Camden CX-MA0614-58 5/8" Filler Plate for Magnetic Lock
Overview
The CX-MA0614-58 is a 5/8" filler plate designed to close gaps between a magnetic lock strike and the door frame in standard commercial installations. This spacer solves the alignment problem that occurs when frame thickness or recess depth doesn't match the strike body—a common scenario in retrofit access control projects or non-standard frame configurations. Install this plate to ensure the armature sits flush and parallel to the strike, which is critical for consistent holding force and reliable locking cycles.
Compatibility
This filler plate is engineered for Camden 600 lb capacity magnetic lock systems operating at 24VDC. It works with both surface and mortise mount variants in the CX-90 series and similar Camden single-door lock platforms. Verify your strike model and door frame thickness before ordering—the 5/8" profile is designed for specific frame configurations, and mismatched thickness will compromise strike alignment and holding performance.
Installation Notes
Mount the filler plate between the strike body and the frame surface using the existing strike fasteners. Ensure the armature plate maintains parallel alignment with the strike face after the spacer is installed—any gap or angle will reduce magnetic holding force and increase release variance. The plate must sit fully supported across its entire back surface; gaps under the filler will allow the strike to rock under load. Confirm 24VDC supply voltage and proper current delivery (180 mA at 24VDC for CX-90 series locks) before final installation. Do not over-tighten fasteners; use hand tools to avoid stripping threaded inserts in aluminum frames.
