Sunxeke 120PCS Cam Locks for Furniture,3-in-1 Eccentric Hardware Wheels,Furniture Fasteners & Connectors with Multi-Size Nuts,Bolts and Wood Dowel Pins-Assortment Kit for Furniture Assembly/Repair

A missing cam lock can sideline a perfectly good cabinet. I picked up the Sunxeke cam lock assortment to rescue a few pieces of flat-pack furniture that had lost hardware over the years, and I’ve now used it on a cabinet rebuild, a sagging TV stand, and a couple of drawers. It’s not a universal fix-all, but as a general-purpose, keep-on-the-shelf kit for RTA furniture, it’s been practical, reasonably well-made, and—importantly—compatible with most of what I threw at it.

What you get

This kit centers on the two most common cam housing diameters used in flat-pack furniture—12 mm and 15 mm—plus a single, widely used cam bolt length. The included mix is sensible:

• Cam housings: 50 total
  • 12 x 10.5 mm (10 pcs)
  • 12 x 12.2 mm (15 pcs)
  • 15 x 11.5 mm (10 pcs)
  • 15 x 13 mm (15 pcs)
• Cam bolts: 40 mm (20 pcs)
• Plastic expansion nuts: 10 x 8 mm (20 pcs)
• Wood dowels: M6 x 30 mm (30 pcs)

Everything arrives in a transparent organizer with size labels. The housings and bolts are nickel-plated alloy steel, the dowels are hardwood with glue grooves, and the expansion nuts cover the ubiquitous “push-in” style hole you’ll find on many budget cabinets and bookcases.

Build quality and fit

I’m primarily interested in how cleanly the cams engage and how well they hold once tightened. On both counts, this kit performs. The cam housings are consistent in diameter, the slots are neatly cut, and they rotate smoothly with a flat-blade driver. The plating is even and hasn’t shown rust or flaking after a few weeks of use and a ride in the back of the truck. Threads on the bolts are clean; I didn’t encounter burrs or cross-threading.

The dowels are straight with crisp grooves that take glue well. They’re a touch denser than the featherweight dowels you sometimes get with budget furniture, which helps reduce shear when panels rack. The plastic anchors press in without splitting, and they grip adequately in particleboard and MDF. I’d still reach for a heavier-duty anchor in crumbly substrate, but these are fine for typical shelf and cabinet loads.

Compatibility and sizing notes

The reality with cam locks is that “close” isn’t good enough—diameter, depth, and offset matter. The Sunxeke kit covers many common cases, but it won’t match every brand.

What matched for me:
- IKEA and similar RTA pieces that use 12 mm or 15 mm eccentric housings
- Panels drilled for 40 mm cam bolts
- M6 dowel-based joints

What didn’t:
- A wardrobe that used 14 mm cams (not in this kit)
- A desk with 34 mm cam bolts (too short in this kit)
- A bed frame using M8 dowels (this kit is M6 only)

If you’re replacing hardware, take a quick measurement before you commit. Check the cam housing bore (12 or 15 mm), its depth, and the distance from the cam centerline to the panel edge. Also measure the bolt length that connects into the cam. If you already have a matching bore and a 40 mm bolt, you’re in great shape with this kit.

In use: assembling and repairing

On my beat-up TV stand, a few original cams had cracked and one bolt had pulled threads. Swapping in the 15 x 13 mm housings with the stock 40 mm bolts re-established a tight lock—no more wobbly top when I moved it. I like that the cam heads engage positively and don’t deform under a firm twist. With particleboard furniture, the game is to achieve snug without blowing out the surrounding material, and these cams hit that window.

On a cabinet reassembly project that had no hardware at all, the 12 mm housings and M6 dowels were plug-and-play. I set the dowels with a dab of wood glue, pressed in the expansion nuts where needed, finger-started the bolts, and locked the cams in a cross pattern. The joints drew square, the faces aligned, and I didn’t hear that ominous cracking sound that tells you a cam is biting into a too-thin wall.

A few tips that helped:
- Use a flat-blade screwdriver rather than a Phillips to avoid cam slot cam-out.
- Snug the bolts into their anchors before engaging the cams; slop makes cams chew into the bore.
- Tighten cams a quarter-turn at a time across the assembly to pull panels evenly.
- If a hole feels loose, wick in a little thin CA glue, let it cure, and then reinstall the anchor.

Organizer and labeling

The transparent case is handy, and the size labels are accurate. My set arrived mostly in order with a couple of compartments partially mixed—likely jostled during shipping. It took a minute to re-sort. The latch and hinge are serviceable but not rugged; if you’ll toss this into a job bag regularly, consider decanting into a sturdier organizer or adding foam to keep parts from migrating.

One practical note: you get 50 cam housings but only 20 cam bolts. In a real-world repair, bolts and cams are usually consumed 1:1. I had spare bolts from other kits, but if you’re starting from scratch and tackling a full dresser or large cabinet, you might run out of bolts before housings. A second kit or a supplemental pack of 40 mm bolts is a smart pairing.

Strength and durability

Nickel-plated steel is the right call here. The cams tolerate firm torque without rounding, and the bolts don’t mush when you hit resistance. After assembly, joints felt as rigid as original hardware. I tested one repaired shelf with a bag of books and a briefcase—no creep or loosening after a week. The dowels, glued in, contribute meaningfully to shear resistance; if you’re tempted to skip glue, don’t.

If you’re working outdoors or in very damp environments, the plating will resist light moisture, but these are still steel parts going into wood-based substrates. Protect the furniture piece more than the hardware—use coasters and avoid standing water.

What it’s not

• Universal: No 14 mm cams, no alternative bolt lengths, no M8 dowels.
• Heavy-duty knock-down hardware: This is for cabinets, shelves, desks, and drawers—not bed frames or live-load structures.
• Cosmetic kit: There are no cover caps or decorative plugs to hide cam faces.

If you need specialized sizes (34 mm or 50 mm bolts, 14 mm cams, or unusual offsets), you’ll want a more targeted kit or OEM replacements.

Value

For the price, the assortment lands in the “saves time, avoids headaches” category. It’s far easier than chasing down OEM parts or trying to match a single missing cam at a big-box store. The quality is a notch above the throwaway hardware that ships with some budget furniture, and for anyone who maintains rentals, stages furniture, or keeps a workshop, it earns its keep quickly.

The bottom line

The Sunxeke cam lock assortment covers the most common RTA furniture standards with decent manufacturing quality, a useful mix of sizes, and a thoughtful inclusion of dowels and expansion nuts. I had an easy time bringing wobbly pieces back to life, and new assemblies went together cleanly with solid clamping force. The organizer could be sturdier, and the bolt count is light relative to the cam housings, but those are minor quibbles.

Recommendation: I recommend this kit to DIYers, property managers, and anyone who regularly assembles or repairs flat-pack furniture. It’s not a universal solution, but if your furniture uses 12 mm or 15 mm cams and 40 mm bolts—as many do—this kit is a fast, reliable way to replace missing or broken hardware and tighten up tired joints. Measure first, add a supplemental pack of 40 mm bolts if you anticipate larger projects, and you’ll be set.
