Furniture locks

The most common type is the cylinder cam lock, which fits into a hole in the door or drawer front. Turning the key swings the cam behind the cabinet frame, so the door cannot be opened. The cylinder length is chosen according to the door thickness, which is why there are short locks for thin sheet metal and longer ones for thick wooden panels.

Keyless combination locks open with a three-digit code. Hidden RFID locks are mounted inside the cabinet, are not visible from the outside and unlock when a card is held against wood up to about 30 mm thick. They run on batteries, which need replacing in good time.

For caravans, motorhomes and boats, push-button locks are a good choice: they lock with a single press and stop doors from swinging open while driving. They also work on ordinary furniture, where the protruding button doubles as a handle.

Before choosing furniture locks, measure the door thickness and the hole diameter so that the lock sits firmly and the cam reaches behind the frame. For keyed locks, it is worth keeping a spare key outside the cabinet.
