W Cam – Suits 6 Pin C4 Oval Cylinders

An oval cylinder has an oval body and drives the lock through a cam fixed on its back, and it is the standard for Australian narrow and wide stile commercial locks. A Euro cylinder has a pear-shaped profile, passes right through the lock body and is held by one long screw. They are not interchangeable.

C4 is the keyway profile, and the pin count is the number of pin stacks inside the barrel. A 6-pin cylinder has more possible key combinations than a 5-pin one. In this range the 65 mm Euro cylinders are 5-pin and the 70 mm Euro, oval and swing bolt cylinders are 6-pin, all with keys supplied.

The cam must match the lock. The oval cylinders here come with a Z cam fitted and an X cam supplied loose for NL and WL locks. W and Z cams are sold separately as replacements. The swing bolt cylinder comes with a rabbit ear cam fitted.
