Camden Door Controls CM-1000 Key Switch Surface Mount Spst N/o

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-1000 is a surface-mount key switch designed for access control and door activation applications. The switch operates on a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) normally open (N/O) configuration, meaning the circuit remains open until the correct key is inserted and turned. This type of switch is commonly installed at entry points to control electric door operators, magnetic locks, and access control panels. Licensed electricians and low-voltage security technicians are the primary installers. The CM-1000 is sold as a single unit and is suited for both new construction and retrofit access control projects.

This key switch is used in commercial and light industrial access control installations where a keyed override or activation point is required. Typical applications include controlling electric strikes, door operators, gate openers, and similar low-voltage access hardware. The surface-mount form factor makes it straightforward to install on door frames, wall surfaces, and junction boxes without recessing into the wall. It is well suited for interior and exterior entry control points in office buildings, schools, and facilities requiring controlled access.

Key Features

• SPST normally open contact configuration for standard access control circuits
• Surface-mount design simplifies installation on walls, door frames, and enclosures
• Key-operated actuation prevents unauthorized use or override
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual point installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for surface-mount key switch applications in low-voltage access control and door operator systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Disconnect and de-energize all connected circuits before mounting or wiring the switch. Secure the switch housing to a solid surface or approved electrical box before completing wiring connections. Verify that the contact configuration and circuit voltage are compatible with the connected access control equipment before restoring power.
