I would just weld 2 long cams together. and bend the end of course

Yoeddy1 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 01, 2023, 03:07:44 PM »

Guys I found one of those cams. Does anybody have the twist lock for of those? If not, what size of lock would I need for that cam?

Thanks,
Jason

My lock's barrel length is only 1" long and I still needed a 1/2" spacer.

I ended up cutting a 3/4" metal pipe to use as a spacer on the outside of the door, to the bottom of the keyface.
The problem with that is I have to pull out the key once I unlock it, or it hits the cabinets' left wall metal support bracing.

That sucks.

I need to look for an even shorter lock barrel...I don't know how short they make these.

Look at the two spacers I made..a short one and a longer one...don't do this ...It doesn't work.

Notes. I think 5/8” and 7/8” are the shortest locks available. It blows my mind that these thumb locks are that hard to find.

Come on guys, somebody has to have one for some good $.

I used to take the black metal boxes off of progressive controllers, and mount the board on standoffs on top of the power supply. The boxes seemed to cause problems as people moved the machines on their backs.
I also took the thumb locks out of the black boxes to use for bill doors...
If you have a controller kicking around ...

Thanks,
Wayne

I used a 5/8 thumb lock. I had to use two nuts, one on outside of logic door to shorten the overall length so the logic door could close. Just leave enough threads to screw on the second one on the inside of the logic door.

Here's a link to a pair of em for 9 bucks: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303445413991?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UqBau7oMTPu&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=bu-pVdC8TCe&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Can someone that bought the ebay ones please post a pic of how its screwed on, on the inside? I for the life of me can't get them to work. Tried every combination. It's on the bottom hole, used the 2 nuts, one on outside and one inside. The metal thing doesn't even seem to fit inside where the paper goes when I try and fit it manually - but when I turn to try and lock it doesn't even seem to be catching...

sixcardmark · « **Reply #36 on:** February 06, 2023, 12:00:36 PM »

Don't screw in the outside nut all the way, just leave enough threads for inside nut.

Matt411 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 06, 2023, 12:04:36 PM »

The ones I got on ebay don't have the metal thing like yours is shaped - check the ebay link you sent... where do I find the metal piece like yours?

sixcardmark · « **Reply #38 on:** February 06, 2023, 12:09:45 PM »

The cam? It doesn't come with the thumb lock.

Matt411 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 06, 2023, 12:12:42 PM »

So how are people getting the cam? lol. I have 3 brainboxes, not one came with one. Something I can get at a hardware store or is it super hard to find?
