Chrome side panel Lock.

bought some chrome side panels because lost the one with the lock in. must have not fastened it properly. so I don't have the original lock Suzuki want £80 for a simple cam lock. can any one help where I might get one

Hi Ron just keep trawling ebay.

Try pasting this number into ebay.... The seller has various sizes, not sure which you would need, but here's an axample of a 22mm one.  350728169827

Would be great help if someone could give me pic of lock with all dimensions width length eth .thanks

perhaps somewhere like RS components or Key industrial, thinking maybe modify a overall locker lock?

I had my side panel off over the weekend, here's the dimensions.
Lock face. 31mm
Thread diameter. 22mm
Back of face with rubber washer to latch 18mm
Latch sticks out 12mm, hope this helps.

Nice one Simbo, thats got to be a very standard one I reckon

Hi Guys,
I spent a 30 years of my working life in the Office Equipment Business, that picture is of a standard industry lock and would sell for no more than ten pounds. Go to a proper, Lock Smith and you will get a choice of locks plates and rings.

Hi rdt1157   
Just a tip: the cam lock is similar that it used on our postal home box, here in Portugal, jut an example, ok?
Perhaps in your country you can remember where you possible have this used in some kind of shop or in another place:


With some brico, cut, adapt, filing edges…who knows???


Regards

Nothing speciel about the side panel locks, easy to source an affective replacement & replace.

Been to lock smiths look on ebay google nothing that size. I have now decided to now keep it permanently fixed in place and fix a chrome disc over the hole. Just keep tools in saddle bag. Sorted )))

Personally I would keep it stock in case you ever sell.

Have you looked at somewhere like this....

LINKY

Flippin eck Mal that is a good link  

By by sheer good luck I'd stumbled across the website looking for something non bike related, and saw the locks then. Isn't t'internet good!

Brilliant link Mal, love the way they have dimensions with all their locks. Something there for everything, great find.
