Two numbers: the length, 45 millimetres across the standard range, and the bend height, from -16 reverse through straight to offset, chosen to bridge the gap between lock body and frame exactly.

The cam's step toward or away from the panel: reverse cams reach back, straight sits level, offset reaches away, and the measurement between lock and frame picks the figure.

Almost always the cam: the bend height sets how tight the door draws, so a deeper reverse or higher offset re-tensions the closure, no new lock needed.

Limits the swing: the cam travels between its locked and open positions and no further, so the feel at the key tells the truth about the state of the door.

One nut on the lock spindle: the old cam comes off, the new bend height goes on, and the door pulls tight, a two minute change measured once.

Length hole to tip and the step of the bend, or a photo of the old cam with a rule over WhatsApp, which comes back with both numbers named.

The cam is the working end of a cabinet lock, the swinging arm behind the frame that actually clamps the door shut, and this shelf of 168 lines carries the cam locks and the cams themselves, each picked on two numbers: the cam's length and its bend height.

The bend height is the clever part of the system. A straight cam sits at 0 millimetres, level with its mounting; the reverse cams step down through -2, -4, -5, -8, -10, -12, -14 and -16 millimetres, reaching back toward the panel face; the offset cams step up through +2, +4 and +6 and beyond, reaching away from it; and all of them run in the standard 45 millimetre length with stoppers fitted, so the measured gap between the lock body and the frame it must clamp against is bridged exactly by choosing the right bend from the run.

That one dimension is why a lock that turns but does not pull the door tight is usually wearing the wrong cam rather than a worn lock: the bend height sets exactly how hard the door is drawn onto its seal, and a deeper reverse or a higher offset re-tensions the whole closure without touching the lock or its cut-out.

The fitted stopper limits the swing to the locked and open positions and nothing between, and the cam itself swaps in moments, one nut on the lock's spindle, old cam off and new bend on. The lock's make, the cam length and the measured gap to bridge, or simply a photo of the old cam over WhatsApp on 07754288583, come back with the bend height named and the door pulling tight again.
