Camden CM-59S Surface Round Strike
Overview
The CM-59S is a surface-mounted round strike machined from heavy gauge stainless steel, designed for standard-depth door frame installations where a mortise strike is impractical or undesirable. The round profile accepts electromagnetic and mechanical locking hardware typical in commercial access control systems. This is the hardware-only strike component — it mounts directly to the door frame and partners with electric strikes and solenoid-driven latches in both credential-based and push-button activation scenarios.
Compatibility
The CM-59S interfaces with electric strike assemblies and standard solenoid locks rated for surface mounting on standard-depth frames. Stainless steel construction suits integration into systems deployed in corrosive or damp environments — loading docks, exterior service entrances, salt-spray industrial zones, or coastal facilities. Confirm your strike solenoid or electric latch manufacturer's frame-depth specification before ordering; this unit is not suitable for deep-frame or non-standard cavity applications.
Installation Notes
Surface mounting requires mechanical fasteners into the door frame face — verify frame material and load-bearing capacity before installation. Heavy gauge construction ensures rigidity under repeated solenoid actuation cycles; standard installation torque follows BHMA guidelines for strike fasteners (typically 20–25 ft-lb). No special wiring or power is required at the strike itself; power delivery depends on the paired electric strike or solenoid assembly. Ensure frame material is compatible with stainless steel fasteners to avoid galvanic corrosion in outdoor or high-humidity environments.
