The TouchPoint™ Lock is a pushbutton access control device that permits authorized entry into cabinets, drawers or other locking enclosures.  
The TouchPoint Lock is easy to install on a variety of cabinets or enclosures and  is intended for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The TouchPoint Lock can be ordered as a single component, or with optional mounting hardware including mounting brackets for sheet 
metal or thick panels, 90° or 180° stop cams, a straight cam (1-1/8” length), or offset cam (1-5/8” length, 5/16” offset). The variations 
depend on the type of cabinet or enclosure to which the lock is mounted.
