RCI A41-08 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage does the RCI A41 electric strike body run on?
The A41 modular strike body is ordered by voltage, and there are three choices: 11-16 VAC, 12 VAC/VDC, and 24 VAC/VDC. Pick the one that matches the output of the power supply already feeding the opening. The 11-16 VAC version is an AC-only buzzer-style body, while the 12 and 24 options run on either AC or DC, so those are the ones to specify when the strike is fed from a filtered DC access control supply.
2) Does the RCI A41 strike stay locked or unlock when the power goes out?
Locked. The A41 is a fail-secure body, so on power loss the keeper stays held and the door remains secured from the outside. Free egress from the inside still comes from the lockset, not the strike. If your application needs the door to release on power failure (some stair towers and egress paths are specified that way), a fail-secure body is the wrong choice and you need a fail-safe strike instead.
3) Can I use the RCI A41 on a fire rated door opening?
No. The A41 is a non fire rated strike body, so it should not be installed in a labeled fire door assembly. Fire openings need a strike specifically listed for that use, with a keeper that holds against the latch under positive pressure. Use the A41 on non-rated commercial openings, corridor doors, and entry points where no fire label applies.
4) Is the RCI A41 a complete electric strike, or do I have to order more parts?
It is the modular body only. The A41 ships with a lip bracket and hardware pack, but the faceplate is a separate selection, so a complete strike is the A41 body plus the 4 Series faceplate that matches your frame and latch. That split is the point of the modular design: you keep the same electrical body and change the faceplate to suit the frame prep. Budget the faceplate and the low voltage power supply as separate line items.
5) Will the RCI A41 body work with my existing 4 Series strike installation?
Yes, if the strike in the frame is an RCI 4 Series. The A41 is built as a 4 Series modular body, so on an existing 4 Series installation you can pull the old body and drop the A41 in behind the faceplate already in the frame, with no new frame cutting. That is the usual reason to buy the body by itself: replacing a failed or wrong-voltage insert without touching the prep. It is not a drop-in for strikes from other series or other brands.
6) I have several doors on different power supplies. Can I standardize on one A41 part number?
Only where the supply voltage matches. The A41 body is voltage specific, offered as 11-16 VAC, 12 VAC/VDC, or 24 VAC/VDC, so a building running some openings at 12V and others at 24V needs both. For a facility standardizing from scratch, the 24 VAC/VDC body is the one to build around: 24V tolerates longer home runs with less voltage drop, and it accepts either AC or DC so a later change of supply type does not force a new strike body.
7) Should I use a fail-secure electric strike or a fail-safe one for an office suite door?
For a standard office or tenant suite entry, fail-secure like the A41 is the normal specification: the door stays locked through a power outage, people inside still get out by turning the lever, and you are not relying on the power supply to keep the building secure. Fail-safe belongs on openings where code or the fire alarm interface requires the door to release when power drops, such as certain stair re-entry doors. The A41 is built fail-secure only, so if the drawing calls for release on power failure, specify a fail-safe strike instead.
8) What do I need in place before installing an RCI A41 electric strike?
Three things beyond the strike itself. A low voltage supply matching the body you ordered (11-16 VAC, 12 VAC/VDC, or 24 VAC/VDC) with enough current capacity for the strike, a wire path into the frame with access for future service, and the 4 Series faceplate suited to your frame and latch. The lip bracket and hardware pack come with the body. Kill the power before opening the frame, run the wiring to code, then test normal release and confirm the door stays locked with power removed before you close out the job.
9) Is the RCI A41 electric strike suitable for a house or apartment door?
The A41 is a commercial-duty product and is intended for commercial access control, not residential entry doors. It shows up on office buildings, healthcare and school corridors, industrial entry points, multi-tenant lobbies, and government access points. A multi-family building with a controlled lobby or common-area door is a legitimate application; an individual apartment or single-family front door generally is not, since it needs no low voltage supply or access control head end.
