Camden Door Controls CM-170/22 Key Switch 3 Position

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-170/22 is a key switch with a 3-position switch mechanism designed for access control and door control applications. Key switches of this type provide secure, operator-controlled activation of door release systems, electric strikes, magnetic locks, and similar low-voltage access hardware. The 3-position configuration allows for distinct operational modes, giving installers and facility managers granular control over door access sequences. This type of component is installed by licensed electricians and access control technicians in commercial and light industrial settings.

The CM-170/22 is suited for use in commercial access control systems where keyed activation is required. Typical installation scenarios include entry vestibules, secure corridors, and controlled access points in office buildings, healthcare facilities, and institutional environments. The 3-position switch configuration supports applications requiring multiple control states, such as off, momentary, and hold positions, making it adaptable to a range of door hardware configurations.
