A lock refers to a device that serves as a sealing device, including a lock, key, and accessories. Of course, there are also many types of locks, and a cam lock is one of them. So, what are the notes for opening a cam lock? Let's learn more about it together.

(1) During the normal process of opening and closing doors, the cam lock needs to be rotated into the lock body, closed the door, and then released. Avoid forcefully hitting the door lock in daily life, otherwise, it will reduce its service life.

(2) Because the material of the cam lock is all metal, wiping it with a damp cloth may rust and reduce its service life. The surface coating of alloy locks is prone to wipe off, which can affect their appearance.

(3) Because the lock body rotates and wears out for a long time, it becomes less flexible over time. To maintain its flexibility in rotation and service life, lubricant is regularly applied to the transmission part of the lock body to maintain its transmission.

(4) When it is found that the key insertion and extraction are not smooth during use, a small amount of graphite powder can be added to the lock core slot to ensure smooth key insertion and extraction. However, it should be noted that oil cannot be added to the lock core groove for lubrication, otherwise, the grease will stick to the spring.

(5) When using the cam lock, it is necessary to regularly check the fit gap between the lock body and the lock buckle plate, as well as the height fit between the lock cam and the lock buckle plate hole, to ensure that the distance between them is appropriate. If there is a change in the spacing, the position of the hinge or latch plate on the lock door can be adjusted.

(6) When the lock cam is outside the door, you can use the key to gently unlock it, and at the same time, push the door by hand to provide customer service with elasticity. However, avoid violent impacts to prevent damage to the locking cam and door frame.
