Camden Door Controls CM-7436K/4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Camden CM-74/75 Top Load push plate work if there's a header or overhead obstruction right above the mounting spot?
No. The Top Load Column push plate loads from the top, so it needs clear space above the installed unit to service the switch. If you have a transom bar, closer body, or frame return sitting tight over your intended location, pick a push plate that doesn't load from the top. Where the space is clear, the payoff is the profile: the unit stands just 1-1/2 inches deep and surface mounts with leveling screws, so there's no back box to cut into the wall.
2) Do I have to run wire from the push plate to the door operator on the Camden CM-74/7536K?
No wire from the plate. The 36 inch CM-74/7536K carries a built-in Kinetic no-battery wireless transmitter, so the act of pressing the plate generates the power that sends the signal. Nothing to pull to the plate location and no battery to change out later. You still need the matching Camden wireless receiver wired at the operator end to take the signal and dry-contact the operator.
3) What width do I order on the Camden 36 inch Top Load push plate, 4.5 inch or 6 inch?
Both widths are offered on the 36 inch column: 4.5 inch is the CM-74 series and 6 inch is the CM-75 series. The height is 36 inches either way, so the choice is purely how much face the plate presents on the jamb or wall. On a narrow mullion or a tight return, the 4.5 inch keeps the plate off the edge. Where the plate is a wayfinding element in a lobby or a high-traffic corridor, the 6 inch reads from further away. Both come with the wheelchair symbol and PUSH TO OPEN graphic in clear aluminum finish.
4) Does the Camden 36 inch column push plate meet Canadian building code for barrier-free door operators?
The CM-74/75 Top Load column plates are OBC, NBC and CSA compliant, which covers the Ontario and National Building Code barrier-free actuator requirements. One exception worth knowing before you spec a facility: the stainless steel model is not CSA compliant. The 36 inch aluminum unit is the one that carries the full compliance.
5) Can I run a Camden Kinetic push plate switch straight into a mag lock or an electric strike?
Not directly. The Kinetic version transmits wirelessly, so the switching happens at the receiver, not at the plate. The hardwired CM-74/75 switch is what carries the 15 amp at 30 VDC contact rating on an SPDT momentary Form C contact, which is what lets it break a lock circuit directly. Plan the Kinetic unit as an operator actuator with a receiver doing the contact work, and spec a wired plate if you want the switch itself in the lock circuit.
6) Why use a 36 inch tall column push plate instead of a standard square actuator?
Reach. A 36 inch column gives a continuous activation surface up the wall instead of a single fixed point, so a wheelchair user, someone with an armload, or a child hits it without having to find the right height. That is the reason columns get specified in healthcare, schools, and multi-family entries where the user population varies. The tradeoff is footprint: you need 36 inches of clear vertical wall or jamb, plus room above it because this is a Top Load unit.
7) Can the Camden Top Load column plate be surface mounted on a concrete or block wall with no back box?
Yes, and that is the point of the Top Load design. It surface mounts with leveling screws and takes no back box, so on block, concrete, or an existing finished wall you are anchoring the plate face and not coring for a device box. The leveling screws matter on masonry, where the surface is rarely flat enough to sit a 36 inch column true without adjustment.
8) Is there a touchless version of the Camden CM-74/75 column push plate for a hospital or clinic?
Yes. The CM-74/75 column is offered with a built-in touchless activation sensor as an option, which is the usual spec for patient care areas, restrooms, and food service where surface contact is a concern. The tradeoff against the Kinetic version is power: a sensor model has to be fed, running on 12-24 VDC plus or minus 10 percent, while the Kinetic unit needs no wire and no battery at the plate. Pick the sensor where you already have power at the actuator, and Kinetic where running wire is the expensive part.
9) What wireless options does the Camden CM-74/75 column push plate come in besides Kinetic?
Two wireless paths are offered on the CM-74/75 column: Kinetic, which harvests the energy of the button press so there is no wire and no battery, and Lazerpoint. Kinetic is the one to spec when the plate sits somewhere you cannot power and do not want to be servicing batteries in a few years. Either way the plate has to be paired to its matching Camden receiver at the operator.
10) Will the Camden 36 inch column plate match the other accessible entrances in my building?
If your other openings use Camden CM-74 or CM-75 column actuators, yes, this is the same family and the same face. The 36 inch unit ships in clear aluminum with the wheelchair symbol and PUSH TO OPEN wording, which is the standard barrier-free graphic, so it reads consistently against existing accessible entries. Match the width to what you already have, 4.5 inch for CM-74 or 6 inch for CM-75, so the plates line up visually across the building.
11) Is the Camden column push plate rated for a commercial entrance or is it a residential product?
Commercial. The CM-74/75 column plate is built as commercial door hardware on an aluminum substrate, and the compliance set it carries (OBC, NBC, CSA) is building code territory, not residential. It is the actuator you put on an institutional or multi-family entry, not a house.
