Camden CM-35K Narrow Push Plate Switch – 2″ × 4-1/2″ Stainless Steel, All-Active, ADA-Compliant, Momentary SPST N/O

The Camden CM-35K is a narrow stainless steel push plate switch engineered for high-traffic access control applications. Measuring 2″ × 4½″ (50.8 mm × 114 mm), it meets Ontario Building Code (OBC) activation plate requirements and is ideal for installations where space is limited but durability and accessibility are essential.

Featuring an all-active design, the CM-35K activates with minimal force anywhere on the plate surface, making it fully ADA compliant and user-friendly for people of all abilities. The switch provides momentary SPST normally-open (N/O) contact, rated for 3A @ 30V DC, ensuring reliable integration with electric strikes, maglocks, door operators, and alarm systems.

Constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel, the CM-35K is built to withstand daily use in demanding environments such as hospitals, schools, offices, and public buildings. Its silent operation makes it especially suitable for healthcare and institutional facilities where noise reduction is critical.

Camden Door Controls CM-35K – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Camden CM-35K push plate fit a narrow stile or a single-gang box?
The CM-35K plate measures 4-1/2 by 2 inches, so it fits where a standard 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 square plate won't, such as narrow door frames, mullions, and tight jamb returns. That footprint also lines up with the common single-gang opening. If you need a larger target area for the same function, step up to a wider Camden plate instead.
2) What are the electrical contact ratings on the Camden CM-35K, and can it switch a maglock directly?
It's a momentary SPST normally-open contact rated 3A at 30V DC. That's enough to signal an access control panel, door operator, or alarm input, and to break the low-voltage DC feed on typical strikes and maglocks within that rating. It is a DC-rated dry contact, so don't run line-voltage AC through it, and check your lock's inrush current stays under 3A.
3) Does the whole plate work as the button, or do I have to hit a center spot?
All-active. Pressure anywhere on the stainless face triggers the switch, with minimal force required, which is why it's called out as ADA compliant. For hospital corridors and wheelchair users pushing with an elbow or forearm, that matters more than any other spec on the plate.
4) Does the narrow 2 inch Camden plate satisfy Ontario Building Code activation plate size?
Yes. Camden states the 2 by 4-1/2 inch CM-35K meets Ontario Building Code activation plate requirements, so it can be used as the barrier-free door activation device on Ontario projects where there isn't room for a full square plate.
5) What faceplate markings can I order the Camden CM-35K with?
Two faces: a blank stainless plate, or one engraved with the active wheelchair symbol and 'Push to Open' text. Use the marked version on barrier-free entrances where signage is expected, and the blank one for request-to-exit or applications where you don't want the door read as a public automatic entrance.
6) Is the CM-35K wireless, or does it need to be hard wired?
Hard wired. There is no wireless communication in the CM-35K, so you run low-voltage cable from the plate back to the operator, panel, or strike circuit. Plan a wire path through the frame or wall at the mounting location before you cut in.
7) Is a momentary normally-open plate the right choice, or do I need a maintained switch?
Momentary N/O is what you want for push-to-open and request-to-exit: the contact closes only while pressed, the operator runs its cycle, then the circuit opens again. If you need the door to stay unlocked or an operator held in a mode until someone presses again, a momentary plate like the CM-35K won't do it, and you need a maintained or alternate-action switch instead.
8) Is the Camden CM-35K quiet enough for a hospital or a library?
Yes, and that's a specific design point on it. The switch is ultra-quiet in operation, so no audible click on each actuation, which is why it turns up in healthcare and institutional jobs where a clacking plate on a high-traffic door becomes a complaint.
9) What finish and material is the Camden CM-35K plate, and will it hold up on a high-traffic entrance?
Heavy-duty stainless steel, in a stainless finish, with no painted or plated coating to wear off the push surface. It's specified as a commercial product for continuous use in schools, hospitals, offices, and public buildings, which is the traffic level that eats plastic plates.
