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’.

Case study:
KMS Europe

Camlock Systems collaborated with KMS Europe through the design, testing and delivery phases to devise superior protection for their new state-of-the-art ordering kiosks.

Smarter Locking For Self Service Machines

KIOSK: Self
Service terminals

The Brief

When KMS Europe was asked to design and build a state-of-the-art ordering kiosk, they needed a lock with superior protection to meet the demands of their bespoke technology. The multi-branded fast-food ordering kiosks were the first of their kind in the UK, developed by KMS for the UK's leading service station business Welcome Break.

Tasked with developing both the software and hardware for the kiosks, KMS collaborated with Camlock Systems from the design stage, through to prototype testing and delivery to find a smart locking solution.

the Challenges

Secure payment terminals and printer technology for bespoke cabinetry
Meet exacting standards of the Welcome Break security team to pass their penetration and manipulation testing
Devise a feasible solution that supports key management across sites
Flexible, responsive approach to changing requirments throughout the project

systems solution

In the prototype phase the kiosks were fitted with our Series 31 Cam Lock to meet the requirements within the initial brief for a lock with excellent ease of use for staff across the Welcome Break sites.

However, when the client expressed a need for increased security to pass their penetration and manipulation testing, Camlock devised a solution to ensure the systems could be keyed alike in suites with an overriding master key. Our flexible responsive approach to locking solutions ensures the highest levels of security for this cutting edge technology, used by thousands of people each day on the UK's road network.

“To have a partner like Camlock gives KMS great comfort that we have a knowledgeable partner with vast experience in this field and to have the ability to provide a solution for all our needs. KMS pride in our Kiosk design and security is a fundamental part of the design.”
