RCI VR166 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What doors does the RCI VR166 electric strike work with?
The VR166 is designed for doors with surface-mounted vertical rod exit devices that have Pullman-style latches. It works with both single and double door applications. Verify your exit device has the correct latch style before ordering.
2) Is this strike compatible with all exit device brands?
The VR166 works with most major exit device manufacturers that use Pullman-style latches. Check your exit device specifications to confirm latch compatibility. Different brands may require specific mounting adjustments.
3) Does door handing matter for installation?
Yes, door handing affects strike positioning and keeper alignment. The VR166 can be configured for left-hand or right-hand doors. Verify door swing direction and handing before installation to ensure proper latch engagement.
4) What voltage does this electric strike require?
Check the product specifications for exact voltage requirements. Most RCI strikes operate on low voltage DC power. Ensure your access control system provides compatible power output for reliable operation.
5) Is this strike fail-safe or fail-secure?
Verify the specific model configuration for fail-safe or fail-secure operation. This affects how the strike behaves during power loss. Choose based on your security requirements and local fire code compliance needs.
6) Does this meet fire code requirements?
RCI electric strikes are designed for commercial applications with fire code considerations. The VR166 maintains the fire rating of properly rated door assemblies. Verify local fire marshal requirements for your specific installation.
7) What tools are needed for installation?
Basic installation requires drill, hole saw, screwdrivers, and measuring tools. You may need a router for precise frame modifications. Follow manufacturer templates for exact measurements. Consider door frame material when selecting cutting tools.
8) Can this be installed in hollow metal frames?
Yes, the VR166 is commonly installed in hollow metal door frames. Ensure adequate frame thickness and structural integrity. Some installations may require frame reinforcement or backing plates for proper mounting.
9) How do you adjust latch alignment?
Most RCI strikes include adjustment mechanisms for proper latch alignment. Make small incremental adjustments while testing door operation. Proper alignment ensures smooth entry and secure locking. Consult installation instructions for specific adjustment procedures.
10) Are replacement parts available?
RCI provides replacement parts for their electric strikes through authorized distributors. Common service parts include keeper assemblies and solenoid components. Contact technical support with your model number for specific part availability.
