Camden CX-ED1420 Ansi Electric Strike Fire Grade 1

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CX-ED1420 is a low-profile ANSI electric strike designed for fire-rated door applications requiring Grade 1 security performance. Electric strikes replace or supplement a standard door strike plate, allowing the latch or bolt to retract electrically so a door can be released without manual turning of a knob or lever. This unit is built to ANSI standards and carries a Grade 1 rating, the highest mechanical durability classification in the ANSI/BHMA grading system. It is typically specified and installed by licensed locksmiths, access control technicians, or low-voltage security contractors working on commercial or institutional door hardware projects.

The CX-ED1420 is suited for commercial and institutional access control installations where fire-rated door assemblies require electrically controlled latch release. Low-profile construction makes it a practical choice in applications where frame depth is limited. It is appropriate for use in facilities such as offices, schools, healthcare buildings, and other occupancies where fire-rated door hardware is required by local building or fire codes. Installation should comply with applicable fire door assembly listings and access control system design requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified access control technician familiar with fire-rated door assembly requirements. Disconnect power to the access control system before wiring or mounting the strike. Verify that the door assembly, frame, and hardware combination maintains the required fire door listing after installation. Local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) approval may be required for fire-rated door hardware modifications.
