Title: cam lock assembly mid 60's door
Post by: daisyjuke on September 05, 2012, 06:14:41 AM
Hi, Does anyone have a detailed pic and/or description of a door cam lock? I think mine is incomplete as I just can't work out how it should operate. mine is not electronic.

Thanks.

 i have a bally lock with cam on ebay (350096255065) the cam is top right of the lock.  there is the lock assembly that all of these parts operate - are you missing more than just the lock/cam?  POST A PICTURE.

The cam has a piece trailing down. It must connect to a missing part in the cab?

Your missing the complete sliding door to cabinet latch. It is screwed to the door by 3-4 Phillips screws. The link attached to your lock attaches to the sliding door latch with an e-clip. I should have one, just need to know how tall your door is?

My door is 25". still not 100% certain how it works. there seems to be no slots for any sort of latch in the cab itself?

There should be a metal strip that is screwed to the inside of the cabinet on the handle side. It is one solid piece of stamped metal that has two hook shaped pieces that the door locks on too. It possible that missing too if your doors slide latch is gone. Can't tell by your pic if it's there.

Yup....thats missing too.....! If I cant find the parts I can make a lock OK for home use with a hooked cam and a bar attached to the cabinet.
