Switchlocks

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.

Cost Levels: We offer switchlocks at different price points, ensuring you get the best value for your budget without compromising on quality.

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’.
