Camden Door Controls CX-EPD1299L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Camden CX-EPD1299L work on a door where the rim exit device is pushing against the strike?
That's exactly what the preload design is for. The CX-EPD1299L keeper releases under up to 15 lbs of preload pressure, so it still works on doors where wind load, a stiff closer, or a warped slab is loading the latch against the keeper. Standard strikes bind under that pressure and fail to release. The design is covered under U.S. Patent 10,988,959.
2) What latch projection does the Camden CX-EPD1299L rim strike accept?
1/2 inch as shipped. The 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch spacer plates that come in the box shim the strike out so it will take a 3/4 inch projection latch instead. Measure the pullman latch throw on your rim exit device before you set the depth, since that is what decides which spacer, if any, you install.
3) Does the Camden CX-EPD1299L tell my access control panel whether the door is actually latched?
Yes, and the hardware for it is in the box at no extra cost. A plug-in latch bolt monitor assembly ships with the strike, giving an SPDT dry contact rated 100mA at 24V DC resistive. Wire it back to a panel input and you get a real latched/unlatched state rather than just a door position switch reading. On most competing strikes latch monitoring is a cost adder or a separate suffix.
4) How much room do I need on the jamb to surface mount the Camden CX-EPD1299L?
The strike body measures 9-3/16 inches H x 1-7/8 inches W x 9/16 inches D (233.2mm x 48.1mm x 14mm). Because it surface mounts, you don't cut a pocket into the frame, but you do need a flat run of jamb face at least that tall and wide, clear of the stop and any weatherstrip. The 9/16 inch depth is what the door has to clear when it swings past, before you add a spacer plate.
5) Should I use a surface mount rim strike or a cut-in electric strike for a rim exit device?
A surface mount rim strike like the CX-EPD1299L screws onto the face of the jamb, so there's no mortising and no ANSI cutout, which is why it's the retrofit choice on an existing frame you don't want to cut. A cut-in strike sits flush and looks cleaner but needs frame prep: the Dortronics 3300 Series, for instance, uses a strike plate for standard ANSI prep (4-7/8 in x 1-1/4 in). If the frame is already ANSI prepped from a previous lock, a cut-in unit reuses that hole. If it isn't, surface mount saves you the cutting.
6) The door assembly is fire rated - what electric strike should be used instead of the Camden CX-EPD1299L?
The CX-EPD1299L is not fire rated, so a fire rated opening needs a different strike. Fire rated options include the Hager 2945 rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure operation and latchbolt monitor, the Hager 2930 Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage, the Von Duprin 6400 32D Grade 1 modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks with a 3-hour UL 10C fail-secure rating, and the Securitron MUNL Grade 1 mortise UnLatch strike. Which one applies depends on the lock: the Hager 2945 suits a rim exit device like the Camden does, while the 2930, 6400 and MUNL address mortise or cylindrical lock preps.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Camden CX-EPD1299L for a rim exit device opening that also needs latchbolt monitoring?
The Hager 2945 is the nearest peer for that opening. It is a rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure operation and a latchbolt monitor, and it is fire rated. The Camden CX-EPD1299L is also field selectable fail safe or fail secure with a latch monitor included, runs on 12/24V AC/DC, and holds up to 15 lbs of preload pressure on the keepers with a 1/2 inch latch projection that becomes 3/4 inch using the included 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch spacer plates. The decision point is the opening itself: if the door assembly requires a fire rated strike, the Hager 2945 carries that rating; the Camden does not.
8) Will a Von Duprin 4211 or HES 310-1 work in place of a Camden CX-EPD1299L?
Not in the same prep. The Von Duprin 4211 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike built for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation, and the HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) is a Grade 1 strike body for 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts - both are jamb-prepped strikes serving a lockset latch. The Camden CX-EPD1299L is a surface mount rim strike with a 1/2 inch latch projection, extended to 3/4 inch with the included 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch spacer plates, and overall dimensions of 9-3/16 inch H x 1-7/8 inch W x 9/16 inch D. Substituting one for the other changes the jamb work entirely.
9) The aluminum storefront jamb will not take a surface mount rim strike - what electric strike fits instead?
For aluminum jambs, the Adams Rite 7100 Series and 7160 both mount to aluminum jambs with a 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch faceplate, and the Adams Rite 7170 covers hollow metal and wood jambs with the same faceplate size. The Camden CX-EPD1299L is a surface mount rim strike measuring 9-3/16 inch H x 1-7/8 inch W x 9/16 inch D, which is a different mounting approach and a much longer body than a 4-7/8 inch faceplate prep. Note that the Adams Rite 7100, 7160 and 7170 are not fire rated, same as the Camden.
10) Which electric strikes besides the Camden CX-EPD1299L include latch bolt monitoring?
