Camden Door Controls CX-ED1579L Electric Strike

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CX-ED1579L is a Grade 1 fire-rated electric strike designed for mortise cylinder lock applications. Electric strikes replace the fixed strike plate on a door frame, allowing the latch or bolt to be released electrically while maintaining mechanical hold when power is removed or applied, depending on fail-safe or fail-secure configuration. This unit meets Grade 1 durability standards, making it appropriate for high-cycle commercial and institutional door openings. Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith, security integrator, or electrician working under access control system specifications.

The CX-ED1579L is suited for commercial door hardware installations where mortise cylinder locksets are already in use or being specified. Its fire-rated designation makes it appropriate for use in fire-rated door assemblies where code compliance requires listed hardware. Typical applications include office buildings, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and multi-tenant commercial properties requiring controlled access on fire-rated openings.

Verify local fire and building codes, including NFPA 80 requirements for fire-rated door assemblies, before installing on rated openings.
