gladyslim 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Different letter box fabricator uses different lock. Bring your existing lock along. Most hardware shop in the ind est do have this. The dia & the length of the shaft has to be the same as your existing. The plate can be shorten buy using a hack saw plate. Cam lock is known as 钩 锁。 U can get it at the following: Kim Men, seawalk, thye seng, xin huat, power j, fupizat, Blk 22 woodlands link, blk 5024 amk and kaki bukit etc... view this: www.seawalk.com. - Architecture ,- locks - cabinet locks; Jasmine cam lock 607/25; the cylinder core is 25mm long, - jasmine c l 607/30 is lenght 30mm Edited October 2, 2008 by gladyslim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zeez 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 instead of paying $20 to $35 for a handyman to change the lock, i bought a cam lock from the shop opposite Sim Lim Tower. It costs me $2. Homefix sells their for $3.50 and also one for $36! Just a adjustable spanner to unlock the nut holding the lockset and fit in the new lock. But the moving plate is too long so I just bent it to the correct length. Took me less than 15 mins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delirious_jeff 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2010 Just my experience... Most Yale cam lock turn in one direction so cannot use. The moving arm of some cheaper locks used for locking drawing may be too long for use in the letter box. So, need to saw off the excess portion. I think the simplest way to change letterbox lock is to check with your town council first (see link below). http://www.amk-ycktc.org.sg/index.php?opti...2&Itemid=62 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
