RCI RCI-3513DMB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the RCI 3513DMB cabinet lock work on a 12VDC access control system, or do I need 24V?
Either one. The 3513DMB is field selectable for 12 or 24VDC, so you set it at install rather than ordering a voltage-specific part. Current draw is 200mA at 12VDC and 100mA at 24VDC, so size the power supply off whichever rail you pick, and remember the 200mA figure if you are ganging several locks on one 12V supply.
2) Does the 3513DMB need to be ordered left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The 3513DMB is non-handed, and it surface mounts, so one part number covers left and right cabinet doors and drawers. That is useful if you are stocking spares across a building instead of tracking hands.
3) What exactly does the dual monitoring on the RCI 3513DMB report back?
Two SPDT signals: one for the catch position and one for the lock pin position. That means your panel can tell the difference between a cabinet door that is closed and a cabinet door that is actually locked, which single-switch cabinet locks cannot do. If your head end only has one monitoring input per point, you will need two inputs to use both.
4) Can I set the 3513DMB to unlock on a fire alarm or power loss?
Yes. Fail mode is field selectable, so the same unit can be configured fail-safe (unlocks when power drops, for release on alarm) or fail-secure (stays locked without power, for cash drawers, narcotics storage, and anything that must not open in an outage). Decide before you wire it, since the setting is made at the unit.
5) Will the RCI 3513DMB fit inside a shallow cabinet or a drawer box?
The unit measures 2 x 1.75 x 6 inches and mounts on the surface, so you need a clear run of about 6 inches on one axis plus room to bring wire to it. Weight is 0.5 lb. In a thin drawer front, the 6 inch dimension is the one that usually decides whether it goes in.
6) Is 250 lbs of holding force enough for a secure storage cabinet in a hospital or school?
250 lbs holding force is a commercial-duty rating for cabinet doors and drawers, which is the application this lock is built for. It is not a door lock, so do not put it on a personnel opening or an egress door. For medication carts, equipment cabinets, control panels, and cash handling drawers it is in the right class.
7) Does the 3513DMB take a key or a cylinder for override?
No. It is a keyless, non-keyed electric lock with no cylinder or keyway, so all access comes through your reader, keypad, or panel output. If you need a mechanical override for a power outage, plan for it elsewhere in the design or configure the lock fail-safe.
8) Is the RCI 3513DMB battery powered or does it need to be wired?
Hard wired only, no batteries. It runs off a 12 or 24VDC supply, so the cabinet needs power run to it and, if you want the doors to stay secure during an outage, a backup supply or a fail-secure configuration. Budget the wire path when you pick cabinet locations.
9) What finish does the 3513DMB come in, and is there another option?
Black is the only finish on the 3513DMB, and it ships in that single configuration under one model number. Since it mounts inside or behind the cabinet face in most installs, the finish is usually not visible from the room side.
10) Where is the RCI 3513DMB made?
Made in the USA, which is what agencies and institutional buyers with domestic sourcing requirements usually need on the submittal. It is part of RCI's 3 Series electromechanical cabinet locks.
