Camden Door Controls CM-5000RE Mushroom Switch Red Button

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-5000RE is a mushroom-style push button switch with a red button and exit engraving, designed for access control and door release applications. This type of switch provides a large-profile actuator surface for reliable manual activation, making it well-suited for egress points where quick, positive button contact is required. Licensed electricians and low-voltage access control technicians are the primary installers. The exit engraving identifies the button function clearly at the point of use, supporting code-compliant egress labeling in commercial and institutional facilities.

The CM-5000RE is used in commercial door control systems, typically at egress points such as stairwells, corridor doors, and secure entry vestibules. It is commonly wired into access control panels and electric strike or magnetic lock release circuits. The mushroom-button form factor is a standard choice where a large, easy-to-actuate switch is preferred over a standard flat push plate, including applications serving users with mobility considerations.
