Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I confirm I need an X cam?
Check the cam shape on your existing oval cylinder and confirm the lock action. If cylinder rotation retracts the latch and the existing cam is an X profile, this is the correct cam type to match. - Does this cam suit all oval cylinders?
It is specified to suit 570 type cylinders. Other oval cylinder types may use different cam profiles. - What happens if I fit the wrong cam type?
The lock may not operate correctly. For example, a handle-locking setup may require a Z cam, while a latch retraction setup may require an X cam.
Additional Information
- When replacing a cam, compare the new cam profile against the removed cam before reassembly to avoid a mismatch.
- If the lock feels stiff after replacement, check cam seating and alignment on the cylinder tailpiece.
- On service calls, cams are commonly replaced after forced entry attempts or wear where the cylinder turns but the latch no longer retracts reliably.
