Camden CX-DA800WKD Door Alarm Battery Mortise Cylinder

Product Description

The CAMDEN DOOR CONTROLS INC. CX-DA800WKD is a battery-powered door alarm with an integrated mortise cylinder, finished in gray. Designed for access control and security applications, this unit mounts at the door and sounds an audible alert when the door is opened without authorization or held open beyond an intended period. The battery-powered design eliminates the need for hardwired power at the door, simplifying installation in locations where running line voltage or low-voltage wiring to the door edge is impractical. Licensed security and access control technicians are the typical installers for this type of device.

This door alarm is suited for commercial and institutional settings where door monitoring and unauthorized-entry deterrence are required. Typical applications include stairwell doors, emergency exit doors, and perimeter access points in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar environments. The mortise cylinder allows keyed reset or disarm by authorized personnel, making it practical for high-traffic areas that still require controlled egress monitoring. The gray finish suits standard commercial door hardware aesthetics.
