Gms CAM1SL Schlage L Series Mortise Cylinder Cam

Product Description

The GMS CAM1SL is a replacement mortise cylinder cam designed to fit Schlage L Series mortise locksets. The cam is the small tail piece that transfers rotation from the cylinder plug to the lock chassis, making it a critical component in proper lockset function. At 1 inch in length, 0.75 inches in width, and 0.25 inches in height, it is a compact, precision-machined part. Locksmiths and door hardware technicians install this cam during cylinder replacements or when a worn or damaged cam causes the lockset to fail to retract the latch or bolt correctly.

This cam is suited for commercial and institutional door hardware applications where Schlage L Series mortise cylinders are in service. Mortise locksets are common in commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and government facilities. When a cylinder is rekeyed, replaced, or serviced, the cam may need to be swapped to match the new cylinder or correct a fitment issue with the existing chassis. Sold individually, this part supports single-unit field repairs without requiring a full cylinder replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician. Before servicing the cylinder, ensure the door is secured in an open position and the lockset is disengaged from the door frame. The cam must be oriented correctly relative to the cylinder plug before reassembly, as improper orientation will prevent correct latch or bolt operation. Follow the lockset manufacturer's service documentation for cam seating and retaining clip procedures.
