CompX TB-C170CB Timberline Cam Lock Kit – Thick Panel

The CompX Timberline TB-C170CB is a heavy-duty cam lock kit engineered for thick-panel cabinet applications in commercial and industrial environments. Designed as a universal locking solution for both doors and drawers, this kit accommodates panel thicknesses ranging from 7/8" to 1-3/8" — making it ideal for heavier cabinet construction found in schools, offices, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and light manufacturing settings.

The lock housing ships ready to install and includes both a straight cam and a bent cam, giving installers flexibility to match the existing latching geometry of virtually any cabinet or drawer configuration. The key plug is ordered separately, allowing customers to specify keying options — including master key systems or keyed-alike arrangements — to meet facility access control requirements.

Key Features & Benefits

• Universal panel compatibility: Fits panel thickness from 7/8" to 1-3/8", covering a wide range of thick-panel cabinet and drawer applications
• Dual-cam included: Both straight and bent cams supplied with the housing for installation flexibility
• 90-degree cam rotation: Counter-clockwise (CCW) operation to lock — a familiar, intuitive action for end users
• Separate plug keying: Lock plug ordered independently, enabling custom keying configurations (keyed alike, master keyed, restricted keyway)
• Durable finish: Housings are unplated; cams are zinc plated for corrosion resistance
• Versatile application: Suitable for cabinet doors and drawers — a single SKU covers multiple opening types

Typical Applications

• Commercial office furniture and filing cabinets with thick panel construction
• School and institutional storage cabinets
• Healthcare and laboratory casework
• Industrial tool storage and equipment enclosures
• Retail display cases and storage furniture

Specifier & Installer Notes

Because the lock plug is supplied separately, specifiers and purchasing agents can select the cylinder to match an existing key system — including restricted keyway cylinders for facilities requiring key control. Verify the cam travel and offset required before selecting straight vs. bent cam for your application. The CCW-to-lock rotation is standard for CompX Timberline cam locks and should be confirmed compatible with the cabinet's latch or strike geometry prior to installation.
