Quarter-Turns or Cam-Locks are locking mechanisms that feature multiple parts consisting of a housing, insert, and a metal lever called a cam or pawl. Traditionally, the insert is assembled into the housing and secured to the cam on the back side. Actuating the insert rotates the cam between the locked and unlocked position, often behind the frame of the enclosures.
Quarter-turns, or cam-locks, are ideal for a wide range of uses and applications. They can be customized and ordered in many different materials such as polyamide, stainless steel, or zinc die-cast. DIRAK, Inc. offers many standard options to traditional quarter-turns and cam-locks, such as: customized sealing properties, grounding clips, compression systems, DST, and various actuation methods such as T-handles, L-handles, and wing knobs.
