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:

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’.

To help Impulse Autovend South Ltd restore the security of their vending machines, Camlock Systems responded quickly to conduct a thorough assessment of the threats.

After careful analysis, we recommended a Series T8 Locking Insert compatible with high-security pop-out T-handles and padlocks.

One of the benefits of our interchangeable locking inserts is the ability to easily adjust security according to specific risks or to upgrade security, without replacing the locking handle or padlock. It also makes unauthorized key duplication virtually impossible, while keys for this lock can be registered to ensure that keys are only issued to authorised Autovend employees. With Camlock's expert industry knowledge, we've helped Autovend protect their assets, restore functionality and avoid future losses.
