RCI 9509-12S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many wires can an RCI flex door loop carry between the door and frame?
The RCI heavy-duty flex door loop takes up to 16 conductors of 22 gauge, or 8 conductors of 18 gauge if you need the heavier wire for lock power. That capacity is what separates it from a basic loop: it lets you run an electric strike or lock, a door position switch, a request-to-exit signal from an exit device, and a reader circuit through a single transfer instead of pulling two loops on one opening.
2) Does installing an RCI flex door loop require machining the door or frame?
No machining. The flex loop is surface mounted, so it fastens to the face of the door and frame on the hinge side and needs no through-bore or mortise cut. That is the practical reason to pick a loop over a concealed electric power transfer: on a retrofit where the door is already hung and you do not want to pull it, drill the door for a concealed transfer, or send it out for prep, the loop goes on with the door in place.
3) Can I run electric strike power and a card reader through the same RCI door loop?
Yes, and that is what the 16-conductor capacity is for. Lock or strike power, door position switch, request-to-exit from an exit device, and reader or keypad circuits can share the one loop as long as the total conductor count fits: 16 at 22 gauge, or 8 at 18 gauge when the lock draw calls for heavier wire. Mixing gauges means budgeting the space accordingly and following your system wiring diagram for separation of power and signal runs.
4) Should I use a surface flex door loop or a concealed electric power transfer?
It comes down to whether the opening is a retrofit or new prep, and whether the loop can be seen. A surface flex loop mounts on the hinge side with no door or frame modification, which makes it the fast choice on existing openings and back-of-house doors. A concealed transfer hides the wiring inside the hinge edge but requires the door and frame to be mortised for it, which usually means pulling the door. If the opening is visible and finish matters, the concealed route wins; if you need the door back in service the same day, the loop does.
5) Which side of the door does an RCI flex loop mount on?
Hinge side, always. The loop has to sit where the door and frame stay closest together through the swing, so it anchors near the hinge edge on the door and on the adjacent frame face. Mount it at the lock edge or the head and it will stretch and fail. Leave enough clearance at the anchor points that the loop bends rather than binds when the door opens fully.
6) Does the RCI flex door loop come with wire in it, or do I pull my own?
The loop is the transfer housing, not a wired assembly. It is an installation accessory that carries and protects your conductors across the hinge gap, so you route your own wire through it to the capacity it takes: 16 conductors at 22 gauge or 8 at 18 gauge. Plan the wire pull as part of the job, including terminations at the frame junction and at the electrified hardware.
7) What finish does the RCI door loop come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
Silver is the finish on the flex loop. It is a neutral tone that reads close to aluminum and satin chrome trim, which is the common case on commercial hollow metal and aluminum openings. On a fleet of doors where the loop is visible, standardizing on the same loop across the building keeps the hinge edges looking consistent rather than mixing finishes door to door.
8) Is the RCI flex door loop rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The heavy-duty flex loop is built for commercial access control openings, which is where a wire transfer sees hundreds of cycles a day and the conductors flex every single time the door moves. Its conductor capacity, 16 at 22 gauge, is sized for multi-point electronic hardware rather than a single residential strike.
