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:

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’.

How Vendanor implemented a simple upgrade to smarter locking to enhance their business operations

"We are most impressed with the follow up care and service from the whole company, Camlock are very solution-oriented people"
- Harold CEO Vendanor

The problem

Mechanical locking was no longer serving Vendanor's needs, and key management had become a hinderance. To achieve their international expansion goals, they required a secure locking system that enabled them to control their machines remotely.

Vendanor began their journey in 2013 with a clear vision: Create a range of vending machines that promote the sustainable sale of refillable propane gas cylinders and washer fluid.

Developed in Nordic climates, their easy-to-install machines are built to withstand extreme enviornments.

They stuck to their values along the way, making integrity, quality, flexibility and well-being core elements of everything they do.

Now, as an independent technology development and production company they have developed and deployed to date 732 unmatched cloud integrated, self-service vending machines, across 8 countries.

How Camlock Systems and Vendanor became partners

Upgrading to electronic locking was the obvious choice. Vendanor had learnt by doing, that mechanical locks had their limitations. Especially when they needed to gain or grant emergency access to service doors.

"We found having a mechanical key was not effective and would hinder our ability to post machines anywhere in Europe"

They needed an electronic lock that could be operate remotely, giving them control from the Head Office in Stryn.

They had previously struggled to find an electronic locking solution that offered the flexibility they needed. It was off the shelf products that either fit the product needs, or simply just didn't. They weren't able to customise a product around their needs, which is where the Series 100 came in.

How the series 100 has improved their products and business operations

Upgrading to the Series 100 has improved Vendanor's business operations by not only giving them enhanced security over their assets, but also data on who is accessing their machines, as well as when and why they're doing it.

"We knew Camlock were working on new electronic developments and trialled a prototype to start with. We were eager to get an electronic lock into our products that we could feed back on and influence our final design. Initially we had a small teething problem with the lock during the trial period. Shortly after it was flagged, we had agreed on a resolution and how to move forward. We've been happy ever since."

It's not just about the products

It's the service too. The aftercare. Our partnership in creating a personalised access control system.

"Camlock are very solution-oriented people.

From our account contact Richard to the engineering team. If we have an issue or question, it's escalated to the right contacts straight away and a meeting is scheduled. We can have direct contact to the right teams, who help us get to a resolution straight away."
