ROFU 3450-09 US10B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What frame materials can the ROFU 3450 strike be installed in?
Hollow metal, aluminum, and wood frames all work. The faceplate is stainless steel and corrosion resistant, which is what lets it go into an exterior aluminum storefront jamb as well as an interior wood frame.
2) What does fail-safe mean on the ROFU 3450, and when should I use fail-secure instead?
Fail-safe means the 3450 unlocks when power is removed, so the door releases on a power loss or fire alarm signal. That is what you want on an egress-critical opening tied into the alarm system. If you need the door to stay locked when power drops, such as an exterior entry or a stockroom, use a fail-secure strike instead. Some peers are field selectable either way, such as the Hager 2925, which is field reversible fail safe/secure.
3) Will the ROFU 3450 work with my cylindrical lockset, or only a mortise lock?
Both. The 3450 is built to the A156.5 strike standard for use with cylindrical and mortise locksets. Keeper depth is 5/8 inch, giving maximum latch protection with 1/8 inch door-to-frame clearance, and the 3/4 inch keeper opening starts at the center line. If your latchbolt throw exceeds that keeper depth, look at a deeper-keeper body such as the HES Folger Adam 310-1(X), which covers 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts.
4) Can I use the ROFU 3450 on a fire rated door?
Fail-safe strikes unlock on power loss, which is the opposite of what a fire door assembly requires, so the 3450 is not the part for a labeled fire door. For those openings use a fire rated strike such as the Von Duprin 4211 (Grade 1, fire rated, for cylindrical locks), the Hager 2930 fire rated Grade 1 for cylindrical and mortise locks, or the Adams Rite 7240 fire rated strike for cylindrical locksets.
5) My opening is an aluminum storefront jamb - is the ROFU 3450 the right strike or is there a better fit?
The ROFU 3450 has a stainless steel corrosion-resistant faceplate suitable for hollow metal, aluminum or wood frames and fits the A115.1 cutout with slight jamb modification. If you want a strike purpose-built for aluminum jambs, the Adams Rite 7100 Series is made for aluminum jambs with a flat 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch faceplate, and the Adams Rite 7160 uses the same 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch faceplate for aluminum jambs. For hollow metal and wood jambs specifically, the Adams Rite 7170 carries that same faceplate size.
6) I need a Grade 1 heavy duty strike - does the ROFU 3450 qualify or should I look at another model?
If your spec calls out Grade 1 heavy duty explicitly, the Alarm Controls AES-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike, the Von Duprin 4211 32D is Grade 1 heavy duty and fire rated for cylindrical locks, and the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks with a 3-hour UL 10C rating in fail-secure mode. The Locknetics MDS100 and MS100 are also heavy duty strikes. The ROFU 3450 is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.5 with a stainless corrosion-resistant faceplate and fail-safe operation.
7) Can I use the ROFU 3450 on a rim exit device or vertical rod door?
No. The ROFU 3450 is built for cylindrical and mortise locksets with a 5/8 inch maximum keeper depth and a 3/4 inch keeper opening. For a rim exit device, the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and latchbolt monitoring, and the SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount strike for 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolts in stainless steel. For surface vertical rods, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete electric strike pac built for that application.
8) My power supply is AC, not DC - can I still use the ROFU 3450?
The ROFU 3450 is supplied in 12 VDC and 24 VDC. If your source is AC, the Trine 004 runs on 8-16VAC as a fail-secure strike with a 6-1/4 inch x 1-3/8 inch faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw, and the Trine 2001 runs 16-24VAC/DC fail secure with a 5-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw. Both are fire rated and both differ from the 3450 in faceplate size, so the frame prep will not carry over directly.
9) Does the ROFU 3450 electric strike need to be ordered handed?
No handing to specify. The 3450 is reversible and non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand openings. That makes it easier to stock as a spare across a building where the doors swing both ways.
10) Can the ROFU 3450 be adjusted after installation if the latch does not seat cleanly?
Yes. The 3450 has a horizontal adjustment that is fully tamper proof, so an installer can dial in the keeper alignment to the latch without leaving an exposed screw on the secure side of the opening. That helps on aluminum storefront jambs where the door sits slightly off after hanging.
11) Does the ROFU 3450 have a latch monitor or door position output?
The 3450 is a straightforward fail-safe release with tamper proof horizontal adjustment; monitoring is not part of it. If your access control head end needs latchbolt status back, look at a monitored strike such as the Dortronics 3300 Series with latch bolt sensing switch, the Hager 2945 with latchbolt monitor, or the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 dual monitor Grade 1 strike.
12) Is there an equivalent to the ROFU 3450 that also reports whether the latch is secured?
The ROFU 3450 provides tamper proof horizontal adjustment and reversible non-handed operation, but monitoring is a separate feature set. The Dortronics 3300 Series includes a latch bolt sensing switch, runs 12/24VDC, and uses a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch, which matches the 3450 faceplate dimensions. For two monitoring outputs, the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated dual monitor Grade 1 electric strike supplied with eight faceplates.
13) The ROFU 3450 needs jamb modification - is there a strike that avoids cutting the frame?
The ROFU 3450 fits the A115.1 cutout specification with slight jamb modification. If you want to avoid frame work, the Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike. The Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated universal low profile strike supplied with four faceplates, and the Camden CX-ED1410/CX-ED1420 Series are universal Grade 1 ANSI fire-rated strikes, so the multiple faceplate options can help match an existing prep.
14) Is the ROFU 3450 a good choice for a pair of doors?
The ROFU 3450 is a single reversible non-handed strike for cylindrical and mortise locksets. For a double door application, the Rockwood double door electric strike is a Grade 1 fire rated unit in the 310-1 Series with a 3/4 keeper. The Securitron MUNL Mortise UnLatch is a Grade 1 fire rated option when the inactive leaf carries a mortise lock.
15) I need a decorative finish to match existing hardware - how does the ROFU 3450 compare to other strikes on finish choice?
The ROFU 3450 is offered in 613 oil rubbed bronze, 605 bright brass, and 630 satin stainless steel, each in 12 VDC or 24 VDC. Several comparable strikes are built around satin stainless only, including the Locknetics CS450-32D, MDS100 US32D, MS100 US32D and NC450 US32D, and the Von Duprin 6400 32D in satin stainless steel. If the opening needs bronze or brass to match surrounding trim, the 3450 covers that range.
16) Is the ROFU 3450 rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential strike?
Commercial. The 3450 is classified as a commercial electric strike and is built to the A156.5 commercial strike standard with a stainless steel faceplate, which is the spec level a property manager or MRO buyer standardizes on across office, multi-family, or institutional doors.
