Camden CX-DA810KD-BK Door Prop Alarm Mortise Cylinder

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CX-DA810KD-BK is a battery-powered door prop alarm with a built-in mortise cylinder, finished in black. Door prop alarms are designed to detect and signal when a door is held open beyond an acceptable dwell time, helping to maintain security and access control integrity. This unit operates without hardwired power, making it suitable for locations where running low-voltage wiring is impractical or cost-prohibitive. The mortise cylinder allows keyed control over alarm activation and reset, which is standard practice in commercial and institutional door hardware applications. Typically installed by licensed locksmiths, access control technicians, or commercial door hardware professionals.

This alarm is suited for commercial and institutional settings where door prop monitoring is required, such as stairwells, emergency egress doors, service entrances, and corridors. The battery-powered design makes it adaptable to retrofit installations where access to hardwired power at the door is not available. The black finish coordinates with standard commercial door hardware in dark or neutral-tone door assemblies.

Key Features

• Battery-powered operation eliminates the need for hardwired low-voltage power at the door
• Built-in mortise cylinder provides keyed arming and reset capability
• Black finish for compatibility with dark commercial door hardware

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or commercial door hardware technician familiar with mortise cylinder prep and door hardware standards. Verify that the door prep accommodates the mortise cylinder profile before installation. Consult local building codes and fire egress requirements, including applicable IBC and NFPA provisions, before installing alarms on rated egress doors. Follow the manufacturer instructions for battery installation and alarm sensitivity adjustment.
