COMPX TIMBERLINE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about COMPX TIMBERLINE from 3G Electric.
What is a Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) in CompX Timberline cam locks?
SFIC stands for Small Format Interchangeable Core. In CompX Timberline cam locks such as C169CB, C168CB, and C165CB, the SFIC design allows the lock core to be removed and replaced without removing the lock body from the panel. This enables rekeying or changing access permissions by swapping cores. The cam locks in this line are zinc die-cast with a chrome-plated finish. Master-keyed configurations are available. For procurement, the SFIC format means a facility can standardize on one core type across multiple lock bodies, provided the lock bodies accept SFIC cores. Confirm the core type and keying before ordering.
What are the dimensions and mounting considerations for the CompX Timberline SP-600-G grab catch?
The CompX Timberline SP-600-G is a steel grab catch with a push opening action. It has a height of 1 1/4 inches and a width of 3/8 inch. It is used in cabinets, enclosures, and access panels that require a push-to-close mechanism. Mounting hole spacing and panel thickness should be checked against the catch dimensions. The grab catch is a non-locking component, so it is typically used where a latch is needed but keyed access is not required. For replacement, match the MPN SP-600-G and verify the opening action and dimensions.
How do CompX Timberline electronic keypad locks such as RL-110-G and SL-100-G differ?
The CompX Timberline RL-110-G and SL-100-G are both electronic keypad cabinet and locker locks with a receiver latch. The RL-110-G has a body height of 2 21/32 inches and a body width of 6 25/32 inches. The SL-100-G has a body height of 1 1/2 inches and a body width of 3 3/8 inches. The size difference affects the mounting footprint and the panel area required. Both provide keyless access control for cabinets, lockers, and storage enclosures. Selection depends on the available mounting space and the latch receiver geometry. Confirm the cutout and latch alignment before ordering.
What is the CompX Timberline TP-100-G keypad used for?
The CompX Timberline TP-100-G is a keyless access control keypad for securing cabinets, lockers, or enclosures in industrial and commercial settings. It provides code-based entry without keys. The keypad is constructed from plastic and has dimensions of 3 3/8 inches in width, 1 1/2 inches in height, and 1/2 inch in depth. It is typically used where a standalone keypad is needed for access control. The MPN TP-100-G should be used to confirm compatibility with the intended lock or controller. For replacement or new installations, verify the wiring and mounting requirements.
What are the key features of CompX Timberline deadbolt cabinet and drawer locks like C290CB?
The CompX Timberline C290CB is a deadbolt lock for cabinet and drawer applications. It has a horizontal left, square configuration with a zinc die-cast construction and a black finish. The body height is 1 3/4 inches. It is designed for commercial or industrial settings and can be used with interchangeable cores. The coreless version allows the user to supply their own core. For specification, confirm the mounting orientation, body dimensions, and core type. The MPN C290CB identifies the specific model. Deadbolt locks provide positive locking for drawers and cabinets where a cam lock may not be suitable.
