Camden Door Controls CX-EPD-2030L Preload Electric Strike

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CX-EPD-2030L is a preload electric strike designed for installation in hollow metal door frames. Electric strikes replace the fixed strike plate in a door frame, allowing the latch to retract and the door to open when an electrical signal is received. The CX-EPD-2030L accommodates preloaded door conditions, meaning it is engineered to release reliably even when door pressure or wind load holds the latch against the strike keeper. Licensed electricians and security system integrators are the primary trades responsible for installation and wiring of this hardware.

This electric strike is suited for commercial and institutional access control applications where hollow metal frames are the standard construction. Preload-rated strikes are commonly specified in high-traffic entryways, stairwell doors, and vestibule applications where positive door pressure is a recurring condition. The CX-EPD-2030L is sold as a single unit and is intended for use in new construction and retrofit access control projects.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified access control technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage wiring. Disconnect power to the access control system and lock controller before beginning any wiring work. Verify frame prep dimensions match the strike body prior to mortising or modifying the hollow metal frame. Consult local building and fire codes to confirm that the selected fail-safe or fail-secure mode is permitted for the door type and occupancy classification.
