Camden CX-ED1579L Electric Strike - All-In-One Grade 1 Fire Strike for Mortise and Cylindrical Locksets

The Camden CX-ED1579L is a Grade 1, fire-rated, universal electric strike designed to support both mortise and cylindrical locksets. It’s built with a stainless steel body and ships with five stainless steel faceplates for wide compatibility with various lock manufacturers. Featuring field-selectable 12/24V AC/DC operation and switchable fail-safe / fail-secure modes, this strike provides true “universal” performance. It also includes built-in latch monitoring, non-handed design, and easy-fit connectors for power and status wiring. When configured in fail-secure mode, the unit retains a 3-hour UL10C / CAN4-S104 fire rating.

Camden Door Controls CX-ED1579L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What power supply do I need for a Camden CX-ED1579L electric strike?
It runs 12 or 24 V, AC or DC, selected in the field, so it drops onto most existing access control supplies. Budget roughly 260 mA at 12V or 150 mA at 24V per strike when you size the supply and count how many strikes share it.
2) If I want the door to unlock when the fire alarm drops power, can I still use this Camden strike?
You can set the CX-ED1579L to fail-safe in the field, and it will release on power loss. Understand the trade: the 3-hour UL10C / CAN4-S104 rating applies in fail-secure mode only, so fail-safe is for non-labeled openings where egress or alarm-driven unlocking is the requirement.
3) My door has a rim exit device, not a lockset. Can I use the Camden CX-ED1579L?
No. The CX-ED1579L is specified for mortise and cylindrical locksets with a 3/4 inch latch projection, not for the pullman latch of a rim exit device. For a rim device, use a rim strike: the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor, which matches the mode flexibility and monitoring you get from the Camden. The SDC 30-4 is a 3/4 inch pullman latchbolt rim mount strike in stainless steel, and for surface vertical rods the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete Grade 1 strike pac.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Camden CX-ED1579L electric strike from another brand?
The Von Duprin 6400 32D is the nearest match. Like the CX-ED1579L, it is a Grade 1 strike that serves both mortise and cylindrical locks and carries a 3-hour UL 10C fire rating in fail-secure mode, in satin stainless steel. The difference is in mode flexibility: the 6400 32D is fail-secure, while the Camden is field selectable between fail safe and fail secure and field selectable between 12 and 24V AC/DC. The Hager 2930 is the other close peer, a fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage and field reversible fail safe/secure operation.
5) I need a fail safe electric strike on a fire door. Does the Camden CX-ED1579L work, or do I need something else?
The CX-ED1579L holds its 3-hour UL10C / CAN4-S104 rating in fail-secure mode, so the fire rating applies when it is set fail secure, not fail safe. Fail safe on a fire door generally is not permitted regardless of brand, and the comparable fire rated units are the same story: the Von Duprin 6400 32D carries its 3-Hour UL 10C in fail-secure, and the Von Duprin 6210 is a fail-secure UL 10C strike. If the opening is fire rated, plan on fail secure and use a separate means of free egress from the inside.
6) My latch throw is 5/8 inch, not 3/4. What strike fits instead of the Camden CX-ED1579L?
The CX-ED1579L is specified for a 3/4 inch (19 mm) latch projection. For a 5/8 inch latch, the Hager 2925 is an electric strike with a 5/8 inch latch and field reversible fail safe/secure operation, the Adams Rite 7240 is fire-rated for cylindrical locksets at 5/8 inch latchbolt projection, and the SDC 45F is fire-rated with 5/8 inch latchbolt compatibility. The HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) strike body covers 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts if you are standardizing across mixed openings.
7) Do I have to order a handed version of the Camden CX-ED1579L for a left hand door?
No handing to specify. The CX-ED1579L is non-handed and works on left or right swing openings, which is why a facility can stock one SKU for every door instead of two.
8) Will the Camden CX-ED1579L hold up on a high traffic entrance?
The strike is rated 1,500 lbs static holding force and 70 ft-lbs dynamic strength, with 1,500,000 cycles factory tested and 250,000 cycles UL verified. It also carries UL 1034 and UL 294 listings. That combination is aimed at commercial openings, not light residential duty.
9) Which electric strikes other than the Camden CX-ED1579L have built-in latch monitoring?
The CX-ED1579L includes SPDT latch monitoring rated 100 mA at 24V DC, so no separate monitoring module is needed. Among comparable units, the Dortronics 3300 Series includes a latch bolt sensing switch with 12/24VDC operation and a strike plate for standard ANSI prep at 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches, and the Hager 2945 rim exit strike includes a latchbolt monitor along with field selectable fail safe/fail secure.
10) Which electric strikes besides the Camden CX-ED1579L are Grade 1 and fire rated?
Within the same class as the CX-ED1579L, which is Grade 1 with a 3-hour UL10C / CAN4-S104 rating in fail-secure mode, the Grade 1 fire rated peers are the Von Duprin 6400 32D (3-hour UL 10C fail-secure, mortise or cylindrical), the Von Duprin 6210 for mortise locks (24 VDC fail-secure, UL 10C), the Von Duprin 4211 32D for cylindrical locks, the Securitron MUNL mortise unlatch strike, and the HES 310-1(X) strike body for 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts. The Camden is the one of these that ships non-handed with five faceplates and field-selectable 12/24V AC/DC.
11) What should I use on a pair of doors instead of the Camden CX-ED1579L?
The CX-ED1579L is a single, non-handed strike for a mortise or cylindrical lockset in a standard jamb. For a double door application, the Rockwood electric strike is built for double door use with a 3/4 keeper and is Grade 1 and fire rated, which puts it in the same duty and rating class as the Camden and matches its 3/4 inch latch projection.
12) Is the RCI 15BS or Trine 001 a cheaper stand-in for the Camden CX-ED1579L?
They sit in a different duty class. The RCI 15BS is an economy strike for special offset latch entry with fail-secure only operation and no fire rating, and the Trine 001 Series is a fail-secure light commercial strike with a 5-7/8 by 1-1/4 inch faceplate, also without a fire rating. The CX-ED1579L is Grade 1 with 1,500 lbs static holding, 70 ft-lbs dynamic strength, a 3-hour UL10C rating in fail-secure mode, and field selectable fail safe or fail secure. On a fire door or a high traffic commercial opening, the economy units are not an equivalent.
13) Which alternatives to the Camden CX-ED1579L also run on both 12 and 24 volts?
The CX-ED1579L is field selectable for 12 or 24 V AC/DC, drawing about 260 mA at 12V and 150 mA at 24V. Comparable dual-voltage units include the Hager 2930, a fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage, the Von Duprin 4211 32D with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation, the Dortronics 3300 Series at 12/24VDC, and the SDC 15 Series with 12/24 VDC operation. One distinction: the Camden accepts AC as well as DC at both voltages, while those peers are listed as VDC.
