Here are some notes for the maintenance of cam locks.
1. In the process of opening and closing the door on weekdays, it's better to hold the handle of cam locks, screw the lock tongue into the cam lock body, and let go after closing the door. Don't hit the door hard, otherwise the service life will be reduced. Don't wipe the cam lock body and handle with wet cloth, because the cam locks will rust. The coating of cam locks will be worn and the beautiful effect will be lost.
2. The rotating part of the cam lock body should always be lubricated to keep its rotation smooth and its service life can be prolonged. It is recommended to check the cam locks once a year or half a year, and check whether the fastening screws are loose in order to ensure the fastening.
3. In the process of using the cam lock head, when the key isn’t inserted smoothly, a small amount of graphite powder or pencil powder can be smeared into the groove of the cam lock cylinder to ensure that the key is inserted smoothly. However, do not add any other oil for lubrication. In order to avoid the grease sticking to the spring, the head of cam locks can not be rotated and can not be opened.
4. It is one regular thing to check the fit clearance between the cam lock body and the lock buckle plate frequently, and check whether the fit height of the lock tongue and the lock buckle plate hole is appropriate. The best fit clearance between doors and its frames is 1.5mm-2.5mm. If there is any change, adjust the position of door hinges or lock buckle plates.
5. In daily use, it can be removed with dry cloth if there is dirt. Do not use detergent and other chemicals to scrub it. Otherwise, it will damage the protective film of exposed parts and cause fading. Do not use wet cloth to wipe the cam lock body and the handle, because some kinds of cam locks will rust.
6. When the main cam lock tongue or safety lock tongue is out of the door, do not impact it violently for fear that the cam lock tongue and the door frame are damaged. Because the sealing strip installed between the door body and the door frame has an elastic effect, you can push or pull the door by hand to overcome the elastic force when the handle or key is used to unlock the tight door. Do not rotate the handle or key strongly to open the door so as to avoid breaking the handle or key.
