To use Cam Lock
Fasteners:
Step 1 - Insert
Cam Pin into the
flat side of a
board. Tighten
only until snug. Do
not over-tighten.
Step 2 - Fit the
hole in the
edge of the
joining board
over the Cam
Pin. The head
of the Cam Pin
will be visible
in the large
hole in the side
of the joining
board, as in
Step 3.
Step 3 - Notice the Cam Lock has a “C”-shaped
back. An arrow on the front points the same
direction as the open section. Insert the Cam Lock
into the large hole so the opening of the “C” fits
over the head of the Cam Pin.
Step 4 - Use a flat screwdriver to turn the Cam Lock clockwise
one half a turn so it locks onto the head of the Cam Pin. Turn
only until it is snug – over-tightening could cause the Cam to
bend or break.
If it will not turn the full amount, turn the Cam Pin out (counter-
clockwise) one full turn, and try the Cam Lock again.
