Cam locks are the concealed fastener at the heart of most flat-pack and modular furniture. A cam lock assembly consists of a cylindrical cam set into one panel and a bolt or dowel set into the adjacent panel - when the cam is turned with a flat-bladed screwdriver, it draws the two panels firmly together in a locked, rigid joint. At the DIY Hardware Store, our camlocks cover the standard sizes used in furniture manufacturing and self-assembly cabinetry.
The 15mm diameter cam is the most widely used format, compatible with the drilling patterns used by most flat-pack furniture manufacturers. A quarter-turn of the cam draws and locks the connection - this is how the majority of flat-pack kitchen units, bedroom furniture, and office desks hold together without visible screws.
For anyone building custom cabinets, repairing stripped-out cam lock joints, or upgrading furniture with replacement fittings, the DIY Hardware Store stocks both cam discs and the corresponding connector bolts.
