(JSC-OM) (NASA)" : Hi Ron, I thought I'd ordered a two inch long cam lock -- but Betty at RA-Lock left me a message that they'd sent me a 1.5" lock. I'll have to check it at the hangar tonight to verify it. Looking at the photo of the lock I'd say it is 1.5" long. The lock/unlock positions we recommended in our posting should be different than what I'd ordered for ours. We weren't sure just how to implement this concept so I'd ordered two different locks -- one rotating 180 deg counter-clockwise and one 90 deg counter-clockwise. I first thought we'd have to rotate the cam counter-clockwise 180 degrees to get it out of the way for opening -- but 90 degrees clockwise to unlock worked best. The main thing we didn't like about the 180 degree rotation is that we wanted to be able to look at the key hole and tell whether or not it was locked. The clockwise/counterclockwise part selection doesn't really matter since you can position the body to make it work either way. I'll send an LML message out tonight with any necessary updates to the cam lock part number (1452 vs 1450). Thanks, Valin P.S.

The posted one is a 2" body, and the one he purchased may have been a 1 1/2 inch body....cam "clock" locked/unlocked position may also have been different ." ]
