Custom Switches:
Your Switch. Your Way!
Customer Switches  
Even with a variety of more than 4,000 switches it's possible that you may not find the one you need. Don't worry. Camden has you covered with our custom built switches.

It's your switch, your way! To meet this growing demand for custom switches, Camden has now built up and expanded the custom switch program not only to enhance our support for your projects, but also offer high quality, fast delivery and affordable pricing.

 

Custom switches allow you the capability of complimenting architectural finishes and interior designs, as well as supplying text and graphics for special and foreign language applications.

 

You won't find the same innovation, personalization and ease-of-doing-business with the same level of custom solution switches in any other company.

 

Let Camden be your one stop source. Contact Camden's Customer Service Department at 1-877-CAMDEN-9 to receive a free, no obligation custom product quotation.

Camden Tough: Mushroom Pushbuttons Provide Better Vandal Resistance  
 
Mushroom Pushbuttons
We are challenging the myth that all brands of switches are the same! Just have a look at Camden CM-4000 or CM-5000 series mushroom pushbuttons against competitive models. First, the Camden cast aluminum faceplate is much heavier. This insures that the plate won't deform and become loose on the mounting box over time. Next you'll notice that the button is free-spinning, which means it can't be easily twisted or broken off like competitor models.

The graphics are engraved and paint filled, not simply printed, so they will never fade or wear off. Lastly, look at the collar directly behind the button, and reinforcing ring behind the faceplate. Camden makes these parts out of metal, not plastic, to make sure Camden switches are tough enough for your business!
 
All our switches, including our mushroom pushbuttons, are backed by a guarantee unmatched in the industry...a "2 for 1" replacement warranty if you ever receive one of our products that has a manufacturer's defect.

When you consider the cost of just one unnecessary service call or how critical activation devices are to the uninterrupted operation of your access control or automatic door systems - selecting 'Camden Tough' quality is one of the smartest business decisions you can make!

When you need the best strike for your application, look no further than Camden Controls! We manufacture the highest quality of strikes to meet the exact requirements of any commercial and industrial application. There are 4 strike plate options available: ANSI square; ANSI round; wood door; and hollow metal door.
 
Strikes Preload


Series 10
strikes

offer BHMA grade 1 performance and feature dual input voltage and field selectable fail secure/fail safe operation.        

 

Series 14

is a grade 1 strike designed for UL fire-rated, heavy-duty applications.  
   

 Series 18 strikes offer the same 'universal' features as the Series 10 strike but in a 'no cut' EZ Fit™ configuration. This strike is designed to fit in ANSI latch plate openings and offer both horizontal and vertical faceplate adjustment.    

 

Series 20 is a BHMA grade 2 medium duty strike with a deep latch cavity.    

 

Series 30 is a fail secure strike available with 3 input voltages specified. It also features an adjustable keeper.              

 

Camden's new 20 'EPD' Series strikes offer 'universal' all-in-one design and up  to 65lbs. pre-load! These new strikes eliminate the binding problems that occur when the door latch is forced against the strike keeper. Whether caused by differences in inside/outside air pressure or warped doors, 20 EPD Series strikes offer the highest pre load rating, precision engineered quality and the most adjustability in the industry.    


The Series 22 is a grade 2 strike designed for rim or surface mounted exit devices in wood or metal frames.

The New Lazerpoint RF Cable Tool

Cable tool
Camden's new Lazerpoint Cable Tool provides visual confirmation of the operation of the Lazerpoint RF wireless receiver, when the wireless (switch) transmitter is activated. The tool is designed to visually test for wireless signal strength between TX and RX and confirm relay activation. 

You'll find this new tool extremely helpful when you cannot see the receiver during the installation of the transmitter, a very common situation since the receiver is often put above the ceiling tile or in the door operator cabinet. Another great enhancement is the Lazerpoint Cable Tool's new design. Rather than being a simple plug in connector that can easily fall out, it now clips to the receiver.

It also includes a handy wiring diagram. Camden has also released a new CM-120 Series installation and programming video.

The video features Peter Lukacs, Camden's technical support manager, visually demonstrating the product, programming and installation.

Mag locks

Installing a code compliant access control system can be a daunting task because it requires comprehensive knowledge of applicable regulations, equipment options and installation methods. That's why Camden has released an updated 'how to' guide titled 'Code Compliant Electric Locking Systems Used in the Means of Egress'.

This guide is designed to provide you with all of the important information you need in one easy to use reference piece, including code excerpts, equipment lists and point to point wiring diagrams. The revised edition was recently updated to include both IBC and NFPA code requirements. To receive your free copy, just click the link below.

Camden Keypads Introduce Unique Features to the Industry   
 
CM-120

CM-120 Series keypads are not only the first keypads in the market to offer TriBrid (wired, Weigand & wireless) performance, they also offer new programming features that deliver more flexibility and convenience to your customers!

For example, the two keypad relays can be programmed to operate at the same time or with a time delay activation of the 2nd relay (for door sequencing) - or the relays can be programmed to activate independently, with up to 500 user codes assigned to each relay. Where other keypads require either a '*' or "#" 'enter' key after the user code, you can program CM-120 Series keypads to accept any key as the 'enter' key, or no key at all, so users don't have to learn a new way to enter their code when installing the CM-120 keypads in retrofit applications. Another great innovation is our exclusive 'global lock out' feature. This feature allows users with a master code to instantly take the keypad 'off line' with the press of just a couple of keys.
