Camden CX-DA810KD Door Prop Alarm Mortise Cylinder

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CX-DA810KD is a battery-powered door prop alarm designed to alert building occupants and facility staff when a door is left open beyond an acceptable dwell time. The unit incorporates a mortise cylinder for keyed control, allowing authorized personnel to silence or reset the alarm without additional hardware. Finished in gray, this alarm is suited for commercial and institutional door openings where access monitoring and egress compliance are required. Licensed electricians and low-voltage security installers are the typical trades for this type of device.

The CX-DA810KD is intended for commercial door applications where propped-door monitoring is required, such as stairwells, emergency exits, and perimeter access points in institutional, healthcare, and office facilities. The battery-powered design eliminates the need for hardwired power at the door location, making installation practical on doors where running line voltage or low-voltage wiring is not feasible. The mortise cylinder format provides tamper-resistant, keyed reset capability for security staff.

• Battery-powered operation — no hardwired power supply required at the door
• Integrated mortise cylinder for keyed alarm silence and reset
• Audible alarm triggers when door remains propped open beyond set dwell time

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage security technician familiar with access control and egress hardware. Verify local fire and building codes, including IBC and NFPA 101 requirements, before mounting on fire-rated or emergency egress doors. Ensure the door frame and door thickness are compatible with the mortise cylinder format prior to installation. Replace batteries according to the manufacturer interval to maintain reliable alarm function.
