Trine 3478F-24DC-32D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the 3478F work with a mortise lock or only cylindrical?
Cylindrical locksets only. The 3478F keeper is built for the latchbolt of a cylindrical lock, so if the door carries a mortise lock with a deadlatch and auxiliary bolt you need a different strike. For mortise openings, the Von Duprin 6210 or the 6400 Series covers it, and the Hager 2930 is a fire rated Grade 1 strike listed for both cylindrical and mortise locks.
2) Can I use a fail safe electric strike on a fire rated door?
Not this one. The 3478F carries the Warnock Hersey fire listing in fail secure only, and Trine states outright that the WH listing is void when the unit is set to fail safe action. On a labeled fire door opening, order the fail secure version, which is offered in 12 VDC and 24 VDC in both 630 satin stainless and dark bronze powder coat. Fail safe on this strike is for non-rated openings where the door has to release on power loss.
3) What fire rating does the Trine 3478F electric strike carry?
Class A, 3 hour, on a single door and frame configuration. It is Warnock Hersey recognized to UL10C Fire Tests of Door Assemblies, and also covered under UBC 7-2, CAN4 S104, and NFPA 252 (1999 issue). That combination is what a facility inspector looks for on a labeled opening. The rating holds on the fail secure configuration only.
4) Can I install a Trine 3478F strike on an exterior gate or an outdoor door?
No. Trine states the 3478F is not for outdoor use, and our spec record lists it as not outdoor rated. For a gate or an exposed opening, the Camden CX-ED1959 Series is built as an outdoor rated electric gate strike. Note that the Camden gate strike is not fire rated, which is not a problem outdoors but rules it out for a labeled interior opening.
5) Is the Trine 3478F 12 volt or 24 volt, and do I pick that when I order?
You pick it at order time, and it is not field changeable on this model. The 3478F ships as either 12 VDC or 24 VDC, both available in 630 satin stainless and dark bronze powder coat, fail safe or fail secure. Match it to whatever your access control power supply puts out. If you would rather stock one part that covers both, the Von Duprin 4211 is a cylindrical lock strike with field selectable 12/24 VDC, and the Dortronics 3300 Series runs 12/24 VDC on the same 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch ANSI prep.
6) I need a fire rated electric strike but my frame is an aluminum storefront jamb. Will the 3478F work?
No. The 3478F is cut for the 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch ANSI prep in hollow metal or wood frames and works with cylindrical locksets, which is not what an aluminum storefront jamb with a narrow stile door carries. For aluminum jambs, look at the Adams Rite 7100, 7160, or 7170, all with a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch faceplate. Be aware those three are not fire rated, so if the opening is labeled you need the Adams Rite 7240, which is fire rated for cylindrical locksets.
7) What is a direct equivalent to the Trine 3478F fire rated electric strike for a cylindrical lock in a 4-7/8 inch ANSI frame prep?
The Von Duprin 4211 32D is the closest straight equivalent: it is a Grade 1, heavy duty, fire rated electric strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable voltage. The Trine 3478F covers the same opening - fire rated, cylindrical lock type, 4-7/8 inch faceplate, BHMA Grade 1 heavy duty, offered in 12 VDC and 24 VDC. The difference in ordering is that the 4211 selects voltage in the field while the 3478F is ordered as a 12 VDC or 24 VDC unit.
8) My opening has a surface vertical rod or rim exit device, not a cylindrical lockset - what replaces the Trine 3478F there?
The Trine 3478F is a cylindrical lock strike. For surface vertical rods, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete Grade 1 electric strike pac built for surface vertical rods. For a rim exit device, the SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount electric strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt in stainless steel construction, and the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike. Note the HES 310-4-2 is not fire rated.
9) I need a fire rated electric strike that works with a mortise lock, not a cylindrical one - what should I use instead of the Trine 3478F?
The Trine 3478F is built for cylindrical locks. For a mortise lock on a fire rated opening, the Von Duprin 6210 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike for mortise locks, 24 VDC fail-secure, UL 10C fire rated. The Hager 2930 is a fire rated Grade 1 strike that covers both cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24 VDC dual voltage, and the Securitron MUNL is a Grade 1 fire rated mortise unlatch strike. The Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular strike that handles mortise or cylindrical locks with a 3-hour UL 10C rating in fail-secure.
10) The Trine 3478F is fail safe on my order and my inspector flagged the fire door - what fire rated strike can I run fail safe instead?
On the Trine 3478F the fail safe action voids the WH fire listing, so a fail safe 3478F is not the part for a rated opening. Fire rated peers that are ordered or set for fail safe include the Hager 2930, a fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with field reversible fail safe/fail secure operation, and the Hager 2945, a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor. Note that the Von Duprin 6400 32D states its 3-hour UL 10C rating for the fail-secure configuration.
11) Which electric strikes look like a substitute for the Trine 3478F but are not fire rated?
Several strikes share the same 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch faceplate footprint or a similar cylindrical application but do not carry a fire rating: the Adams Rite 7170 for hollow metal and wood jambs with a 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch faceplate, the Adams Rite 7100 and 7160 for aluminum jambs, and the RCI 15BS economy fail-secure strike. The Camden CX-ED1959 gate strike is outdoor rated but not fire rated. If the opening is a rated fire door, the Trine 3478F is the one carrying the Class A 3 hour fire rating and WH recognition for UL10C.
