RCI RCI-F2164 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the RCI F2164 electric strike work with my existing cylindrical lockset, or do I need a mortise lock?
Either one. The F2164 is built for cylindrical locks as well as mortise exit and latch locks, and it takes latch projections from 1/2 inch (12.7mm) up to 3/4 inch (19mm). The adjustable deadbolt keeper and deadlatch ramp are what give it that range, so the same strike covers a knob or lever latch on one opening and a mortise latch on the next. It will also accommodate up to a 1 inch deadbolt.
2) Can I use an electric strike on a fire-rated door, and what fire rating does the RCI F2164 carry?
Yes, and this is the reason to pick the F2164 over a non-rated strike. It carries a 3 hour fire rating on single swing doors and a 90 minute rating on standard door pairs. On a fire opening the strike has to be fail-secure so the door stays latched when power drops, and the F2164 is a fail-secure unit. That combination is what keeps a rated assembly compliant with card access on it.
3) What size frame cutout does the RCI F2164 need, and how deep does it go into the frame?
The faceplate is 4-7/8 inches, which is the common ANSI single-door strike prep, and the body needs 1-3/4 inches of depth behind the frame. Measure your frame cavity before you cut. A trim plate is included to cover irregular or oversized cutouts, so a frame that has been prepped previously for another strike usually cleans up without patching.
4) Do I have to order the RCI F2164 strike left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The F2164 is non-handed, so one part number covers both swings. That matters if you are stocking spares for a building with doors going both directions, or standardizing across a portfolio, since you carry one strike instead of two.
5) What voltage power supply do I need for the RCI F2164, and can I run it on 24V?
Both 12 and 24 volts, selected in the field, and it will run AC or DC. Current draw is 375mA maximum. You do not order a voltage-specific version, so the same strike drops onto a 12 VDC access panel or a 24 VDC supply. Confirm your supply can carry 375mA per strike before you load several onto one board.
6) Is the RCI F2164 fail-safe or fail-secure, and can it be changed on site?
It ships fail-secure, and the operating mode is field-configurable, so an installer can set it either way without ordering a different part. Fail-secure means the door stays locked with no power and is what a fire-rated opening needs. Fail-safe unlocks on power loss and is used where a free-egress release is tied into the fire alarm.
7) Does the RCI F2164 meet Grade 1 and UL requirements for a commercial access control spec?
It is UL 294 Listed for access control system units, UL 1034 Burglary-Resistant Listed, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1. It is also strength tested at 1,500 lbf static and 70 ft-lb dynamic, with a 500,000 cycle rating. Those are the numbers that go on a submittal for a government, healthcare, or school opening.
8) How do I get the strike lined up with a latch that sits high or low in the frame?
The F2164 uses a saw-tooth adjustment locator that lets you set the vertical position of the deadbolt keeper and the deadlatch ramp during install. That is how you take up misalignment on an existing frame rather than re-cutting the prep. Combined with the 1/2 to 3/4 inch latch projection range, it handles most of what you find on a retrofit.
9) Can I monitor whether the door is actually latched with the RCI F2164?
Yes, through a plug-in latch monitor accessory. It is a separate item, not built into the base strike, so add it to the order if your access control system needs a latch status input back at the panel. Without it you are switching the strike blind.
10) Is the RCI F2164 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance or a school corridor?
Rated at 500,000 cycles with 1,500 lbf static and 70 ft-lb dynamic strength, in stainless steel. That is a commercial-duty strike, not a light residential unit. The solenoid runs cool so the keeper does not heat up under repeated actuation, which is what you want on a door cycling all day.
11) Will an electric strike work with my panic bar, or do I need a different device?
The F2164 covers mortise exit and latch locks along with cylindrical locks, so it works with an exit device that throws a mortise latch into the frame. It will not work with a rim exit device, whose latch engages a surface-mounted strike on the frame face rather than a mortised pocket, and it is not a fit for vertical rod devices that latch at the head and threshold. For those openings you want a rim-type electric strike or an electrified trim option instead.
12) Can the RCI F2164 release a deadbolt as well as a latch?
It accepts up to a 1 inch deadbolt, and the deadbolt keeper is adjustable. That means an interconnected or mortise lock throwing both a latch and a deadbolt can be handled by the one strike. Note the strike releases the keeper, it does not retract the bolt, so the lock still has to be free to withdraw when the door is pulled.
