Camden CX-DE1214-38 3/8" Filler Plate

Overview

The CX-DE1214-38 is a 3/8" filler plate engineered for the Camden CX-DE1200 series delayed egress magnetic lock. This accessory fills the gap between the lock housing and door frame when mounting proximity-reader-controlled strikes on standard hollow metal or wood doors. Use this when frame dimensions don't align flush with the lock body—a common scenario in retrofit installations or doors with non-standard jamb widths. The filler ensures proper strike alignment without field-welding or frame modification, speeding installation and preserving door integrity.

Compatibility

The CX-DE1214-38 is designed for the Camden CX-DE1200 series magnetic locks, including single and double door configurations (CX-DE1200-N1 through CX-DE1200-N4, CX-DE1200-B1 through CX-DE1200-B3, and the CX-DE1220 double-door variant). Works with proximity credential readers and supports 24VDC power standard across all CX-DE1200 models. If you're deploying a multi-door access control system with the CX-DE1200's 1,200-lbs holding force and field-configurable 15/30-second exit delay, this filler plate eliminates frame-preparation headaches on doors where the strike mounting surface sits recessed from the jamb face.

Installation Notes

Confirm your door frame thickness and jamb condition before ordering—this plate is sized for a specific 3/8" recess gap. Verify strike orientation (inswing vs. outswing) matches your door swing direction. No special tools required; standard drill and fasteners compatible with the CX-DE1200 mounting hardware. Inspect the frame for flatness; uneven surfaces may require shim adjustment alongside the filler plate to ensure strike engagement is true and holding force is delivered without binding.
