Camden Door Controls CM-9180-BZ Vandal Resistant Dpdt Switch

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-9180-BZ is a narrow vandal resistant switch with a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) momentary action, designed for access control and door release applications. Built to withstand intentional abuse in high-traffic or unsecured areas, this switch provides reliable momentary contact output for activating electric door hardware, magnetic locks, or access control panels. Its heavy-duty construction makes it suitable for installation in demanding environments where standard push buttons would not hold up. Licensed electricians and access control technicians are the typical installers for this type of device.

This switch is intended for use in commercial and institutional access control systems, including corridors, stairwells, lobbies, and other areas requiring a durable egress or entry activation point. The DPDT momentary configuration provides two independent switched circuits, allowing integration with a variety of door control panels, electric strikes, and request-to-exit systems. It falls within the exit devices and push buttons category and is sold as an individual unit.
