At ReFridge, we know that installing and maintaining a walk-in cooler or freezer should be as straightforward as possible. That’s why our cam locking system and specialized hex wrenches are designed to make assembly quick, secure, and reliable. Whether you’re assembling a new unit, replacing a panel, or performing maintenance, our cam locks and tools are built to save time and reduce labor.
What Are Cam Locks?
Cam locks are the hidden, mechanical fasteners used to secure the insulated panels of walk-in coolers and freezers. Found inside the panel edges, cam locks use a rotating mechanism to pull panels together tightly and hold them in place.
When properly engaged, cam locks create a tight, airtight seal, which is critical for maintaining the energy efficiency and temperature control of your cooler or freezer. They also allow for quick disassembly, making maintenance or reconfiguration hassle-free.
How Cam Locks Work
- Internal Connection: Cam locks are pre-installed inside the panels during manufacturing. Each lock is paired with a pin on the adjoining panel.
- Tightening Mechanism: Using a hex wrench, you turn the lock’s internal mechanism, which rotates a cam to securely “grab” the pin and pull the two panels together.
- Secure Fit: Once tightened, the panels are locked into place, ensuring a seamless connection that prevents air leaks and improves the overall structural integrity of your walk-in unit.
This system allows as few as two people to assemble a walk-in cooler or freezer quickly, using just a single hex wrench.
