Camden CX-ED2079 Universal Low-Profile Electric Strike
Flexible 12/24V Access Control for Cylindrical Locksets
The Camden CX-ED2079 is a universal low-profile electric strike designed for cylindrical locksets in commercial access-control applications. It supports 12/24V AC or DC operation, field-selectable fail-safe or fail-secure functionality, and horizontal strike-body adjustment for easier alignment during installation.
Three included stainless-steel faceplates allow the strike to accommodate ANSI square, hollow-metal, and wood-door frames, reducing the need to order separate faceplates for common installations.
