Camden Door Controls CM-1270-7024 Flush Key Switch

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-1270-7024 is a flush-mount key switch designed for access control and door activation applications. Built with a stainless steel faceplate, it features a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) maintained contact configuration, meaning the switch holds its position after the key is turned rather than returning to neutral. This makes it well-suited for controlling electric door operators, magnetic locks, and similar low-voltage access hardware. It is typically installed by electricians, security system integrators, and door hardware technicians working in commercial and institutional settings.

This key switch is used in applications where a controlled, tamper-resistant point of entry or exit activation is required. The flush-mount form factor allows for clean installation in door frames, wall panels, and mullions. The maintained SPDT output gives installers flexibility to wire for both normally-open and normally-closed control circuits. Common installation scenarios include lobbies, stairwells, loading docks, and secure interior doors where key-operated control is preferred over pushbutton or card access.

Key Features

• Flush-mount design integrates cleanly into wall plates, door frames, and panel cutouts
• Stainless steel construction provides durability and resistance to surface wear
• SPDT maintained contact holds switch position after key operation — no spring return
• Suitable for controlling electric strikes, magnetic locks, and door operators
• Tamper-resistant key operation limits unauthorized activation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install flush key switch for commercial access control and door operator systems where an SPDT maintained contact is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or certified access control technician. De-energize all connected control circuits before wiring the switch. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for low-voltage control wiring and verify contact ratings against the connected load before commissioning. Consult the door operator or access control panel manufacturer documentation to confirm proper wiring to the SPDT terminals.
