I had been persuaded by my sister to assist her in getting a bar cabinet for her living room. She was really irate since I had put off the visit because I had been so busy at work the previous month. In order to assist her in purchasing the piece of furniture, I finally made time last week to go with her to the IKEA store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IKEA’s ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchenware, and home decor have won me over quite a bit. I also appreciate how they made the majority of their collection affordable. IKEA’s cafe, which offers the tastiest Swedish meatballs, is what I enjoy about it the most, though. I, therefore, assisted my sister in picking out the necessary furniture as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were back at our house by the afternoon, and my sister called me that night to inquire how to get rid of the IKEA cam lock.<\/strong> She put together her cabinet improperly, so she needed my assistance once more to get the cam lock off. I had to leave my job once more in order to assist my loving sister in fixing the problem, but I later made up for it by writing an article about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can assemble their own furniture with the help of cam locks. However, If you assembled the furniture incorrectly or are transferring it from one place to another, you might need to know how to remove the cam locks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must insert the cam lock kit key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise to remove the cam lock. In the event that you don’t have the cam lock key, you can also use a screwdriver of the proper size.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article will teach us how to remove a cam lock with or without the key. But before that, let us learn what cam locks are and how they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A cam lock is a cylindrical L-shaped fastener mostly used in cabinet construction and other types of furniture. These locks may be located at the furniture joints to make them more secure. Cam locks hold the cabinets together without affecting their appearance, as these locks are almost invisible once the furniture is constructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cam locks make it simple and quick for customers to put their cabinets and furniture together. They are made up of a tongue bar, also known as a cam, and a cylindrical keyed nut. After installing a cam lock, the user can lock the enclosure by rotating the key in the nut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does A Cam Lock Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Directly on the interior side of the furniture’s front are mounted the cam locks. A cam lock can be locked and unlocked with a key. The tongue bar shifts its direction when a key is inserted into the cam lock cylindrical nut and turned. Your cam lock is locked if the tongue bar is dropped, and it is unlocked if the tongue bar is vertical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
