Cam Lock

A two-piece mechanical fastener used in RTA (ready-to-assemble) cabinet construction, consisting of a threaded dowel and a rotating cam disc. The dowel is inserted into one panel and the cam is installed in the adjoining panel. Turning the cam 90 degrees with a screwdriver draws the two panels tightly together. Cam locks allow flat-packed cabinets to be assembled quickly without specialized tools.
