Locking cam (locking lug, follower or locking bolt) explained simply

The locking bolt is the component of the lock cylinder that is set in motion by the rotation of the profile key within the cylinder core. The locking bolt then actuates the bolt in the lock. When locking a door, the locking bolt retracts the bolt into the strike plate in the door frame. When unlocking a door, it extends the bolt back out of the strike plate in the door frame. The locking bolt thus plays a crucial role in locking and unlocking a door. If it is defective, professional door opening and subsequent expert replacement of the broken or damaged locking bolt are required.

The locking bolt is also known in technical circles as the locking lug, cam, or striker. It is inserted into the recess of the cylinder housing using a striker hub.

Broken locking bolt: What to do if the locking lug is defective?

Like any other component in the lock cylinder, the locking bolt can break or become damaged. If the locking bolt is broken and therefore defective, it is advisable to contact a competent and experienced locksmith who can handle the professional door opening and replacement of the lock cylinder.
