Camden CX-DA800KD-BK Door Alarm Battery Mortise Cylinder Black

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CX-DA800KD-BK is a battery-powered door alarm with an integrated mortise cylinder, finished in black. Designed for access control and security applications, this unit monitors door status and triggers an audible alert when the door is opened without authorization or left ajar. The battery-powered design eliminates the need for hard-wired power at the door, making installation practical in locations where running line voltage is not feasible. The mortise cylinder provides a keyed override for authorized entry without triggering the alarm. Electricians and low-voltage security technicians are the typical installers for this type of device.

This door alarm is suited for commercial and light industrial environments where exit door monitoring, stairwell door compliance, or restricted access alerting is required. Typical applications include emergency exit doors, server room entries, and utility room access points. The black finish allows the unit to blend with dark-colored door hardware. The mortise cylinder format follows standard door prep dimensions, making it compatible with common commercial door setups already prepped for cylindrical or mortise hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage security technician. Confirm the door is prepped for a mortise cylinder before installation and that the door frame clearances align with the unit dimensions. Disable any connected access control panel or alarm system before wiring or mounting work begins. Follow applicable local building codes and fire egress requirements when installing alarms on exit or stairwell doors.
