Dormakaba 79PS016T1ER32626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness does the dormakaba RT Plus RFID mortise lock fit?
The RT Plus mortise lockset covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/2 inch (35mm to 66mm) doors, so a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door is well inside the range and so are the thicker solid-core and clad doors you find on apartment entries. Nothing thinner than 1-3/8 inches, and nothing over 2-1/2 inches.
2) Will the RT Plus drop into the mortise pocket my existing lock came out of?
That depends on the lock front, and the RT Plus mortise case is built with either a 1-1/4 inch or a 1 inch front. Measure the width of the front you are pulling out and order to match, because the front is what sits in the routed edge prep. The escutcheon and reader body still need their own through-bolt and spindle prep on the door faces, so an existing pocket of the right front width gets you part of the way, not all of it.
3) Does the RT Plus have a deadbolt, or does the resident have to remember to throw one?
An automatic deadbolt is an option on the RT Plus, and when specified it is a 1 inch (25mm) solid metal bolt that throws on its own once the door closes, so nobody has to remember anything. Alongside it the case carries a latch with a 1/2 inch latch bolt for normal latching. If you skip the automatic deadbolt option you are relying on that 1/2 inch latch alone, which matters on apartment and dwelling-unit doors where the deadbolt is what the code official is looking at.
4) What happens when the batteries die in an RT Plus lock, and does it lose its programming?
Nothing gets erased. The RT Plus keeps its programming and its audit records in non-volatile memory, so they survive a battery change with no reprogramming trip. It runs on 3 AA batteries rated for over two years and flags a low battery to staff before it gets that far. If you want a hard fallback for a dead lock or a lockout, order the optional mechanical key override; without that option there is no key cylinder in the lock to fall back on.
5) Can the RT Plus be keyed into the Best small format IC system we already run in the building?
Yes. The optional key override on the RT Plus is concealed and comes two ways: a Lori KIK core, which can be keyed alike, master keyed, or recoded, or a Best Small IC Adaptor that takes small format interchangeable cores. If your maintenance staff already carries SFIC control and operating keys, the adaptor is the one that keeps the RT Plus on the same key system as the rest of your doors instead of creating a second one.
6) Which RFID fobs and cards will the dormakaba RT Plus read?
The RT Plus reads Mifare across four families. Ultralight C works as a guest key. DESFire covers guest and staff keys in EV3 2K, EV2 4K, EV3 4K, and EV3 8K. Mifare Plus runs Plus 1K for guests and Plus S 1K, S 2K, and S 4K for staff. Mifare Classic covers Mini for guests and Classic 1K and 4K for staff. On top of the cards, the lock is Bluetooth Low Energy capable and works with dormakaba Mobile Access Solutions, so a resident can use a phone instead of a fob for their unit, the amenity spaces, and the building perimeter.
7) Is the RT Plus a wired access control lock or does it work on its own at the door?
It works at the door. The RT Plus is a battery-powered electronic mortise lock, running on 3 AA cells, with the RFID reader built into the escutcheon, so there is no wiring, no power transfer hinge, and no panel to pull cable to. Programming and audit downloads are done at the lock with a handheld unit over Near Field Communication. dormakaba Community software is what ties the openings together for managing residences, amenities, common areas, and perimeter from one place, and it handles both RFID credentials and mobile keys without extra software. If your project actually needs live monitoring and remote unlock at every door, an offline lock like this is the wrong architecture and you want a wired online opening instead.
8) Does the RT Plus meet a Grade 1 spec with ADA lever requirements for a multifamily corridor door?
The lock assembly is ANSI Grade 1 and both the inside and outside levers are ADA-compliant, which is the pair of line items most multifamily and institutional specs are checking for on a dwelling-unit or corridor opening. It is built as a commercial, heavy-duty electronic mortise lockset rather than a residential unit.
9) How does privacy work on the RT Plus, and can staff still get in when a resident sets it?
Privacy on the RT Plus defaults to emergency key override only, meaning a resident who sets privacy locks out ordinary credentials and only the emergency key gets past it. That default is user selectable, so you can set the behavior your property actually wants rather than living with one rule. There is also a passage lockout mode set up with an authorized key when you need an opening held out of passage.
10) Can I see who opened a door and when, and how far back does the RT Plus record go?
The RT Plus stores the most recent 4,000 events, and each one carries a real date and time stamp down to hours and minutes, with automatic daylight saving adjustment so your log does not drift twice a year. Downloads come off the lock with the handheld NFC unit. Because key levels are user-defined, you can separate residents, leasing, maintenance, services, and vendors into their own levels and groups, which is what makes an audit useful for staff monitoring instead of just a wall of card numbers.
11) If a resident loses a fob, do I have to go to the door to cancel the old one?
No trip needed. The RT Plus uses no-touring credentials: you issue the replacement, and the first time it is presented at the lock it automatically cancels the credential it replaced. For a property manager with a lost-fob call at 9pm, that is the difference between reissuing at the office and sending someone around with a programmer.
12) What lever styles and finishes does the dormakaba RT Plus come in for matching the rest of my building?
Four lever designs, Long, Short, Elevon, and Gala, each available in all three finishes: Satin Chrome, Satin Brass, and Black. Every one of those twelve combinations is offered in both handings, so you can standardize a whole property on one lever and finish and still cover doors swinging either way. Pick the lever design first if you are matching existing trim, since finish is the easier of the two to eye-match across an older building.
13) Can the RT Plus tell me if a unit door is standing open?
Door ajar reporting is available, but it is not automatic. The RT Plus uses a tracking mortise that reports a door left ajar when the Messenger option is specified, so if that reporting is part of why you are buying the lock, it has to be on the order. Buy the lock without it and you get the audit trail but not the ajar reporting.
14) Is there a Shabbat-compliant version of the RT Plus for a Jewish community or senior building?
Yes, and it is an ordering decision, not a setting. The Shabbat option is ordered with mechanical key override and has no electronic sensors for the key override, privacy, lever handle, or door ajar. Specify it at order time for the units that need it; the standard RT Plus cannot be converted to it later by programming.
15) Will the outside lever on the RT Plus break if someone forces it while the door is locked?
The outside lever is meant to move when locked. The RT Plus runs a clutch mechanism, and in locked mode the outside lever rotates freely both up and down without driving the latch, so force applied to it has nothing to shear. That is the behavior you want on a high-traffic corridor or an entry that gets pulled on, and it is why the escutcheon can carry a sealed reader without a fragile linkage behind it.

    Easy Access, Enhanced Security

    Posted by Landon on Jun 14th 2024

    I love how the RFID proximity feature makes unlocking doors a breeze - no more fumbling for keys! Plus, the added deadbolt provides extra peace of mind. Just a heads up, though, the installation might require some professional help. Overall, a fantastic blend of convenience and security.
