a range of straight, formed or hook cams to choose from.
