Notes for The Installation of Cam Lock

Here are some notes during the installation process of cam lock
                                                             Cam Lock

1. In the process of opening and closing the door at ordinary times, it is necessary to screw the lock tongue into the lock body, and then release it after closing the door. At ordinary times, avoid strong impact on the door lock. Otherwise, it will reduce the service life.

2. Because the material of the cam lock is metal, wiping it with a wet cloth may rust and reduce its service life. The alloy lock is easy to be wiped off the surface of the coating, thus it will affect the beauty.

3. Because the lock body is worn for a long time, it is not so flexible for a long time. In order to maintain the flexibility of its rotation and service life, the transmission part of the lock body should be lubricated regularly to maintain its transmission.

4. In the process of use, if it is found that the key is not inserted smoothly, a little graphite powder can be added into the lock cylinder groove to ensure that the key can be inserted and pulled smoothly. However, it should be noted that oil can not be added into the lock cylinder groove for lubrication. Otherwise, the grease will stick to the spring and the lock head will not be opened.

5. When using the rotary cam lock, it is necessary to regularly check the fit clearance between the lock body and the lock plate, and the high and low matching between the lock tongue and the lock plate hole to ensure the appropriate distance between them. If there is a change in the spacing, you can adjust the position of the hinge or lock plate on the lock door.

6. When the lock tongue is outside the door, you can use the key to gently unlock the door. At the same time, push the door by hand to meet the elasticity. However, violent impact should be avoided because the lock tongue and door frame may be damaged.
