Camden CM-1290 Key Switch - Stainless Steel Key Switch DPDT Maintained
The Camden CM-1290 is a rugged, flush-mount, vandal-resistant key switch built to deliver flexible, reliable access control in commercial and industrial settings. As part of Camden’s CM series, it is configured with a DPDT maintained contact arrangement, making it ideal for applications where a stable “on/off” control with dual circuits is needed.
The CM-1290 supports both left and right operation, accepts standard 1″ to 1¼″ mortise cylinders, and is finished in durable stainless steel for indoor or outdoor use.
Its design includes security features such as locators (to prevent cylinder spinning) and tamper-proof screws, making it suitable for public, semi-protected, or high-traffic installations.
Typical usage includes controlling electric strikes, overhead doors, bypass circuits, or dual relay control in access control systems.