Latch monitoring shows up on a handful of peers: the Dortronics 3300 Series has a latch bolt sensing switch and runs 12/24VDC with an ANSI prep strike plate at 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch, and the Hager 2945 rim exit strike includes a latchbolt monitor along with field selectable fail safe/fail secure. The Camden CX-EPD1299L includes a plug-in latch bolt monitor assembly rated SPDT, 100mA at 24V DC resistive. If the access control panel needs a door position or latch status input, all three provide it; the Dortronics 3300 is set up for an ANSI jamb prep while the Camden mounts to the surface for a rim device.
11) The opening has a pair of doors with surface vertical rods - can the Camden CX-EPD1299L be used?
For surface vertical rod hardware, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete Grade 1 electric strike pac built specifically for surface vertical rods, and the Rockwood electric strike for double doors uses a 3/4 keeper and is Grade 1 fire rated in the 310-1 series. The Camden CX-EPD1299L is a surface mount rim strike with a 1/2 inch latch projection, extendable to 3/4 inch with the included spacer plates, made for a rim exit device latch. Match the strike to the exit device type on the doors.
12) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the Camden CX-EPD1299L?
No handing to specify. The strike is non-handed and mounts left or right, so one part number covers both swings. That matters if you're standardizing across a building and don't want two SKUs on the shelf.
13) What voltage and current does the Camden CX-EPD1299L electric strike draw?
12 or 24V, AC or DC, no jumper hunting between them. Current is 560mA at 12V DC and 280mA at 24V DC, continuous duty, so size the power supply with that draw in mind if you're running several strikes off one board. Running it on 24V halves the current, which helps on long cable pulls. On AC it buzzes; on DC it's silent, so use DC on any opening where noise matters.
14) Is the Camden CX-EPD1299L strong enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
The ratings back it up: 1,500 lbs static strength (UL verified), 70 ft-lbs dynamic, and endurance of 1,000,000 cycles factory tested with 500,000 UL verified. It carries a UL security listing and is a Grade 1 rim strike built for commercial use. That's the range you want on a main entry, a stair door, or a tenant entrance in a multi-family or office building.
15) What comes in the box with the Camden CX-EPD1299L, and what else do I need to order?
Shipped with the strike: 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch spacer plates for depth adjustment, a metal mounting jig for layout, and the plug-in latch bolt monitor assembly. What you supply is the 12 or 24V AC/DC power and the wire run back to your access control or door release. No separate monitor kit, no depth adder.
16) What Grade 1 electric strikes compare to the Camden CX-EPD1299L for a high traffic commercial opening?
The Camden CX-EPD1299L is a Grade 1 rim strike rated for continuous duty, UL verified at 1,500 lbs static strength, 70 ft-lbs dynamic strength, and 500,000 cycles UL verified out of 1,000,000 factory tested. Grade 1 peers include the Alarm Controls AES-100 heavy duty strike, the Von Duprin 4211 32D heavy duty strike for cylindrical locks, the Von Duprin 6210 heavy duty strike for mortise locks, and the Securitron MUNL mortise UnLatch. The Locknetics MDS100 US32D and MS100 US32D are also heavy duty. The separator is the lock type each serves rather than the duty class - the Camden is the rim option in that group.
17) What is an alternative to the Camden CX-EPD1299L when the existing jamb cannot be cut?
The Locknetics NC450 US32D is a no cut electric strike, which addresses an opening where cutting the frame is not an option. The Camden CX-EPD1299L takes a different route to the same problem - it is a surface mount rim strike supplied with a metal mounting jig plus 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch spacer plates, and it is non-handed for left or right. Both avoid a deep jamb mortise; the NC450 works on the strike side of a lockset latch while the Camden serves a rim exit device.
18) Which electric strikes run on both 12 and 24 volts like the Camden CX-EPD1299L?
The Camden CX-EPD1299L accepts 12/24V AC/DC, drawing 560mA at 12V DC or 280mA at 24V DC, and runs AC buzz or DC silent. Peers with dual voltage include the Dortronics 3300 Series at 12/24VDC, the SDC 15 Series with 12/24 VDC operation and a 5/8 inch latchbolt, the Hager 2930 with 12/24VDC dual voltage, and the Von Duprin 4211 32D at 12/24 VDC field-selectable. By contrast the Trine 2001 runs 16-24VAC/DC and the Von Duprin 6210 is 24 VDC, so those tie the opening to a specific supply.
19) What finishes does the Camden CX-EPD1299L rim strike come in?
Stainless steel and an all-black finish. Black is the one to reach for on storefront and dark anodized aluminum jambs, where a stainless strike sitting on the face of the frame reads as an add-on. Since this is a surface mount unit, the finish is visible on the jamb face rather than buried in a pocket, so it's worth matching to the frame.
