Camden 5/8\" Filler Plate for 600 lb. Magnetic - CX-MA0614-58-BK

Camden CX-MA0614-58-BK 5/8" Filler Plate for 600 lb Magnetic Lock

Overview

The Camden CX-MA0614-58-BK is a 5/8" shimming plate designed to accommodate frame geometry variations when installing 600 lb capacity magnetic locks. Door frames rarely sit flush; this accessory bridges the gap between the strike face and the frame edge, ensuring the armature plate engages perpendicular to the magnetic lock body. Proper alignment is critical — even slight misalignment reduces holding force and can cause chattering or intermittent release. Black powder-coat finish blends into standard steel and aluminum frames.

Compatibility

This filler plate is designed for Camden 600 lb magnetic lock systems operating at 24VDC. It works with surface-mount and mortise-mount strike configurations where frame depth or surface unevenness requires spacing adjustment. Verify your magnetic lock's rated capacity before ordering — this plate is specific to 600 lb locks and will not function as a spacer for lower-capacity models (such as the 300 lb CX-90 series). Confirm door frame thickness and the combined depth of the magnetic lock body plus filler plate does not exceed the available clearance in your frame recess or surface mounting area.

Installation Notes

Mount the filler plate directly behind the magnetic lock strike using the existing fastener holes. Tighten fasteners evenly to avoid binding or warping. Ensure the armature plate remains flush and parallel after installation — check with a straightedge before final tightening. Verify door swing clearance; combined thickness of lock body and filler may reduce frame edge standoff slightly. No special tools required beyond a standard wrench or driver.
