Camden CX-EPD1289L Fire Rated 3/4" Surface Mount Preload RIM Strike

Camden introduces the first surface mount RIM strike with preload in the security industry. CX-EPD1289L (3/4" ) grade 1 surface mount RIM strike, with latch monitoring, also offers a 'Universal' strike design that delivers unparalleled application flexibility, with both UL security and fire listings.


This award-winning strike is now available in stainless steel and has an exclusive, all-black finish.


Preload is pressure exerted on the keeper of a strike that causes the mechanism to fail to release. Whether caused by air pressure, a misaligned door, or inexact installation, CX-EPD1289L RIM strikes are designed to operate where other strikes fail!

Camden Door Controls CX-EPD1289L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an electric strike work on a door that binds or has air pressure pushing on the latch?
That is exactly what the Camden CX-EPD1289L is built for. It releases with up to 15 lbs of preload pressure on the keeper, so a misaligned door, a stairwell under air pressure, or an install that is slightly off will still let the strike open. Preload is the pressure on the keeper that makes an ordinary strike bind and fail to release.
2) What kind of latch does the Camden CX-EPD1289L strike accept?
Pullman latches, with a 3/4 inch latch projection. That is the latch on a rim exit device, so this pairs with rim panic hardware, not with a cylindrical or mortise lockset. If you are electrifying a cylindrical or mortise lock instead, look at a strike built for that prep, like the Hager 2930 or the Von Duprin 6400.
3) Can I use this Camden strike on a fire rated door opening?
Yes, in fail secure mode only. The CX-EPD1289L carries a UL10C/CAN4-S104 3 hour fire rating, and that listing applies only when the strike is field set to fail secure. Set it to fail safe and it is no longer a fire door assembly component, because the latch has to stay engaged when power drops on a fire rated opening.
4) Do I have to order the Camden CX-EPD1289L in a specific voltage or handing?
No. Voltage is field selectable 12 or 24V, AC or DC, and fail safe versus fail secure is set in the field as well. The strike is non-handed, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door. The only ordering choice is finish: stainless steel or the all-black finish.
5) What size power supply do I need for a Camden CX-EPD1289L rim strike?
Budget 560mA at 12V DC or 280mA at 24V DC per strike, and the unit is rated continuous duty so it can sit energized indefinitely in fail safe mode. Running it at 24V halves the current draw, which matters when several strikes share one supply or the home run is long. On AC it buzzes; on DC it is silent, so pick DC for an office or residential corridor.
6) I need an electric strike for an aluminum storefront jamb, will this Camden work?
Not the right tool. The CX-EPD1289L is a surface mount rim strike sized 9-1/8 by 1-7/8 by 3/4 inches, built for a Pullman latch on a rim exit device. For an aluminum jamb with a narrow stile door, the Adams Rite 7100 and 7160 series use a 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch faceplate cut into the jamb. Note those two are not fire rated; if the storefront opening is fire rated, that rules them out.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Camden CX-EPD1289L for a rim exit device opening that needs a fire rating and latch monitoring?
The Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe / fail secure operation and a latchbolt monitor, which lines up with the CX-EPD1289L on all three counts - the Camden is fire rated, field selectable for fail safe or fail secure, and ships with a removable latch monitoring switch. The difference to check before ordering is latch projection: the Camden is built for 3/4 inch Pullman latches at 3/4 inch projection.
8) Which electric strike also takes a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt in a rim mount configuration?
The SDC 30-4 Series is a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt rim mount electric strike with stainless steel construction, the same latch style and mounting approach as the Camden CX-EPD1289L, which is a surface mount rim strike for Pullman latches with 3/4 inch latch projection and heavy duty stainless steel construction. The Camden adds operation under up to 15 lbs of preload pressure and a removable latch monitoring switch.
9) The opening has a cylindrical lockset, not a rim exit device - what should be used instead of the Camden CX-EPD1289L?
The CX-EPD1289L is a surface mount rim strike made for Pullman latches, so a cylindrical lock needs a different body. The Von Duprin 4211 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation and a fire rating, and the Adams Rite 7240 is a fire-rated electric strike for cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch latchbolt projection.
10) What replaces the Camden CX-EPD1289L on a mortise lock opening?
A mortise lock needs a mortise strike body rather than the Camden's surface mount rim design. The Von Duprin 6210 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike for mortise locks running 24 VDC fail-secure with a UL 10C fire rating, the Securitron MUNL Series is a Grade 1 fire rated mortise unlatch strike, and the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular strike that covers mortise or cylindrical locks with a 3-hour UL 10C rating in fail-secure and a satin stainless steel finish.
11) Will an Adams Rite 7100 or 7170 work in place of the Camden CX-EPD1289L on a fire rated opening?
No. The Adams Rite 7100 Series for aluminum jambs, the 7160, and the 7170 for hollow metal and wood jambs are all listed without a fire rating, so none of them suits a rated opening. The CX-EPD1289L carries UL10C/CAN4-S104 3-hour fire listing in fail secure mode. Within the Adams Rite line the 7240 is the fire-rated one, built for cylindrical locksets at 5/8 inch latchbolt projection.
12) Can I get door position or latch status back to my access control panel from this strike?
