Notes
- Flat-pack cam locks are Ø15 mm housings turned by PZ2 or a flat blade; the connecting bolt enters through a Ø5 hole (Ø7–8 for spreading dowels).
- Drilling distance from the panel edge to the housing centre: 24 or 34 mm.
- Depth and bolt-axis offset depend on board thickness (table). IKEA's own housing height is not published; these are catalogue values for the generic part.
