2. Disc Tumbler Cam Lock

Matters needing attention in selecting cam locks:

1. Confidentiality
 
That is the reliability of the lock with confidentiality. It is mainly determined by the structure (such as the arrangement of blades and the action of springs).
 
2. Firmness
 
The degree of the lock's ability to resist external damage is mainly considered by the material used in the lock.
 
3. Long Effect
 
That is, the effective length of the tumbler, which determines whether the cam lock is matched with the equipment.
 
4. Durability
 
It refers to the service life of the lock. There are two main factors to consider: first, the stability of the structure; second, the materials used with anti-corrosion and waterproof ability.
 
5. Mutual Opening Rate