Yes. A removable latch monitoring switch is included, wired SPDT and rated 100mA at 24V DC resistive. It reports whether the latch is actually secure in the keeper, which is what an integrator wants for a forced or propped door alarm. Because it is removable, you can leave it out on openings that do not need monitoring rather than ordering a different part.
13) How tough is the Camden CX-EPD1289L for a high traffic entrance?
It is a Grade 1 strike in heavy duty stainless steel, UL verified to 1,500 lbs static strength and 70 ft-lbs dynamic. Endurance is 1,000,000 cycles factory tested and 250,000 cycles UL verified. That is main entrance and stairwell territory rather than a light interior office door.
14) Can one Camden CX-EPD1289L handle a pair of doors with two rim devices?
The CX-EPD1289L latches operate independently of each other, so it can serve two rim latches without one release affecting the other. If you would rather use a strike built and sold specifically as a double door unit, the Rockwood ESK-DBL is a Grade 1 double door strike with a 3/4 keeper.
15) What is the difference between the Camden CX-EPD1289L and the SDC 30-4 rim strike?
Both are stainless steel rim mount strikes for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt, so either will take a standard rim exit device latch. The Camden adds preload capability up to 15 lbs, a field selectable 12/24V AC/DC input, a field selectable fail safe or fail secure mode, and an included latch monitor switch. Pick the Camden when the opening binds or you need latch status back at the panel.
16) Should I choose fail safe or fail secure on the Camden CX-EPD1289L?
Fail secure keeps the door locked when power drops and is required to keep the 3 hour UL10C fire listing. Fail safe unlocks on power loss, which suits an egress path governed by a fire alarm release, and the strike is rated continuous duty so holding it energized all day is fine. The choice is made in the field on the unit, not at time of order.
17) Is the Locknetics NC450 no-cut strike the same kind of solution as the Camden CX-EPD1289L?
Both avoid cutting the frame - the Locknetics NC450 US32D is a no cut electric strike, and the CX-EPD1289L is a no-cut surface mount rim strike for Pullman latches with a metal mounting jig included. Where they part company is preload: the Camden is built to operate with up to 15 lbs of preload pressure on the keeper, the condition created by air pressure, a misaligned door, or inexact installation.
18) The opening uses surface vertical rods rather than a rim device - what strike fits that?
The HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete electric strike pac for surface vertical rods and is Grade 1. The Camden CX-EPD1289L is a surface mount rim strike for Pullman latches, so it is the rim device answer rather than the vertical rod one.
19) What is a lighter-duty alternative to the Camden CX-EPD1289L for a low-traffic interior door?
The Trine 001 Series is a fail-secure light commercial electric strike with a 5-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch faceplate, and the SDC 15 Series is a value 5/8 inch latchbolt strike with 12/24 VDC operation. Both differ from the CX-EPD1289L, which is a Grade 1 commercial strike rated for continuous duty with 1,500 lbs static strength and 1,000,000 factory tested cycles. Neither the Trine 001 nor the RCI 15BS economy fail-secure strike carries a fire rating, so they do not suit a rated opening.
20) Which strike besides the Camden CX-EPD1289L includes latch bolt monitoring?
The Dortronics 3300 Series is an electric strike with a latch bolt sensing switch running 12/24VDC with a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches, and the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor. The CX-EPD1289L includes a removable latch monitoring switch rated SPDT, 100mA at 24V DC resistive, and mounts to the surface rather than into an ANSI prep.
21) Is a 5/8 inch latchbolt strike like the SDC 45F an acceptable substitute for the Camden CX-EPD1289L?
Not on a Pullman latch opening. The SDC 45F Series is a fire-rated strike for 5/8 inch latchbolts with a radius corner faceplate, and the SDC 25 Series covers 1/2 inch latchbolt compatibility - both are sized for a different latch than the CX-EPD1289L, which is a surface mount rim strike for Pullman latches at 3/4 inch latch projection.
22) Is the Camden CX-EPD1289L suitable for residential use or is it commercial only?
It is a commercial rated strike. Grade 1 stainless construction, 1,500 lbs static strength, and continuous duty are specified for commercial openings such as apartment building entries, stairwells, and institutional corridors rather than a house door.
23) Does the Camden CX-EPD1289L come in black?
Two finishes are offered: stainless steel and an all-black finish. On a dark anodized frame or a black exit device, the black version keeps the surface mounted body from standing out, which matters because this strike sits on the face of the frame rather than recessed into it.
24) Which strikes run on AC voltage, and how does the Camden CX-EPD1289L compare?
The Trine 004 runs 8-16VAC fail secure with a 6-1/4 by 1-3/8 inch faceplate, and the Trine 2001 runs 16-24VAC/DC fail secure with a 5-7/8 by 1-1/4 inch faceplate; both are fire rated and accept up to 5/8 inch throw. The CX-EPD1289L is selectable 12/24V AC/DC in one unit and draws 560mA at 12V DC or 280mA at 24V DC, with AC buzz and DC silent operation.
25) Do the HES 1500 and 1600 accessory items work with the Camden CX-EPD1289L?
No. The HES 1500 and HES 1600 accessories are made for the HES 1500 Series and 1600 Series Grade 1 fire rated strikes respectively, and stay within those families. The CX-EPD1289L ships with its own metal mounting jig and a removable latch monitoring switch, and takes a spacer plate for horizontal adjustment.
26) What finishes does the Camden CX-EPD1289L come in compared to stainless peers?
The CX-EPD1289L comes in stainless steel and an all-black finish, both on heavy duty stainless steel construction. Among comparable strikes, the SDC 30-4 Series is a stainless steel rim mount unit, the Von Duprin 6400 32D is satin stainless steel, and the Locknetics CS450, MDS100, MS100, and NC450 are US32D.
