At U.S. Cooler, we design our walk-in coolers and freezers with efficiency and convenience in mind. Our cam locking system allows for quick and easy assembly, enabling as little as two people to install a walk-in cooler or freezer using a single hex wrench. Whether you’re on a tight project timeline or working in limited space, our cam locks ensure a seamless installation process every time.
What Are Cam Locks and How Do They Work?
Cam locks are mechanical fasteners designed to join insulated cooler panels securely and efficiently. Each panel features a pre-installed cam lock mechanism that aligns with adjoining panels. When a hex wrench is inserted into the lock opening and turned, a locking arm—or “cam”—engages with a pin in the adjacent panel, pulling the panels tightly together and creating a secure, airtight connection.
This simple yet effective system ensures:
- Precision Fit: Each cam lock pulls panels snugly together, eliminating gaps and ensuring proper insulation.
- Ease of Use: No special tools or equipment are required—just a standard hex wrench.
- Repeatable Success: The system is designed to be foolproof, making installation fast and reliable for any project.
Assembly Made Easy
With U.S. Cooler’s cam locking system, assembling a walk-in cooler or freezer has never been easier. Here’s how it works:
- Align Panels: Position the cooler or freezer panels next to each other.
- Engage Cam Locks: Insert a hex wrench into the cam lock opening and turn. As the locking arm rotates, the panels are pulled tightly together.
- Secure the System: Repeat the process along each seam until all panels are connected.
The simplicity of this system means that as little as two people can efficiently assemble a walk-in unit, saving you valuable time and labor costs. No complicated equipment or additional tools are necessary—just a single hex wrench gets the job done.
