RCI 4104-08 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the RCI 4104 electric strike work on a 1-3/4 inch aluminum storefront door?
Yes. The 4104 covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 to 2-3/8 inches, so 1-3/4 inch, the standard commercial thickness, sits mid-range. The 1-1/2 inch cut-out depth is what matters more on storefront work, and it clears most aluminum and wood frame profiles. The enlarged latch cavity takes narrowline aluminum locks as well as cylindrical and centerline mortise.
2) My latch has a 1/2 inch throw. Can I use the RCI 4104?
No. The 4104 is built around a 3/4 inch latch projection, and a shorter throw will not sit correctly in the keeper. Measure the latchbolt projection off the existing lock before ordering; if it is not 3/4 inch, you want a different strike from the 4 Series matched to your projection.
3) Does the RCI 4104 unlock the door when the power goes out?
No, and that is the point of it. The 4104 is fail-secure, so it stays locked on power loss and the outside stays secured. Egress from the inside is still by the lock or exit device itself, which is mechanical and unaffected. If your opening needs the outside to unlock on power failure, a fail-safe strike is the wrong-way-round choice here and you need a different model.
4) What voltage does the RCI 4104 electric strike come in?
Three: 11-16 VAC, 12 VAC/DC, and 24 VAC/DC. The 11-16 VAC option is the continuous-duty AC choice for door buzzer work; the 12 and 24 VAC/DC units drop onto most access control power supplies. The coil is non-polarity-conscious, so on the DC units you cannot get the two leads backwards.
5) Can I put an RCI 4104 electric strike on a fire rated door?
No. The 4104 is a non-fire-rated, fail-secure strike. Fire door openings require a fire rated electric strike, which is a different construction with no hold-open and a specific keeper. Use the 4104 on non-rated openings, stairwell and perimeter doors that are not part of a rated assembly, and standard commercial access control.
6) Will the RCI 4104 work with a mortise exit device that has an anti-friction latch?
Yes. The latch cavity on the 4104 is widened specifically to take mortise exit devices, including 3-piece anti-friction types, along with cylindrical locks, narrowline aluminum locks, and centerline mortise locks. That anti-friction tongue is what jams narrower strikes, so it is worth confirming the lock is one of those families before you cut the frame.
7) Is the RCI 4104 electric strike Grade 1 and UL listed for a school or hospital spec?
It is UL 294 Listed for access control and UL 1034 Burglary-Resistant Listed, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1. That combination is what most institutional access control specs call out, and it lets a facility standardize the 4 Series across a building. Note it is not fire rated, so rated openings need a different strike.
8) Does the RCI 4104 strike get vibrated open by door slams or a hammer tap?
No. The 4104 uses an anti-vibration keeper design that prevents the strike being manipulated open by vibration, which is a known attack on cheaper strikes at exterior and high-traffic doors. Paired with the UL 1034 burglary-resistant listing, that is the security case for it over a basic strike.
9) Should I use an electric strike like the RCI 4104 or an electrified lock on my access control door?
An electric strike keeps the wiring in the frame, so nothing runs through the door or a hinge transfer. That makes the 4104 the cheaper and faster retrofit when the existing cylindrical or mortise lock is fine and you only need to add card or buzzer release. Go to an electrified lock or mag lock instead when you need latch status and lock monitoring at the door leaf, or when the frame cannot be cut. The 4104 needs 1-1/2 inches of cut-out depth in the frame, which is the usual limit on shallow aluminum profiles.
10) Can the RCI 4104 be used on a residential entry door?
The 4104 is a commercial-duty strike, built for office, retail, healthcare, education, and government access control. It will physically fit a 1-3/8 to 2-3/8 inch door, but it needs a low-voltage power supply and a 3/4 inch projection latch, which most residential locksets do not have.
11) Where do I get the wiring diagram and frame cutout template for the RCI 4104?
RCI publishes installation instructions for the 4104 with the frame prep and wiring detail, and the full RCI product catalog covers the rest of the 4 Series. Both are linked in the product documents. Confirm the current draw against your power supply capacity before you wire it, since a single supply often feeds several strikes.
