Camden CX-MA1214-38 Spacer Bar 3/8 Inch Mag Lock

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CX-MA1214-38 is a 3/8-inch spacer bar designed for use with 1,200-pound-rated electromagnetic lock systems. Spacer bars are mounting accessories that create the necessary offset between the electromagnet body and the door frame or header, ensuring proper armature plate contact and full magnetic holding force. This component is used wherever a gap or surface irregularity requires the maglock to be repositioned to achieve flush, consistent contact. Installation is performed by access control technicians and commercial door hardware installers as part of a complete electromagnetic locking system setup.

This spacer bar is suited for commercial and institutional door applications where 1,200-pound electromagnetic locks are deployed. Typical installations include single swing doors, office entry points, and secured access corridors. The 3/8-inch offset dimension addresses common mounting surface variations that would otherwise reduce the holding force of the installed lock. It is sold as a single unit accessory intended to supplement an existing maglock mounting kit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed access control or low-voltage technician familiar with electromagnetic locking hardware. Disconnect and lock out all power to the electromagnetic lock before disassembling or adjusting any mounting components. Verify that the spacer bar and armature plate remain parallel after installation to ensure full surface contact and rated holding force. Local codes including applicable sections of NFPA 80 and IBC egress requirements should be reviewed before installing or modifying any door-locking hardware.
