Altronix CAM415A Keyed Cam Lock for C415A Camera Enclosure
Overview
The Altronix CAM415A is a keyed cam lock replacement designed specifically for the Altronix C415A camera enclosure. If your C415A housing has a worn, damaged, or missing lock cylinder — or you need a separately keyed unit for access management purposes — the CAM415A is the correct part. It is not a universal cam lock; it is purpose-matched to the C415A, which means fit and function are confirmed rather than assumed.
The lock body is constructed from high-quality metal, which matters in enclosure applications where repeated key cycles, tampering attempts, and environmental vibration are routine. A plastic cam lock in this role is a liability; the metal construction here holds up over a long service life in wall-mount and ceiling-mount enclosure deployments.
For integrators managing multiple sites or building out a keyed-different scheme across enclosures, the CAM415A allows each C415A housing to carry its own key — useful when restricting technician access by zone or when a master-key system isn't in scope. If you need a keyed-alike arrangement across several enclosures, verify key compatibility with your Altronix supplier before ordering multiple units.
Compatibility
The CAM415A is confirmed compatible with the Altronix C415A enclosure. Do not attempt to install this lock in other Altronix enclosure models without verifying the cam lock cutout dimensions — enclosure families vary and forcing a mismatched cylinder risks damaging both the lock and the housing door. Browse the full range of camera enclosures and housing accessories if you are sourcing the matching C415A enclosure alongside this lock.
Installation Notes
Cam lock replacement is a straightforward panel swap on the C415A — remove the retaining nut from inside the enclosure door, withdraw the old cylinder, seat the CAM415A, and re-secure. No drilling or modification required when replacing a stock cylinder. Keep the supplied key in a documented location; Altronix does not offer a re-key service on cam locks at this part level, so a lost key means a full lock replacement. Pair this component with the appropriate Altronix power accessories if you are also servicing the enclosure's power components during the same maintenance window.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the CAM415A compatible with Altronix enclosures other than the C415A?
A: The CAM415A is specified for the C415A enclosure. Compatibility with other Altronix enclosure models is not confirmed — verify cutout dimensions before attempting installation in a different housing.
Q: Does the CAM415A come with a key?
A: The CAM415A is a keyed cam lock, meaning it includes a key cylinder. Confirm exact key count with the product listing or your order confirmation, as package contents are not fully detailed in available evidence.
Q: Can I order multiple CAM415A units keyed alike?
A: Available evidence does not confirm a keyed-alike option at the individual unit level. Contact Altronix or your distributor to determine whether keyed-alike configurations are available for multi-enclosure deployments.
Q: What material is the CAM415A lock body made from?
A: The CAM415A uses a high-quality metal construction, which provides durability through repeated key cycles and resists tampering better than plastic alternatives.
Q: Is the CAM415A sold as a replacement part or only with the C415A enclosure?
A: The CAM415A is available as a standalone replacement part — it can be ordered separately without purchasing a new C415A enclosure.
The CAM415A is a detail item, but it's one that bites integrators when it's missing from the parts order. The C415A enclosure ships with a cam lock in place — but if you're replacing a damaged housing door, inheriting a site where keys are unaccounted for, or commissioning a new build where access control to the enclosure itself needs to be distinct from the master key ring, you need the CAM415A sourced before the technician rolls.
Technical Highlights:
- Keyed cylinder: discrete key per enclosure, which supports zone-based access management without relying on a master key shared across all field techs
- Metal lock body: resists the shear and pry forces a plastic cylinder won't — important in any enclosure exposed to public or semi-public areas where tampering is a realistic threat
- C415A-specific fit: purpose-matched to the enclosure, so you're not measuring cam travel or shimming a universal cylinder to make it work — it drops in as a confirmed replacement
Deployment Considerations:
- Order the CAM415A at the same time as the C415A enclosure on new installs — sourcing it as a field call after the fact adds truck roll cost that exceeds the part price several times over
- There is no re-key service documented at this part level — if the key is lost, the lock must be replaced entirely, so document key assignments at commissioning
Best fit: maintenance or retrofit projects on existing C415A enclosure deployments where the original lock cylinder needs replacement, or new multi-enclosure installs where independent key control per housing is a site security requirement.
