Trine 4100DBL-32D-RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Trine 4100DBL electric strike work on a door with both a latchbolt and a deadbolt?
That's exactly what the 4100DBL is built for. It carries two independently activated latches, top and bottom, each unlocked by its own mechanism, so a deadbolt and a latchbolt can be released separately or together. Each solenoid is wired individually, and if you want both latches to release at once you draw twice the listed current. The strike handles either mortise or cylindrical lock configurations.
2) Does the Trine 4100DBL fit a standard ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike prep?
Yes. The faceplate is 4-7/8" x 1-1/4", which is the standard ANSI A156.5 frame cutout, so it drops into an existing ANSI prep without enlarging the mortise. Four faceplates ship with it, covering the most common mortise lock configurations plus the open plates, so you can match what the lock in the door actually needs.
3) Is the Trine 4100DBL fire rated for a 3 hour opening?
Class A, 3 hour fire rated in a single door and frame configuration, and WH recognized for UL10C fire tests of door assemblies. It also meets UBC 7-2, CAN4 S104 and NFPA 252 (1999). One thing that trips people up on fire doors: the WH fire listing is void if you order the fail-safe version. On a rated opening, specify fail-secure.
4) Do I need to specify handing when ordering a Trine 4100DBL electric strike?
Yes, handing is an ordering choice: left hand or right hand. Get it from the door itself before ordering, not from the old strike. You also pick fail-safe or fail-secure, whether you want the dual relay option, and one of six finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 629 bright stainless and 630 satin stainless.
5) Is the Trine 4100DBL strong enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is a Grade 1 strike with heavy duty construction, rated over 1,000,000 life cycles and more than 3,250 lbs holding force, and it is a commercial product rather than residential. That holding force is what matters on an entrance someone will pull hard on. A UL 1034 burglary resistance listing is in progress rather than in place, so do not spec it against a burglary requirement today.
6) Can I use a Trine 4100DBL on an exterior gate or an outdoor door?
No. The 4100DBL is not outdoor rated, so keep it on interior openings or fully weather-protected entries. For an exposed gate, the Camden CX-ED1959 Series is built as an outdoor rated electric gate strike. Bear in mind the Camden is not fire rated, so it is a gate and exterior answer, not a rated door answer.
7) Should I order the Trine 4100DBL fail-safe or fail-secure?
Fail-secure keeps the door locked when power drops and is the default on most access controlled entries; fail-safe releases on power loss and is used where egress or a fire alarm interface requires the door to unlock. The deciding factor here is the rating: the WH fire listing is void when the strike is set up fail-safe. On a fire rated opening, order fail-secure.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 fire rated electric strike to the Trine 4100DBL for a mortise or cylindrical lock opening?
The Von Duprin 6400 in 32D satin stainless is a Grade 1 modular electric strike for mortise or cylindrical locks with a 3-hour UL 10C fire rating in fail-secure, which covers the same lock types the 4100DBL handles. The Hager 2930 is another Grade 1 fire rated strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage, matching the 4100DBL's 12/24 VAC/DC supply range. The difference to weigh is that the 4100DBL carries two independently activated latches with separate unlocking mechanisms, while the 6400 and the 2930 each release a single keeper.
9) My opening is an aluminum storefront jamb. Will the Trine 4100DBL work, or is there a better electric strike?
The 4100DBL is prepped to ANSI A156.5 for a 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch faceplate, which is a hollow metal and wood frame prep, not a narrow aluminum stile. For aluminum jambs the Adams Rite 7100 with a flat faceplate and the Adams Rite 7160 are both built for aluminum jambs and both use the same 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate dimension. The trade-off is fire rating: the 4100DBL is fire rated, while the 7100 and 7160 are not. If the aluminum opening is a fire rated assembly, neither Adams Rite unit answers it.
10) I only need to release one latch, not a deadbolt and latch together. What electric strike should I use instead of the Trine 4100DBL?
A single keeper strike is the straightforward path. The Von Duprin 4211 in 32D is a heavy duty Grade 1 fire rated strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable voltage, and the Von Duprin 6210 is a heavy duty Grade 1 strike for mortise locks running 24 VDC fail-secure with a UL 10C fire rating. The Securitron MUNL Mortise UnLatch is a further Grade 1 fire rated option on the mortise side. The 4100DBL is built around two independently activated latches, so it is the answer only when the opening actually has a deadbolt and a latch to release separately.
11) Is the Rockwood double door electric strike the same thing as the Trine 4100DBL?
