Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DELTA LOCK from 3G Electric.
What is an interchangeable core cam lock from Delta Lock?
Delta Lock interchangeable core cam locks are chrome-plated mechanical locks that allow the core to be removed and replaced without taking the lock body off the panel. This enables quick rekeying when access needs change. They are available with clockwise or counterclockwise unlock rotation and with straight cam lengths of 2 inches or 3 inches. Typical applications include cabinets, panels, lockers, and industrial enclosures. The locks are specified by part number, and 3G Electric stocks multiple variants.
What are the dimensions of the Delta Lock plunger lock for sliding doors?
The Delta Lock plunger lock for sliding doors measures 1 3/8 inches in height and 1 3/8 inches in width. It is a compact locking solution intended for machinery enclosures and similar sliding door applications. The manufacturer part number for the sample SKU is G GI0500BC SL. This lock is designed for surface mounting on sliding doors where space is limited. Buyers should confirm the door thickness and mounting hole pattern before ordering.
How do I choose between clockwise and counterclockwise unlock Delta Lock cam locks?
The unlock rotation determines the direction the key turns to release the cam. Choose clockwise or counterclockwise based on the mounting orientation and the user's natural access direction. Delta Lock offers both versions in its interchangeable core cam lock line. For example, SKU 33HF50 is clockwise unlock, while SKU 400WT9 is counterclockwise unlock. Matching the existing lock's rotation ensures consistent operation across a panel or cabinet. If replacing a lock, note the original rotation before ordering.
What cam lengths are available for Delta Lock interchangeable core cam locks?
Delta Lock interchangeable core cam locks are available with straight cam lengths of 2 inches and 3 inches. The cam length must match the panel thickness and the desired engagement with the keeper or frame. For example, SKU 33HF52 has a 2-inch straight cam, and SKU 33HF53 has a 3-inch straight cam. Using the correct cam length ensures proper locking and prevents interference. 3G Electric lists cam length in the specifications for each SKU.
Are Delta Lock cam locks suitable for outdoor use?
Delta Lock cam locks have a chrome-plated finish, which provides some corrosion resistance, but they are not explicitly rated for outdoor or washdown environments. For outdoor applications, additional protection or a different lock type may be required. The standard cam locks are intended for indoor use on cabinets, panels, and enclosures. Buyers should verify the environmental conditions and any specific IP rating requirements. 3G Electric can provide datasheets for the specific SKU to confirm suitability.
