Camden CM-6050 Electronic Strike Push-to-Lock

Overview

The Camden CM-6050 is a 30VDC electronic strike engineered for access control systems requiring push-to-lock operation combined with key-to-release manual override. The unit provides both normally open (N/O) and normally closed (N/C) contact options, allowing flexible integration with fail-secure or fail-safe door configurations. Deploy this in commercial entry points, server rooms, secure storage, or any controlled-access threshold where you need electronic locking without dependency on continuous power or network availability for emergency exit.

Compatibility

The CM-6050 integrates with access control panels and door controllers that support 30VDC solenoid strikes and SPDT switching logic. It is compatible with standard access control systems using push-button exit request, timed unlock, and manual key-release workflows. The dual-contact design (N/O and N/C) allows integration into both hardwired and networked access control architectures that can monitor strike state or trigger auxiliary functions (alarms, logs, request-to-exit). Verify your control panel's relay voltage and current rating against the strike's 30VDC requirement before installation.

Installation Notes

Wire the strike directly to a 30VDC power supply rated for continuous solenoid duty. Use shielded cable for runs longer than 25 feet to reduce electrical noise and false triggering. Mount the strike in the door frame or adjacent wall cavity; ensure the solenoid bolt path is unobstructed. The key-to-release override allows manual emergency exit without power — critical for fire code compliance in occupied spaces. Confirm door frame reinforcement can handle repeated strike activation, particularly in high-traffic areas. Test the N/O and N/C contact wiring in your control panel logic before final installation to avoid mis-configuration during door lock events.
