Capitol makes cam-lock solutions for access panels and enclosures

Cam locks are the specialty of Capitol Industries.

Cam-lock solutions make up more than 80 per cent of the product line at Capitol Industries Inc. All of these locks are manufactured and finished in North America, at the company’s ISO 9001:2015-certified facility in Montreal. These cam locks work for a wide variety of applications, and they come in different forms, from tubular to magnetic. One popular use for Capitol cam locks is for industrial access panels and enclosures.

For better security and safety

Access panels and enclosures provide convenient ways for businesses to store shut-off valves, sensitive and/or important electronic equipment, or other equipment. The doors or panels are required to block access when it is not necessary to use this equipment, for better security and safety. But these doors and panels require reliable locking devices to enhance security and restrict access to qualified employees. Capitol makes cam locks for this very purpose.

Since the 1970s, many industries have relied on Capitol’s portfolio of cam-lock solutions and on the team’s expertise in developing new products for customers. The company manufactures its locks in a vertically integrated operation that begins with design and moves on to tool production, secondary machining, finishing, and assembly – all with a strict focus on quality assurance, and all under one roof. Customers can choose from basic cam locks to higher-security and more innovative options.

By performing all production stages in-house, Capitol does not need to rely on outside sources for secondary or finishing operations. This results in a low overhead with minimal expenses. This significant cost savings is passed on to customers when they purchase Capitol locking devices. And offering less expensive cam-lock solutions keeps the company competitive with suppliers that import their locks from Europe or elsewhere – which results in higher overhead and therefore higher prices.

A broad spectrum of options and lower prices from local manufacture: this is what makes Capitol cam locks the better choice. For any industrial access panel or enclosure, Capitol always provides the perfect solution – with shorter lead times and higher quality than any other supplier in Canada offers.
