As the name suggests, multi-point locks have two or more positions where a bolt or cam operates. These additional fastening points are located where a door or cover could otherwise be prised open, such as the top or bottom of a door. To open a multi-point lock, simply lift and swing the handle to operate the cam and/or the remote latches in one smooth, quarter turn action. Multi-point locks are widely used on industrial enclosures, cabinets and containers, as well as on electric panels, machinery covers and lockers.

The majority of these products can be specified as weather resistant to IP65 standard. The options available on most of the ranges also include an industry-standard driver, a cylinder lock, a Euro profile lock or no lock.

Camlock specified the multi-point locking products on this site from Mesan, which has been serving the industrial enclosure sector for over 30 years and exports to over 35 countries. Like Camlock Systems, Mesan is accredited to ISO 9001 : 2008.

This range of quarter turn cam locks is designed to fit the widely used single or double 50mm x 25mm cut-out. A simple lift and swing of the handle operates the cam and/or the remote latches in one smooth action. The upper and lower rods operate in opposite directions to close the latches. The cam, where fitted, pulls the door closed using a light compression force.	A wide range of industry-standard round and flat rods, rod guides and rod adaptors and roller catchers is available. The very prevalent round rods are supplied in 400mm, 500mm, 600mm, 700mm, 800mm, 900mm and 1,000mm lengths.
