Cam locks — which use a rotating cam actuated by a key to secure drawers, panels, or enclosures — are specifically enumerated in 8301300060 alongside other locks for chests and drawers. Other furniture locks not fitting that description, such as mortise locks for cabinet doors, would fall under the residual line 8301300090. The physical operating mechanism and intended furniture application are the key classification factors.
Finland is home to established manufacturers of high-security mechanical locks used in commercial office furniture, filing systems, and institutional storage. These products often command premium specifications — such as master-keying capability and pick resistance — that differentiate them from commodity-grade furniture locks sourced from lower-cost origins.
