The CP-040500 is a pronged washer component for Medeco cam lock installations, not a lock on its own. It is one of the pieces listed with a Medeco cam lock kit alongside the cylinder body, the cam, and the CP-040451 90 degree stop. If you are replacing a lost or damaged washer from an existing Medeco cam lock, this is the piece; if you need the lock itself, you order the cylinder in the length your application calls for and add this washer with it.

This is a Medeco cam lock component, sized for the Medeco cam locks that use a 3/4 inch diameter lock body. It is not a generic cabinet lock washer. If the lock in your cabinet, locker or panel is another brand, or a different diameter, this is the wrong part and you should match the washer to that lock's own parts list.

Rotation on these cam locks is 90 or 180 degrees, clockwise or counterclockwise. The pronged washer does not set that. The CP-040451 90 degree stop is the piece that limits travel, so order it with the lock when the application needs a quarter turn. If you want a half turn, leave the stop off.

Yes. The Medeco 3 design uses triple locking action, which is what gives it the deep keying and master keying range, and the cam locks can be configured to opcodes 219, 239, 269 and 289. Cylinders come 3, 4 or 5 pin, and each lock ships with 2 keys. Tell your supplier which opcode and which existing system you are keying to so the cam locks fall under the same master as your doors.

Medeco 3 cam locks are UL 437 listed for physical strength and are both UL and ULC listed, and the cylinders meet BHMA test standards in the high security cylinders category. The bodies are solid brass with hardened inserts placed to resist drilling, and they are rated indoor/outdoor, so an exterior cabinet or enclosure is within their stated use.

Yes, a removable core format is offered, though the standard cam lock configuration is a fixed core, conventional format cylinder. Removable core is worth specifying if you are managing a facility and want to rekey cabinets or lockers by pulling cores rather than servicing each lock. If you are ordering fixed core, the core stays in the lock and rekeying is done at the bench.
