FAQs

Every product is backed by our Fit Guarantee. If a part is incompatible with your machine, you can return it hassle-free. For damaged-on-arrival items, report within 24 hours with photographs to [email protected] — we will arrange collection. For other returns, email us first to obtain a Return Merchandise Number before sending. Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on UK orders. A restocking fee may apply on returns where the buyer has changed their mind. Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the return is inspected.

Delivery time depends on the product, your destination, and availability — the estimated time for any item appears on the product page, and "Check where we deliver" confirms coverage for your postcode before you order. Next-day delivery is available on most products; the option appears at checkout when applicable. We deliver across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Use the country selector at checkout to confirm coverage and delivery options for your destination.

Start with three measurements: the barrel or spindle diameter the cam mounts onto, the throw distance (how far the cam tip travels from closed to open), and the overall profile shape (quarter-turn, offset, or extended). Cross-reference these against your existing cam or the original hardware drawing. If you have a part number from the latch body or enclosure manufacturer, use Ask Simon on the relevant product page for an instant fitment check before ordering.

Yes. PartsForMachines serves trade buyers and can accommodate multi-unit orders across cam types and profiles. If you need a specific quantity, a mixed selection across profiles, or repeat supply for a maintenance contract, contact the team directly via WhatsApp 07754288583 or email [email protected] to discuss quantities and availability before placing your order.

Zinc-alloy cams perform well in light industrial and indoor panel applications but can degrade in persistently damp, coastal, or chemically active environments. For outdoor enclosures or washdown-rated cabinets, a steel cam with appropriate plating is generally the better choice. Always check the IP or environmental rating of the enclosure itself and match the cam material to the same duty specification as the surrounding hardware.

Not reliably. Cam geometry varies between manufacturers: the barrel bore, drive slot shape, and tail profile are not universally standardised. A cam made for one brand's quarter-turn latch will often have a different throw or fixing pattern from a competitor's equivalent. Always match by measurement and profile rather than assuming cross-brand compatibility. Where possible, source the replacement cam from the same product family as the latch body it operates.

Cams are the mechanical heart of access hardware, converting rotary motion into controlled linear or lateral movement to operate latches, locks, locks, and retention systems across industrial cabinets, enclosures, and access panels. Selecting the right cam is a precise job: the wrong profile or throw leaves a latch that fails to engage, an enclosure that rattles, or a lock barrel that turns without catching. PartsForMachines lists replacement cams for the access hardware ranges covered across the Spring, Strut and Hardware section, supplied as an Authorised Distributor and Seller.

Cams are specified by their profile, throw distance, and the fixing or barrel size they are built around. A quarter-turn cam suits most standard panel latches; a multi-point or offset cam handles heavier enclosures where the geometry of engagement matters. Material and finish affect longevity in damp or chemically active environments, with zinc-alloy and steel cams each suited to different duty conditions. Checking the barrel diameter and fixing hole pattern against the existing hardware before ordering avoids the most common return. Metrol is the manufacturer behind these cams.

In practice, a cam rarely fails alone. Wear at the pivot, a cracked tail, or a stripped drive slot usually means the mating latch keeper and any retaining clip should be inspected at the same time. Paired replacement is the trade habit that avoids a callback. Related latch bodies, barrels, and keeper plates are listed within the same Access Hardware section on PartsForMachines, making it straightforward to source the full assembly in a single order.
