ROFU 1430 Fail Secure Electric Strike, Hollow Metal/Aluminum/Wood Frame

Yes, the 1430 is a handed strike, so right hand or left hand has to be called out on the order. Stand outside the opening: if the hinges are on your right it is a right hand door. Both hands are offered in every finish and voltage the 1430 comes in, so handing does not limit your other choices.

It stays locked. The 1430 is fail-secure, so the keeper holds the latch when power drops and the door remains secured from the outside. Free egress still comes from turning the inside lever or knob, since the lock's own latch retracts mechanically. If your opening needs to release on power loss instead, the Hager 2930 and Hager 2945 are field reversible between fail safe and fail secure.

The keeper depth is 5/8 inch, which is the maximum latch protection you get with 1/8 inch door-to-frame clearance. The keeper opening is 3/4 inch and sits 3/8 inch below the faceplate centerline. Standard 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch cylindrical or mortise latchbolts drop in; a 3/4 inch deadlatch throw is beyond what this keeper captures.

Hollow metal, aluminum, and wood frames all work. The faceplate is stainless steel and corrosion resistant, which is why it holds up in aluminum storefront jambs as well as in painted hollow metal. Aluminum-jamb-only alternatives like the Adams Rite 7100 and 7160 are narrower in application; the Adams Rite 7170 is the hollow metal and wood counterpart.

Use a strike that carries a fire label instead. For a labeled opening, ZenSupply stocks the Von Duprin 6400, rated 3-Hour UL 10C in fail-secure and Grade 1, the Von Duprin 4211 for cylindrical locks, and the Camden CX-ED1410/ED1420 universal Grade 1 fire-rated strikes. The Securitron MUNL is the fire-rated Grade 1 choice for mortise locks.

No. The 1430 is built for cylindrical and mortise locksets with a 5/8 inch keeper depth, not for a Pullman latch on a rim device. For rim exit hardware look at the SDC 30-4, a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt rim mount strike, or the Hager 2945 rim exit strike. For surface vertical rods, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 pac is the one built for that application.

The ROFU 1430 is a straight fail-secure strike without monitoring outputs. For monitored openings, the Dortronics 3300 Series includes a latch bolt sensing switch and uses a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, the same prep family as the 1430. The Hager 2945 is a fire-rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire-rated dual monitor Grade 1 strike supplied with eight faceplates for integrators covering varied preps.

The ROFU 1430 uses a 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch ANSI/BHMA A156.5 faceplate for cylindrical and mortise locksets. Adams Rite offers the 7170 electric strike for hollow metal and wood jambs with a 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate, and the 7100 Series for aluminum jambs with a flat 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate. Dortronics 3300 Series also ships a strike plate cut for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, with a latch bolt sensing switch and 12/24VDC operation. All three drop into the same jamb cutout family, so the choice comes down to frame material and whether you need latch monitoring.

The ROFU 1430 is a fail-secure strike for hollow metal, aluminum or wood frames. For a fire-rated opening, the Hager 2930 is a fire-rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage, and the Von Duprin 4211 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable voltage. The Camden CX-ED1410 and CX-ED1420 Series are fire-rated Grade 1 universal strikes if you want one part covering multiple preps. On a labeled door, a fire-rated strike is required, so one of these replaces the 1430 rather than supplementing it.

The ROFU 1430 is handed and you must specify right hand or left hand when ordering. If you would rather not commit to a hand, the Camden CX-ED1410 and CX-ED1420 Series are fire-rated Grade 1 universal strikes, and the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire-rated universal low profile strike that ships with four faceplates. The Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular strike that covers mortise or cylindrical locks in fail-secure operation. Universal and modular bodies are the usual answer when a property manager is stocking spares across a mix of openings.

For facilities standardizing on a Grade 1 strike, the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks in satin stainless steel with a 3-hour UL 10C fail-secure fire rating, and the Von Duprin 6210 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fail-secure strike for mortise locks at 24 VDC with a UL 10C fire rating. The Securitron MUNL Mortise UnLatch is another Grade 1 fire-rated mortise option. The ROFU 1430 is a commercial fail-secure strike for cylindrical and mortise locksets in hollow metal, aluminum or wood frames and is offered in 613 oil rubbed bronze, 605 bright brass and 630 satin stainless.

Three: 8-16 VAC / 3-6 VDC, 12 VAC/VDC, and 24 VAC/VDC. Pick the one that matches the power supply or access control board already on the job, because voltage is fixed at the time of order on the 1430, not field selectable. All three are available in each finish and both hands.

The ROFU 1430 is a commercial fail-secure strike with a stainless steel corrosion-resistant faceplate. For a lighter application, the Trine 001 Series is a fail-secure light commercial strike with a 5-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch faceplate, the SDC 15 Series is a value strike for 5/8 inch latchbolts with 12/24 VDC operation, and the RCI 15BS is an economy fail-secure strike for special offset latch entry. Note the Trine 001 and SDC 15 faceplates are not the 4-7/8 inch ANSI plate the 1430 uses, so the jamb prep differs.

The ROFU 1430 is prepped for cylindrical and mortise locksets in hollow metal, aluminum or wood frames. Several strikes in the same family are built for different latches: the SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete strike pac for surface vertical rods, and the Camden CX-ED1959 Series is an outdoor rated gate strike. The Rockwood ESK-DBL is a double door strike with a 3/4 keeper. None of those substitute for a standard cylindrical or mortise latch prep.

The ROFU 1430 fits the A115.1 cutout with slight jamb modification. If cutting the existing frame is not an option, the Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike. For heavier traffic where you are already opening the frame, the Locknetics MDS100 and MS100 are heavy duty strikes, and the Alarm Controls AES-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike.

The ROFU 1430 is offered in 8-16 VAC/3-6 VDC, 12 VAC/VDC and 24 VAC/VDC builds, so a 24VAC supply is covered directly. Among comparable strikes, the Trine 2001 runs 16-24VAC/DC with a 5-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw, the Von Duprin 6210 is 24 VDC fail-secure, and the Hager 2930 and Von Duprin 4211 32D are 12/24VDC dual or field-selectable voltage.

Three finishes: 630 satin stainless steel, 605 bright brass, and 613 oil rubbed bronze. For a building standardized on satin chrome or brushed lock trim, 630 is the usual match; 613 reads dark to suit bronze storefront and lever sets.

It is a commercial product, built to the ANSI/BHMA A156.5 4-7/8 inch faceplate standard used on institutional and multi-family openings. For a heavier traffic opening where you want a stated Grade 1 heavy duty strike, the Alarm Controls AES-100 and the Locknetics MDS100 are the heavy duty options in the same category.
