RCI A73 09 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the RCI A73 strike body come with a faceplate?
No. The A73 is the modular strike body only. It ships with a lip bracket and hardware pack, and the faceplate is a separate order chosen to match your door type and frame prep. Budget for that faceplate on the same purchase order or the install stalls at the frame.
2) Is the RCI A73 fail-safe or fail-secure, and can I use it on a fire rated door?
Fail-safe. The A73 releases and allows the door to open when power is lost, which suits egress-controlled openings. That also means it is not for fire rated door assemblies, and the A73 carries no fire rating. For a fire door you need a fail-secure strike that stays latched without power.
3) What voltage does the RCI A73 modular strike body run on?
Two versions are built, 12 VDC and 24 VDC. Pick the one that matches the power supply already feeding the opening rather than trying to convert downstream, and confirm the supply's current capacity before you wire it in.
4) Can I use the A73 body to rebuild an existing RCI 7 Series strike instead of replacing the whole unit?
That is the point of the modular design. The A73 is a 7 Series body, so if the frame cutout and faceplate are already in place from a 7 Series strike, you swap the body and keep the existing prep. It changes the opening to fail-safe operation, so confirm that is what the door is supposed to do before you fit it.
5) What else do I need to finish an RCI A73 electric strike installation?
Beyond the body itself you need a matching 7 Series faceplate for your frame prep, a 12 or 24 VDC power supply sized for the strike's current draw, and wiring run to the frame in the correct gauge. The lip bracket and mounting hardware come in the box. Power stays off until the wiring is terminated and the faceplate is on, then test normal locking, the fail-safe release, and the tie-in to the access control system.
6) Is the RCI A73 suitable for apartment or house doors, or is it commercial only?
It is built for commercial access control, things like office buildings, schools, healthcare entries, retail and government openings. A property manager can absolutely use it on a multi-family common-area or amenity door running off an access control system, but it is not a residential entry product and it needs a low-voltage supply at the frame.
