CX-ED1259L ‘RIM’ Electric Strike
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. INSTALLATION
Introduction
RIM electric strikes, used with Pullman latch devices (i.e. crash
bars) are very different from installing an electric strike for
cylindrical or mortise locksets, and therefore require additional
considerations and a different installation technique. In addition,
Camden’s CX-ED1259L RIM strike is unique from competitive
brands of RIM electric strikes in two regards:
-
CX-ED1259L requires the installer to use additional mounting
screws. Although this may take more time during installation,
the benefit is that once installed, Camden’s RIM strike will not
move out of alignment (and require a service call) – a common
occurrence with competitive RIM strikes.
-
CX-ED1259L is the only ½” thick UL Fire listed RIM strike on
the market. This means that spacer plates (supplied with the
strike) will need to be used whenever the latch projection
(throw) is over ½”, up to ¾”.
