The assembly is sized to fit a standard 2-1\/2\" diameter mounting hole and includes a gasket for smooth surfaces, so installation is straightforward and weather-tolerant. With a chrome-plated zinc alloy cam, stainless steel stem, and a polymer \"T\" handle available in black or white, the unit balances strength and clean styling for marine, mobile, and utility applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the adjustable cam benefit different panel thicknesses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cam on this model adjusts between 3\/4\" and 2-3\/8\", letting you tailor engagement depth to varying door or lid thicknesses without replacing parts.
