RCI RCI-3513 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the RCI 3513 cabinet lock work on a drawer, or is it only for cabinet doors?
Both. The RCI 3513 is built for cabinet door or drawer applications and for small enclosures, and it mounts to the surface rather than requiring a mortise pocket, so there is no prep to cut into a thin drawer front. It is also non-handed, so the same unit works on a left or right swinging cabinet door and on a drawer with no separate part number to order.
2) Can I run the RCI 3513 off my existing 24VDC access control power supply, and how much current does it draw?
Yes. The 3513 is a dual voltage unit that runs on either 12 or 24VDC, drawing 184mA at 12VDC and 90mA at 24VDC. Size the supply from the voltage you are actually using: ten of them on a 24VDC bus is 900mA, while the same ten at 12VDC is 1.84A. It is not battery operated, so it needs a wired supply.
3) Does the RCI 3513 cabinet lock unlock or stay locked when the power drops?
That is your call at install. Fail-safe and fail-secure are field selectable on the 3513, so one part covers both. Set it fail-safe where the cabinet has to release on a power loss or fire alarm drop, and fail-secure where the contents must stay locked through an outage, such as a drug cabinet or a records enclosure. Decide before you close up the enclosure, since the setting is made at the lock.
4) How much space do I need inside the cabinet to mount an RCI 3513?
The 3513 measures 2 x 1.75 x 6 inches, so plan on a clear run of about 6 inches along the mounting surface plus room to land the wiring. In a shallow enclosure the 6 inch figure is the one that catches people out, so check it against the inside of the cabinet before you drill.
5) Is 440 pounds of holding force enough for a secure storage cabinet?
The 3513 holds at 440, which suits cabinet and drawer duty in commercial settings: narcotics and equipment storage, POS cash enclosures, control panel doors, and secure file cabinets. It is a cabinet-scale device, not a door magnet, so do not carry it over to a swinging entry door or an egress opening. For those you want a full size electromagnetic lock or an electric strike sized to the door.
6) Does the RCI 3513 cabinet lock take a key or a cylinder?
No cylinder and no key. The 3513 is keyless and non-keyed, released electrically from whatever you wire it to, a credential reader, a keypad, a request-to-exit button, or an access panel output. That means no key management across a fleet of cabinets, but it also means there is no mechanical override at the lock itself, so plan a bypass at the power supply or head end if staff need to get in during an outage.
7) What finish does the RCI 3513 come in, and will it be visible on the cabinet?
Black, and yes, it is surface mounted so the body sits on the cabinet interior face rather than buried in the material. On glass front or open display cabinets that matters; on a closed metal enclosure or the underside of a drawer it is out of sight once the door shuts. Black is the only finish offered.
8) Is the RCI 3513 cabinet lock made in the USA?
Yes, the 3513 is USA manufactured, which is what agencies and institutions with domestic sourcing language in their purchase orders are looking for on an access control line item.
