Camden CX-EPD1289L-BK Surface Mount Preload Rim Strike

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CX-EPD1289L-BK is a surface mount preload rim electric strike designed for access control applications. This strike mounts directly to the door frame surface, eliminating the need for mortise cutouts, and works with rim-style exit devices to secure a door while allowing electrically controlled release. It is installed by licensed locksmiths, access control technicians, and low-voltage security integrators. The preload design holds tension against the latch bolt before release, reducing noise and maintaining a secure hold under door pressure. The BK designation indicates a black finish suited for architectural applications where hardware aesthetics matter.

This electric strike is intended for commercial door openings equipped with rim-style exit hardware. Surface mount installation makes it a practical choice for retrofit projects where frame modification is not feasible. It is commonly used in office buildings, schools, and institutional facilities where electrically controlled egress is required. The unit is sold individually and is appropriate for single-door access control configurations.
