Camden Door Controls CX-ED2079-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the Camden CX-ED2079?
No handing to specify. The strike mounts non-handed, and the body adjusts horizontally so you can dial in latch engagement after the frame is prepped. That also means one part number covers both leaves of a pair.
2) Can I set the Camden CX-ED2079 to unlock on a fire alarm or power loss?
Yes, fail safe and fail secure are field selectable on the strike itself, so you set it at install rather than ordering a different part. Fail safe releases the door when power drops (common on an egress or alarm-interfaced opening), fail secure keeps it locked. Note that it is not fire rated, so it should not be used on a labeled door either way.
3) Will the Camden CX-ED2079 fit in a shallow frame?
The strike body measures 3-3/8 x 1-7/8 x 1-7/32 inches (86 x 47 x 31 mm), with the 1-7/32 inch figure being the depth into the frame. That low profile body is the point of the series, so it goes into frames where a full size Grade 1 body will not fit. Measure your available jamb cavity against that depth before cutting.
4) I have a mortise lock, not a cylindrical lock. Is this the right strike?
No. The CX-ED2079 is cut for centerline latch entry on cylindrical locksets with a 1/2 to 5/8 inch latch. For a mortise lock, look at the Securitron MUNL Mortise UnLatch, the Von Duprin 6210 for mortise locks, or the Von Duprin 6400 modular strike that handles mortise or cylindrical.
5) The CX-ED2079 is not fire rated - what cylindrical lock electric strike can be used on a fire rated opening instead?
The Camden CX-ED2079 carries a fire rating of No, so on a labeled opening look to a fire rated cylindrical lock strike instead. The Adams Rite 7240 is a fire rated electric strike for cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch latchbolt projection, and the Von Duprin 4211 32D is a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation. The Hager 2930 is a fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage.
6) Does the Camden CX-ED2079 have latch monitoring, or do I need another strike for that?
The CX-ED2079 provides selectable fail safe/fail secure operation and horizontal adjustment of the strike body. If the access control system needs door position or latch status feedback, the Dortronics 3300 Series is an electric strike with a latch bolt sensing switch and 12/24VDC operation with a strike plate for ANSI prep 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch, and the Hager 2945 rim exit strike includes a latchbolt monitor.
7) Can the Camden CX-ED2079 go into an aluminum storefront jamb?
The CX-ED2079 is a low profile strike body measuring 3-3/8 in H x 1-7/8 in W x 1-7/32 in D for cylindrical locksets. For narrow aluminum jambs, the Adams Rite 7100 Series with a flat 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch faceplate and the Adams Rite 7160 with a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch faceplate are built for aluminum jambs, while the Adams Rite 7170 covers hollow metal and wood jambs.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Camden CX-ED2079 for field-selectable fail safe or fail secure operation?
The CX-ED2079 is field selectable between fail safe and fail secure. The Hager 2925 and Hager 2928 both offer field reversible fail safe/secure operation, the 2925 for a 5/8 inch latch. The Trine EN430 12VDC strike is also field selectable fail safe or fail secure, with a 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch faceplate and up to 7/8 inch throw.
9) Is the Camden CX-ED2079 Grade 1, or do I need a different strike for a high-abuse opening?
The CX-ED2079 is a Grade 2 ANSI electric strike rated 1000 lbs static and 50 ft-lbs dynamic strength. For heavy duty Grade 1 service, the Alarm Controls AES-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike, and the Von Duprin 4211 32D and 6400 32D are Grade 1 heavy duty units, the 6400 being a modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks. The Locknetics MDS100 and MS100 are also heavy duty strikes.
10) The CX-ED2079 is for cylindrical locksets - what should I use on a mortise lock or a rim exit device?
The CX-ED2079 uses centerline latch entry for cylindrical locksets with 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latch projection, so a mortise or exit device opening takes a different body. For mortise locks, the Securitron MUNL Mortise UnLatch strike and the Von Duprin 6210 are fire rated Grade 1 options. For rim exit devices, the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and latchbolt monitor, and the SDC 30-4 is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt. For surface vertical rods, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete strike pac.
