ROFU 1512-08 GRAY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ROFU 1512 electric strike accept a 5/8 inch latchbolt?
Yes. The 1512 keeper takes up to 5/8 inch of latch projection as installed, and up to 3/4 inch if you have 1/8 inch of door-to-frame clearance to work with. If your lockset throws more than that, this is not the strike for the opening.
2) What happens to the ROFU 1512 strike when the power goes out?
It stays locked. The 1512 is fail-secure, so the keeper holds the latch on power loss and the door remains secured from the outside. Egress still comes from turning the inside lever or knob, since the lock's own latch retraction is mechanical. If code or your security plan requires the door to release on power failure, you need a fail-safe strike instead.
3) Can the ROFU 1512 be installed in an aluminum storefront jamb, or is it only for hollow metal?
Both work. The 1512 uses a zinc/aluminum alloy faceplate suited to hollow metal, aluminum and wood frames, which covers storefront jambs, commercial HM frames and wood-framed interior openings alike.
4) What voltage options does the ROFU 1512 electric strike come in?
Three: 8-16 VAC / 3-6 VDC, 12 VAC/VDC, and 24 VAC/VDC. Pick the one that matches the power supply or transformer already feeding the access control panel. There is no field-selectable dual voltage here, so the coil is chosen at time of order.
5) I need a fire-rated electric strike. Can I use the ROFU 1512 on a fire door?
Look elsewhere for that opening. If the door assembly requires a labeled strike, fire-rated options ZenSupply carries include the Von Duprin 6210 for mortise locks, the Von Duprin 4211 for cylindrical locks, the Hager 2930, and the SDC 45F with its 5/8 inch latchbolt compatibility and radius corner faceplate.
6) My door has a rim exit device with a 3/4 inch pullman latch - will the ROFU 1512 work?
The ROFU 1512 is sized for latch projection up to 5/8 inch with a 3/4 inch keeper depth, which suits cylindrical and mortise latches rather than exit device pullman latches. For a rim exit device, the SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount strike built for a 3/4 inch pullman latchbolt in stainless steel, and the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike. Surface vertical rod devices take a different body again, such as the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 strike pac.
7) Does the ROFU 1512 report latch status to the access control panel, and what is the alternative if I need monitoring?
The ROFU 1512 is a fail-secure strike offered in 8-16 VAC/3-6 VDC, 12 VAC/VDC and 24 VAC/VDC, in side mount or front mount. If the job calls for latch status back to the panel, the Dortronics 3300 Series includes a latch bolt sensing switch with a 12/24VDC coil and a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches, the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a Grade 1 dual monitor strike supplied with eight faceplates.
8) What is a comparable fail-secure electric strike for a hollow metal frame if the opening needs a fire-rated strike?
The ROFU 1512 is a fail-secure electric strike for hollow metal, aluminum and wood frames. When the opening requires a fire-rated strike, the Von Duprin 6210 is a Grade 1 heavy duty, 24 VDC fail-secure strike for mortise locks that carries a UL 10C fire rating, and the Hager 2930 is a fire-rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24 VDC dual voltage. Confirm the lock type and latch throw at the door before selecting between them.
9) For a narrow aluminum storefront jamb, is the ROFU 1512 the right strike or is there a better-fitting option?
The ROFU 1512 uses a zinc/aluminum alloy faceplate measuring 4-7/16 by 1-5/8 by 1-5/32 inches and suits hollow metal, aluminum and wood frames. On a narrow aluminum storefront jamb where the prep is the standard 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inch cutout, the Adams Rite 7100 Series ships with a flat 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch faceplate for aluminum jambs, and the Adams Rite 7160 uses the same 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch faceplate. Measure the jamb face width before committing.
10) My latch is only 1/2 inch throw - is the ROFU 1512 still the right strike?
The ROFU 1512 allows up to 5/8 inch maximum latch projection with 1/8 inch door and frame clearance, so a shorter latch can sit shallow in the keeper. Where the lock throws 1/2 inch, the SDC 25 Series is built for 1/2 inch latchbolt compatibility, and the HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) strike body accepts 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts on one Grade 1 fire rated body.
11) What is the difference between the side mount and front mount versions of the ROFU 1512?
It is how the strike body sits in the frame prep. The 1512 is offered in Side Mount and Front Mount, and each is available across all three coil voltages. Confirm which way your existing cutout or new frame prep presents the strike before ordering, because the two are not interchangeable once the frame is cut.
12) Is there an option that avoids cutting the frame the way a standard strike install does?
The ROFU 1512 mounts in the frame as a side mount or front mount unit with a 4-7/16 by 1-5/8 by 1-5/32 inch faceplate, which means preparing the jamb to suit. Where cutting the frame is not practical, the Locknetics NC450 is built as a no cut electric strike, and the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated low profile universal strike supplied with four faceplates to cover varied existing preps.
13) What strike covers a pair of doors rather than the single opening the ROFU 1512 serves?
The ROFU 1512 is a single fail-secure strike with a 3/4 inch keeper depth for one leaf. For a pair, the Rockwood electric strike is built for double door applications with a 3/4 keeper and is a Grade 1 fire rated 310-1 Series unit. Confirm which leaf is active and how the inactive leaf is secured before ordering.
14) I have one frame prep and do not know which faceplate will cover it. What should I order?
The 1512 ships with a single faceplate configuration, chosen as Side Mount or Front Mount. When you are retrofitting unknown or varied cutouts across a building, a multi-faceplate kit is the safer buy: the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 comes with four faceplates and the CX-ED1799L-8 with eight.
