(7 reviews)

This screen/storm cam fastener is a solid brass assembly designed to fasten wood storm or screen inserts into a combination door or other frame. This hardware was formerly used on all high quality manufactured wood combination doors. Our version is precision machined from solid brass bar stock for durability and smoothness of operation. The standard finish is unlacquered.

Dimensions:
 > Hole diameter: 1/2"
 > Depth: 7/8"
 > Length: 1 1/2"

Used on wood combination storm and screen doors or any application requiring retention of a panel that will be seasonally removed. This screen cam fastener will function best holding a panel against a wood stop or rebate. It is not appropriate for applications subject to frequent use, as the brass locking blade could cause excessive wear on the wood surface against which it bears.

Price breaks available at quantities of 25 and 100.

INSTALLATION

Installation requires boring a 1/2" hole into which the fastener body is later pressed. This hole is normally bored into the frame at a 1/2" backset from the edge. A 5/64" x 1" deep kerf is milled into the edge of the frame to receive the locking blade. This kerf may be located 1/2" - 3/4" on center from the face of the frame, depending on the millwork detail. A similar kerf should be milled into the edge of the panel, 5/64" x 1/2" deep, to receive the end of the locking blade when it is rotated to its extended position. This kerf should be located so that the panel is held firmly against the wood stop or rebate.

    Cam Fastener

    Kent Kleinman

    i have ordered a number of these item and while they are well built, I do have two observations. First, the design of the tab is such that I can not use a standard biscuit joiner machine to cut a slot deep enough to allow the tab to rotate freely. The "tail" of the tab is too long by about 0.10" (assumptions: the slot is ~0.8" deep and the tab pivot center is ~3/8th" from the edge of the frame.) I end up having to grind off a bit of the tab tail to allow it to rotate. Second, the tab lacks enough friction to stay in the horizontal position when engaged. Thank you for asking about it!
