A rotation camlock assembly having a spring, a first body rotatably mounted within a second body, and a cam or pawl mounted to said first body. The first body being a plug member that rotates with respect to the second body, the rotation being regulated by a spring mechanism in combination with a rotation limiting stop washer. The second body being a latch housing mounted to either a door or a stop structure associated with a door for the closure and latching of said door. The cam or pawl member rotates between a first position in which the latch assembly is disengaged and a second position in which the latch assembly is engaged, locking the door to a catch feature on the frame. The spring causes constant bias of the plug member and cam in the direction of engagement and a placed wholly between the first and second bodies.
