Camden Door Controls CM-45/8F Square Push Plate Switch

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-45/8F is a 4.5-inch square push plate switch designed for access control and door activation applications. Push plate switches like this one serve as the activation point in low-voltage door control systems, signaling an electric operator or magnetic lock to release or open a door. This type of device is commonly installed by commercial electricians and access control technicians working on ADA-compliant automatic door systems in commercial and institutional facilities. The unit ships as a single piece and is suited for surface-mount installation on walls, door frames, or door jamb assemblies.

The CM-45/8F is intended for commercial access control installations where a durable, clearly presented activation surface is required. Typical applications include automatic door openers, handicap-accessible entrances, and controlled egress or entry points in offices, hospitals, retail spaces, and public buildings. It is categorized under exit devices and push buttons, making it appropriate for any installation where a hardwired push-to-activate interface is part of the door control circuit.
