1. Overview and Function of Cabinet Connecting Rod Locks
Cabinet Connecting Rod Locks are essential safety components used in various types of furniture, cabinets, and filing cabinets. Their primary function is to connect the various parts of the cabinet system through a locking mechanism to ensure that the cabinet cannot be opened without the correct key. As a high-security lock, Cabinet Connecting Rod Locks are widely used in places that require confidentiality and theft prevention, such as office filing cabinets, hotel storage units, and bank safes.
Basic Components:
A typical Cabinet Connecting Rod Lock is composed of several key parts, including the lock core, latch, connecting rod, and outer housing. The connecting rod system connects the lock core to the internal components of the cabinet to ensure the locking function. When the correct key is inserted into the lock core, the connecting rod is activated, causing the latch to extend into the locking hole, securing the door or drawer in place.
This type of lock is designed with two major features: ease of operation and high security. It aims to provide users with convenience while minimizing the risk of unauthorized access. Due to its compact structure and durability, Cabinet Connecting Rod Locks have become the preferred solution for securing storage spaces in both commercial and residential environments.

2. Common Materials and Structural Design of Cabinet Connecting Rod Locks
The design and manufacturing of Cabinet Connecting Rod Locks need to consider multiple factors, with the most important being the material choice and structural design. Different usage environments and security requirements demand that the locks are durable, corrosion-resistant, and resistant to tampering. Ningbo Oubao Technology Co., Ltd. pays special attention to material selection and structural optimization when manufacturing these locks to ensure that each product meets the highest safety standards.
Common Materials:
The material selection for Cabinet Connecting Rod Locks is crucial. The most common materials include stainless steel, zinc alloy, and copper, which offer excellent corrosion resistance and high-strength durability.
- Stainless Steel: Known for its superior corrosion resistance and high strength, stainless steel is commonly used in areas that require high levels of security.
- Zinc Alloy: With excellent processing capabilities, zinc alloy is ideal for environments with standard security requirements.
- Copper: Often used in high-end lock products, copper has excellent anti-oxidation properties and durability, along with fine craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal.
Structural Design:
A typical Cabinet Connecting Rod Lock consists of several components: the lock core, latch, connecting rod, and outer casing.
- Lock Core: The lock core is the heart of the lock mechanism, typically featuring multiple springs and lock pins to ensure that only the authorized key can unlock it.
- Connecting Rod: The connecting rod is generally made of metal or steel wire and connects the lock core to the cabinet, enabling the locking function.
- Latch: The latch is the part of the lock that engages the cabinet’s locking hole, securing the door or drawer in place when the lock is engaged.
- Outer Casing: The outer casing serves to protect the internal components of the lock and also contributes to the aesthetic design.
Ningbo Oubao Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on “exquisite craftsmanship” in the design and production of Cabinet Connecting Rod Locks. We carefully select materials and conduct strict quality testing to ensure that every product has a long service life and offers efficient security protection.
