CCL
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CCL from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the CCL combination cam locks with nickel and chrome finishes?
The primary difference is the surface finish. Nickel-plated models, such as MPN 39023, use a zinc die-cast body with a nickel finish. Chrome-plated models, such as MPN 39022, 39052, 39053, 39021, and 39051, use a zinc die-cast body with a chrome-plated finish. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance, but chrome typically offers a brighter, more reflective appearance. The choice between them may depend on aesthetic requirements or specific environmental conditions. Both types are combination cam locks with user-set combinations and are suitable for securing cabinets, lockers, and enclosures. The underlying construction and mechanism are similar, so selection often comes down to finish preference or availability.
What is the cam length of the CCL combination cam locks supplied by 3G Electric?
Many of the CCL combination cam locks in the 3G Electric catalog feature a 1-1/4 inch straight cam. This includes models with MPNs 39052, 39053, 39021, and 39051. The cam length is a critical dimension for ensuring proper engagement with the locking mechanism and alignment with the enclosure frame. It is important to verify that the cam length matches the application's requirements, as different enclosure thicknesses or latch designs may need specific cam lengths. The product data provided by 3G Electric includes the straight cam length for each applicable model, allowing buyers to select the correct part. For replacement cams, such as MPNs F178-50 and F118-18, the cam is designed for compatibility with standard security equipment parts.
Can the combination on CCL cam locks be changed by the user?
Yes, the CCL combination cam locks described in the 3G Electric catalog feature a user-set combination. This means the combination can be set or changed by the user, providing keyless access without the need for a key. This is particularly useful in applications where access needs to be granted to multiple individuals or where key control is impractical. The user-set mechanism allows for customization at the point of installation or later if the combination needs to be changed. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for setting or changing the combination to ensure proper function and security. The locks are designed for securing cabinets, lockers, drawers, and enclosures in industrial, commercial, and institutional settings.
What are the CCL replacement cams with MPNs F178-50 and F118-18 used for?
The CCL replacement cams with manufacturer part numbers F178-50 and F118-18 are components used in locking mechanisms to engage or disengage the locking bolt. They are replacement parts for security equipment, specifically for cabinets, lockers, and similar enclosures. These cams are constructed for compatibility with standard security equipment parts, allowing for maintenance or repair of existing locking systems. They are not complete lock assemblies but rather individual components that may wear out or need replacement. When ordering, it is essential to verify the part number and compatibility with the specific lock model. 3G Electric supplies these replacement cams as part of its CCL product range, with global logistics support.
What types of enclosures are CCL combination cam locks suitable for?
CCL combination cam locks are suitable for securing cabinets, lockers, drawers, enclosures, and panel doors. They are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and institutional settings where a keyless locking solution is required. The zinc die-cast construction with nickel or chrome plating provides durability and corrosion resistance, making them appropriate for indoor environments. The 1-1/4 inch straight cam is designed to engage with standard cam lock cutouts and latching mechanisms. These locks are not typically rated for outdoor or high-security applications unless specifically stated. For outdoor use, additional protection or a different lock type may be necessary. 3G Electric provides these locks for a range of applications, and buyers should review the specifications to ensure suitability for their specific enclosure.
