F.A.Q. Latches
Q: Which material exactly are the stainless steel saving time latches made
Saving time latches are made of grade 304 stainless steel
they are sold into raw finish, this means that they did not receive any polishing or treatment.
Q: Is there a corner mounting strike for the 1429L series latches?
The Camloc 1429L series latches do not have a strike for corner mounting.
Using the corner mounting strike of the Camloc V951L series provides a solid solution.
1429L02-2X1BP latch with V951L52-1BP strike
The picture above shows the combination of the Camloc 1429L02-2X1BP stainless steel latch with secondary lock in combination with the Camloc V951L52-1BP stainless steel strike for corner mounting.
Q: What’s the difference between 51L and V951L camloc latches?
The picture on the left shows the old way of how the secondary lock looks like.
This is not anymore produced by camloc in this way.
51L V951L secondary lock
Due to another secondary lock, you have also another way the hook is fastened.
51L
The transition has been listed with another part number
51L is the old part number
New part number starts with V951L
You do not need to worry,
Both parts have the same mechanical strength
Q: What’s the difference between the finishes of our products?
Most of our products are offered in the following materials:
- steel / cleer zinc plated (CrVI free)
- stainless steel (see here)
However some of the products are available in the following materials and finishes:
- steel / yellow zinc plated
- steel / nickel plated
- steel / cadmium plated
We can share some interesting information about finishing:
Q: Is the part number V95H07-1-1BP the same as V95H07-1-1BC?
Question:
We have received the shipment, but I have a question. The part number we have received is V95H07-1-1BP. Is this the same as the V95H07-1-1BC?
What is the difference between the “BP” and the “BC”.
Answer:
What I know is that in the past, 10 years ago, this part was called 95H07-1-1BC
Since then it has changed production unit and is called V95H07-1-1BC
(V stands for another production unit, but it’s the same part, mechanically & dimensionally)
It is only since this year, that it cannot be obtained anymore under that part number and has been standardized to the common abbreviation for stainless steel.
So Now this part is called V95H07-1-1BP
BC = stainless steel passivated
BP is also stainless steel passivated
AB = steel cadmium plated clear chromate ( 95H07-1-1AB)
Q: côtes instructions et résistance à la température de la grenouilllère ECL208-BP
Question:
Je souhaiterai avoir des renseignements plus précis sur la cotation de la grenouillère ECL208-BP. Avec notamment les côtes et instruction de montage pour un bon serrage de deux pièces.
Pouvez-vous m’indiquer également si ce produit résiste à une haute température (120°C) et si ce n’est pas le cas, pouvez vous me donner un matériel équivalent en matière inoxydable ?
Réponse:
les grenouillères en inox tienent jusqu’à 230°C maxi
inclus les instructions de montage
Q: What rivet size goes together with the holes in your products
For hole size 2,5 and 2,6 - rivets with 2,5 mm diameter or blind rivets with 2,4 mm diameter
For hole size 3,1 – rivets and blind rivets with 3,0 mm diameter
For hole size 3,3 - blind rivets with 3,2 mm diameter
For hole size 3,6 - rivets with 3,5 mm diameter
For hole size 4,2 – rivets and blind rivets with 4,0 mm diameter
For hole size 5,1 – rivets and blind rivets with 5,0 mm diameter
For hole size 6,3 – rivets and blind rivets with 6,0 mm diameter
Q: How are camloc studs manufactured?
By cold forging.
This gives generally a better strength to the part then when you make it on a CNC machine. However for small volumes or modified products or rapid production it might be interesting to switch to CNC machining.
We can help you with both.
Q: What’s the temperature range?
-40°C – 230°C

Q: In what material are the stainless steel products you have made?
314 stainless steel or 316?
Camloc Latches
Most components are made from 1.4301 which is V2A quality
Camloc Quarter turns
You have to request, but as an example:
- 716F series Stud is made of 1.4305, spring is 1.4310, receptacle is 1.4043
- 991F series Stud is made of 1.4303 ; the pin is made of 1.4310K-4 ; the belleville washers 1.430 with a tensile strength of 1500-1700 N/mm²
Keensert are made of 1.4305 = grade 303 stainless steel (passivated)

Q: In what material are the camloc quarter turns made?
We are using different material for the different styles and different series. As example, DIN EN 10277-3/10087 1.0727 for V27S06, V26S07 and V26S08 cold heading wire 8740 for V26S01.
As you can see, there is no general answer…
Q: What’s the resistance against galvanic corrosion for zinc plated camloc parts?
Our zinc plated steel parts (partnumber ends with AGV) have a corrosion resistance that is measured with a salt spray test.
- After 120 hours salt spray – white rust starts
- After 240 hours salt spray – red rust starts (parent material is getting damaged
the old yellow zinc plating had following values:
after 48 hours – white rust – after 120 hours red rust
