Enhance Your Electronic Systems with Camlock's Switchlocks!

Camlock Systems offers a diverse range of robust switchlocks designed to provide an extra layer of security and control.

Our switchlocks, also known as key-operated switches, ensure restricted access to vital functions, making them perfect for charging units, machinery, and alarm panels.

Here's what sets our switchlocks apart:

Toggle & Momentary Switches: Select from toggle switches for simple open/close operations or momentary switches that require a turn-and-hold action.

Reprogrammable Keys: Easily restore security with our changeable key combination feature in case of lost or stolen keys.

Advanced Security Mechanisms: Developed with customer needs in mind, our cylinders are designed to protect a wealth of commercial and OEM applications, offering mid to high-security options to choose from. Our flagship Radial Pin mechanism balances physical security and flexibility, providing high manipulation and attack resistance in a variety of high-quality materials. We also offer traditional flat key options and more complex high-security mechanisms with patent protection and key registration.

Waterproof Options: Our range includes waterproof switchlocks, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments.

Security Levels: Choose from various security levels to match your specific needs, from basic to high-security options.

Our switchlocks have proven their reliability and effectiveness in numerous applications, including:

EV Car Charging Stations: Securing access to charging units.

Roadside Cabinetry: Providing robust security for outdoor equipment.

Backup for Electronic Lock Systems: Offering a dependable secondary layer of security.

All our switchlocks comply with LVD and CE regulations.

Pushlocks

Pushlocks (or ‘plunger locks’) are spring-loaded cylindrical locks with a locking pin at the rear.

Generally, these are used on sliding doors or other applications where the lock is required to prevent lateral movement.

Normally, pushlocks work on a push-to-lock/key-to-unlock principle. Pushing the lock ‘head’ moves the central barrel and the locking pin, which protrudes at the rear to lock the application. A turn of the key allows the spring-loaded barrel to ‘pop out’ to the open position and retract the locking pin. As an alternative, we also offer a key-to-lock/key-to-unlock action.

These versatile locks are used for securing display cases, cabinets, street furniture, cupboard doors, boxes, drawers, juke boxes, pool tables and many other applications.

Many of the radial pin tumbler pushlocks feature our award winning ‘Octagon’ mechanism, which makes unauthorised key duplication virtually impossible. We offer conventional 7-pin and 10-pin types for when unit cost is the primary requirement.

You also have the option of a changeable combination (or ‘reprogrammable’) type known as ‘Camatic’, which enables you to restore security quickly and easily if a key is lost or stolen.

In addition, the range includes disc tumbler pushlocks and a simple, tamper-proof, triangular drive ‘spanner lock’.

case study:
Bristol water plc

With 1.2million customers to deliver fresh water to every day, Bristol Water rely on Camlock's security solutions to secure their sites and support their operational challenges.

Water utility provider

The Brief

With a customer base of 1.2 million people, Bristol Water is relied upon every day to deliver clean, fresh drinking water to the community they serve. A large part of that role is keeping sites and equipment secured to ensure their operations run effectively and service isn't disrupted. Many of their sites are in isolated, rural locations, so Bristol Water relies on remote monitoring via CCTV. When key losses and key management for CCTV cabinetry became risk factors for the company, they tasked Camlock Systems with improving their security and minimising their costs from key losses.

the Challenges

Preventing unauthorised access to CCTV controls at numerous, remote sites
Devise a new key management system to accommodate staff changes and multiple key holders
Formulate a solution that does not compromise security in the event of a lost key
Minimise costs of keys and the associated
change over

the solution

To really understand the issues faced by Bristol Water, we took a consultative approach to their brief, working closely with their security and facilities management staff. They highlighted the financial, logistical and management costs associated with their existing key control. Camlock Systems recommended using the Series T48 - a changeable mechanism, which enabled Bristol Water to maintain security without swapping to new locks in the event of a lost key or change in key holder.

This solution not only reduces the associated costs and time wasted in changing locks, but ensures the optimal security of their equipment.

“We are pleased to partner with Camlock Systems. Their team took the time to understand the needs of our organisation and the responsibility we have to our customers. Not only did we end up with a reliable and secure locking solution, we were able to reduce the associated costs in the process.”
