Camden Door Controls CM-1005 Keyswitch Surface Mount N/c

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-1005 is a surface-mount keyswitch with a normally closed (N/C) contact configuration, designed for access control and door release applications. Keyswitches of this type provide a secure, operator-controlled signal input to electric door strikes, magnetic locks, or access control panels. The N/C configuration means the circuit is completed at rest and opens when the key is turned, a common requirement for fail-safe locking systems. This device is sold as a single unit and is typically installed by licensed electricians or security system technicians working on commercial or institutional door hardware.

Surface-mount keyswitches like the CM-1005 are used in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites wherever a keyed override or manual release point is required at a door or gate. The surface-mount form factor simplifies installation on door frames, walls, or mullions without requiring a cutout in the mounting surface beyond the fastener holes. It is commonly wired into low-voltage access control circuits as a request-to-exit (REX) device, a door release trigger, or a manual lockdown switch depending on system design.

Key Features

• Normally closed (N/C) contact configuration for fail-safe circuit integration
• Surface-mount design simplifies installation on walls, frames, and mullions
• Keyed operation provides controlled, secure actuation
• Compatible with low-voltage access control and electric door hardware systems
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual door or gate applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface-mount keyswitch for use with low-voltage access control panels, electric door strikes, and magnetic lock systems in commercial and institutional door hardware applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or certified access control technician. De-energize all connected access control circuits and door hardware before wiring or mounting. Follow NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring and secure all conductors to prevent intermittent contact. Verify N/C contact operation with a continuity test before returning the system to service.