11) I need a strike for a latchbolt longer than 5/8 inch - is the Camden CX-ED2079 the right choice?
The CX-ED2079 accepts 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latch projection, so a longer throw needs a different body. The HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) strike body handles 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts, and the Trine EN430 12VDC fire rated strike accepts up to 7/8 inch throw. For a 3/4 inch keeper on a double door, the Rockwood double door electric strike uses a 3/4 keeper.
12) Should I buy the 3 faceplate or 1 faceplate version of the Camden CX-ED2079?
Two options are offered. The CX-ED2079 ships with three stainless steel faceplates, which is the one to order when you do not know the existing frame prep or you are covering several openings with different cutouts. The CX-ED2079-1 comes with a single ANSI square faceplate, which suits a known standard ANSI prep where you do not need the spares.
13) Will the Camden CX-ED2079 strike buzz when it releases?
That depends on how you power it. Wired on AC it buzzes, which some buyers want as an audible signal that the door has released. Wired on DC it operates silently. On a 12/24V AC/DC selectable strike you get either, so pick the supply to suit the space, DC for offices and healthcare corridors, AC where staff need to hear the release.
14) How tough is the Camden CX-ED2079 for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is a commercial ANSI Grade 2 strike rated 1000 lbs static and 50 ft lbs dynamic strength, with 700,000 cycles of endurance and 250,000 cycles UL Verified on the 2079. That covers a busy tenant or office door. For a heavier abuse opening where a Grade 1 device is specified, the Von Duprin 4211 or the Alarm Controls AES-100 heavy duty strike are the Grade 1 alternatives.
15) My power supply is 12VDC only. How much current do I need to budget per door for the Camden CX-ED2079?
Figure 300 mA per strike at 12 VDC, or 150 mA if you run it at 24 VDC. Voltage is selectable between 12 and 24V AC or DC on the same unit, and it is rated continuous duty, so on a fail safe setup it can hold energized without a duty cycle limit. Multiply the 300 mA by your door count when sizing the supply.
16) What is a simpler alternative to the Camden CX-ED2079 if I only need fail secure on a light commercial door?
The CX-ED2079 offers selectable fail safe/fail secure and continuous duty. If the opening only calls for fail secure, the Trine 001 Series is a fail secure light commercial strike with a 5-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch faceplate, and the RCI 15BS is an economy fail secure strike for special offset latch entry. The SDC 15 Series is a value strike for a 5/8 inch latchbolt with 12/24 VDC operation, and the SDC 25 Series covers a 1/2 inch latchbolt.
17) The Camden CX-ED2079 runs 12/24V AC/DC - what if my power supply is 8-16V or 16-24V?
The CX-ED2079 is 12/24V AC/DC selectable, and the companion CX-ED2071 covers 8-16V AC/DC installations. Among other makes, the Trine 004 strike operates on 8-16VAC fail secure with a 6-1/4 x 1-3/8 inch faceplate, and the Trine 2001 runs 16-24VAC/DC fail secure with a 5-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch faceplate.
18) Is there an electric strike that avoids cutting the frame, unlike the Camden CX-ED2079?
The CX-ED2079 is a low profile strike body with three stainless steel faceplates and horizontal body adjustment, installed into the jamb. If cutting the existing frame is not an option, the Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike. The Locknetics CS450 is another strike in that family for comparison.
19) What looks like a substitute for the Camden CX-ED2079 but is not a complete strike?
Be careful with accessory and component items. The HES 1500 and HES 1600 offerings are electric strike accessories for those Grade 1 fire rated series, not standalone strikes, and the HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) is a strike body only. The CX-ED2079 ships as a complete strike with three stainless steel faceplates included, while the CX-ED2079-1 includes one ANSI square faceplate.
