Camlock Systems offers a diverse range of robust switchlocks designed to provide an extra layer of security and control.

Our switchlocks, also known as key-operated switches, ensure restricted access to vital functions, making them perfect for charging units, machinery, and alarm panels.

Here's what sets our switchlocks apart:

Toggle & Momentary Switches: Select from toggle switches for simple open/close operations or momentary switches that require a turn-and-hold action.

Reprogrammable Keys: Easily restore security with our changeable key combination feature in case of lost or stolen keys.

Our flagship Radial Pin mechanism balances physical security and flexibility, providing high manipulation and attack resistance in a variety of high-quality materials. We also offer traditional flat key options and more complex high-security mechanisms with patent protection and key registration.

Waterproof Options: Our range includes waterproof switchlocks, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments.

Security Levels: Choose from various security levels to match your specific needs, from basic to high-security options.

Backup for Electronic Lock Systems: Offering a dependable secondary layer of security.

All our switchlocks comply with LVD and CE regulations.

Pushlocks

Pushlocks (or ‘plunger locks’) are spring-loaded cylindrical locks with a locking pin at the rear.

Generally, these are used on sliding doors or other applications where the lock is required to prevent lateral movement.

Normally, pushlocks work on a push-to-lock/key-to-unlock principle. Pushing the lock ‘head’ moves the central barrel and the locking pin, which protrudes at the rear to lock the application. A turn of the key allows the spring-loaded barrel to ‘pop out’ to the open position and retract the locking pin. As an alternative, we also offer a key-to-lock/key-to-unlock action.

These versatile locks are used for securing display cases, cabinets, street furniture, cupboard doors, boxes, drawers, juke boxes, pool tables and many other applications.

Many of the radial pin tumbler pushlocks feature our award winning ‘Octagon’ mechanism, which makes unauthorised key duplication virtually impossible. We offer conventional 7-pin and 10-pin types for when unit cost is the primary requirement.

You also have the option of a changeable combination (or ‘reprogrammable’) type known as ‘Camatic’, which enables you to restore security quickly and easily if a key is lost or stolen.

In addition, the range includes disc tumbler pushlocks and a simple, tamper-proof, triangular drive ‘spanner lock’.

Case study:
Vending OEM

Camlock Systems partnered with a high-end vending OEM to provide a high-end locking solution to match their machines. All whilst reducing installation and servicing time.

Vending

The Brief

An original equipment manufacturer of high-end vending machines had been using inexpensive locks manufactured in Asia. Though the price was good, the quality was inconsistent and led to lots of in-field hours reworking the locks. Slight variances in the length affected the operation of the cam, and over time the malfunction would increase until the lock would grind to a halt and cease working.

the Challenges

Supply a product with longevity to avoid performance degradation
Provide consistent quality to avoid in-field problems
Reduce installation hours without busting the budget

Camlock systems solutions

It was critical that we reduced the amount of time needed to install and service machines, saving our customer hours and hours of labour and frustration.

We provided the Series 28 Octagon Cam Lock, an all-brass product that stands up to indoor and outdoor elements without degradation. Each lock is manufactured to exacting standards and provides smooth operation from the very beginning. Because these locks are made to last, and because our narrow tolerances allowed the customer to fit locks into every machine with no need for adjustments, in-factory and in-field work hours tweaking or servicing the locks was eliminated entirely. Installation became a quick, easy process.