12) I have to standardize fire rated electric strikes across a building with mixed frame preps - is the Trine 3478F the right pick or is there a universal option?
The Trine 3478F is deliberately single-faceplate: the series streamlines the heavy duty 3000 fire rated line down to one faceplate, the 4-7/8 inch ANSI, with 1/8 inch horizontal adjustment on the 478 faceplate. If the preps vary across the building, the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated universal low profile strike supplied with 4 faceplates, the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated dual monitor Grade 1 strike with 8 faceplates, and the Camden CX-ED1410 and CX-ED1420 are universal Grade 1 ANSI fire-rated strikes. Where the openings are already 4-7/8 inch ANSI prepped, the 3478F standardizes on the one plate.
13) I am replacing a pair of doors with an existing strike and cannot recut the frame - what are the alternatives to the Trine 3478F?
The Trine 3478F installs to the 4-7/8 inch ANSI prep with published wood and metal frame preps. Where cutting the frame is the problem, the Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike. For a double door application, the Rockwood electric strike for double doors with a 3/4 keeper is a Grade 1 fire rated unit in the 310-1 series. The HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) is a Grade 1 fire rated strike body that accommodates 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts.
14) My cylindrical lockset has a 1/2 inch latchbolt - is the Trine 3478F the right strike or do I need a different one?
Latchbolt throw drives this choice. The SDC 25 Series is a value electric strike built for 1/2 inch latchbolt compatibility, and the HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) is a Grade 1 fire rated strike body that accepts 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts. For 5/8 inch latchbolts, the Adams Rite 7240 is a fire-rated strike for cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch latchbolt projection, the Hager 2925 is a strike with a 5/8 inch latch and field reversible fail safe/secure operation, and the SDC 45F is fire-rated for a 5/8 inch latchbolt.
15) Is the Trine 3478F heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is BHMA Grade 1 heavy duty with all solid stainless construction, which is the grade specified for main entrances, stairwells, and other doors that get cycled hard all day. Grade 1 is the top of the BHMA scale for this class of hardware. If you are standardizing a building and want other Grade 1 heavy duty options on record, the Alarm Controls AES-100, the Von Duprin 4211, and the Securitron MUNL are all Grade 1.
16) What finishes does the Trine 3478F electric strike come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
Two: 630 satin stainless steel, and DKBZ dark bronze powder coat. Both are offered across every voltage and both fail safe and fail secure, so the finish choice does not restrict anything else. 630 is the standard commercial satin stainless that matches most levers, closers, and exit devices in a modern building; dark bronze is the one to order when the frames and trim on the rest of the openings are bronze.
17) What is the difference between the Trine 3478F and the LC and RS versions?
The base 3478F is ordered as 3478F-12DC or 3478F-24DC, straight DC strikes at your chosen voltage. The 3478F-LC includes an LC100 latch monitor. The 3478F-RS also includes the LC100, but it is the fail safe action, and Trine notes the fail safe version is not fire rated. So if you need to know electrically whether the door is latched, go LC; if you need release on power loss and the opening is not a labeled fire door, RS.
18) Is there a simpler fire rated electric strike than the Trine 3478F if I do not need a heavy duty Grade 1 unit?
The SDC 45F Series is a fire-rated electric strike for 5/8 inch latchbolts with a radius corner faceplate, and the SDC 15 Series is a value strike for a 5/8 inch latchbolt with 12/24 VDC operation. The Trine 3478F takes the other approach: BHMA Grade 1 heavy duty, all solid stainless construction, one 4-7/8 inch ANSI faceplate, and 12 VDC or 24 VDC ordered as separate units.
19) I need latch bolt monitoring on the door - can the Trine 3478F do that or should I use another strike?
For monitoring, the Dortronics 3300 Series is an electric strike with a latch bolt sensing switch, 12/24 VDC, and a strike plate for the same ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch, so it drops into the same frame cut as the Trine 3478F. 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. The 3478F itself is ordered by voltage and fail safe or fail secure action in 630 satin stainless or dark bronze powder coat.
20) What other Grade 1 heavy duty electric strikes are there besides the Trine 3478F?
The Trine 3478F is BHMA Grade 1 heavy duty with all solid stainless construction. Other Grade 1 heavy duty strikes include the Alarm Controls AES-100, the Von Duprin 4211 32D for cylindrical locks, the Von Duprin 6210 for mortise locks, and the Von Duprin 6400 32D modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks. The Locknetics MDS100 US32D and MS100 US32D are also heavy duty units. Among these, the 3478F, the 4211, the 6210 and the 6400 are the fire rated choices.
21) Is the Trine 3478F strike rated for commercial use or is it a residential product?
Commercial. The 3478F is a BHMA Grade 1 heavy duty, all stainless electric strike carrying a 3 hour Class A fire listing, which is specification-grade hardware for office, institutional, and multi-family common area openings rather than anything residential.