No. The Rockwood ESK-DBL is a Grade 1 fire rated electric strike in the 310-1 series built for a double door with a 3/4 inch keeper. It addresses a pair of leaves. The Trine 4100DBL addresses a single opening that has both a deadbolt and a latch, releasing top and bottom latches on separate mechanisms, and its faceplate is the 4-7/8 inch ANSI prep. The word double in the two names describes different problems, so confirm whether the opening is two leaves or one leaf with two bolts before ordering either.
12) I need a fail-safe electric strike on a fire rated door. Does the Trine 4100DBL still qualify, or should I look at something else?
The 4100DBL is offered in both fail-safe and fail-secure, but its WH fire listing is void when using fail safe action. If the opening is a fire rated assembly and the design calls for fail-safe, look at the Hager 2930, a fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with field reversible fail safe/secure operation, or the Hager 2945, a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor. The Hager 2925 and 2928 also offer field reversible fail safe/secure operation.
13) Which electric strikes work with surface vertical rod or rim exit devices rather than the Trine 4100DBL?
The 4100DBL is built for mortise or cylindrical lock openings, so an exit device opening needs a different body. The HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete electric strike pac for surface vertical rods and is a Grade 1 unit. The SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt in stainless steel construction, and the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor. Match the strike to the device's latch type before ordering.
14) What voltage does the Trine 4100DBL run on, and will it be silent?
It takes 12 or 24 VDC and 12 through 24 VAC off the same unit. On DC it runs silent and is rated for intermittent or continuous duty at 0.240 A (12VDC) or 0.114 A (24VDC). On AC it buzzes and is intermittent duty only, drawing 0.210 A at 12AC, 0.280 A at 16AC and 0.420 A at 24AC. If the strike sits on an office door where noise matters, wire it DC.
15) How do I wire a Trine 4100DBL if I cut the connector off?
Direct-wired, red is common. Blue accepts 12VDC and 12 to 16VAC; brown accepts 24VDC. That matches the coil pairs listed as Blue/Red for the 12V and AC taps and Brown/Red for 24VDC. Remember there are two solenoids in the dual latch unit, so you have two sets to land if you want independent control of each latch.
16) What does the dual relay option on the Trine 4100DBL actually do for me?
The 4100DBL has two solenoids, one per latch, and the dual relay option is what lets your access control fire them separately. Order it if you want the deadbolt and the latchbolt released on different signals, for example retracting only the latchbolt for daytime traffic while the deadbolt stays thrown. Skip it if both latches will always release together on one signal.
17) Which electric strikes besides the Trine 4100DBL ship with multiple faceplates so I can standardize across mixed frame preps?
The 4100DBL includes four faceplates covering the most used mortise lock configurations plus the open plates. On the same approach, the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated universal low profile strike supplied with four faceplates, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated Grade 1 dual monitor strike supplied with eight. For an MRO buyer stocking one strike across a building with varied preps, the CX-ED1799L-8 carries the widest plate assortment of the three, while the 4100DBL is the one that also releases two latches independently.
18) The access control panel needs latch position feedback. What electric strike should I specify instead of the Trine 4100DBL?
The 4100DBL is offered with a dual relay option, but if the requirement is a latch bolt sensor, the Dortronics 3300 is an electric strike with a latch bolt sensing switch running 12/24VDC on a strike plate for the ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, so it drops into the same frame cutout the 4100DBL uses. The Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated Grade 1 dual monitor strike, and the Hager 2945 pairs a latchbolt monitor with a fire rated rim exit strike.
19) What is a simpler electric strike for a standard 5/8 inch latchbolt where the Trine 4100DBL's dual latch design is more than the door needs?
For a plain latchbolt release, the SDC 15 Series is a value electric strike for a 5/8 inch latchbolt with 12/24 VDC operation, and the SDC 45F Series is a fire rated strike for a 5/8 inch latchbolt with a radius corner faceplate if the frame prep is radiused. The Hager 2925 handles a 5/8 inch latch with field reversible fail safe/secure operation. The 4100DBL is the choice when a deadbolt and a latch both have to release; on a door with a single 5/8 inch latch, these cover the opening with one keeper.
20) The frame is already cut and I do not want to modify it. Is there an alternative to the Trine 4100DBL?
The Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike, which is the direction to go when the existing frame prep must stay as it is. The Locknetics MDS100 and MS100, both in US32D, are heavy duty strikes on the same brand's line. The 4100DBL is cut for the ANSI A156.5 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch prep, so it fits a frame already machined to that standard but expects that prep to be present.
21) The latchbolt throw on my lock is 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch rather than the common size. Does the Trine 4100DBL cover it or is there a better match?
When the throw is the deciding dimension, the HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) is an electric strike body offered for 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts and is Grade 1 and fire rated, which spans the range in one part number family. The SDC 25 Series is a value strike for 1/2 inch latchbolt compatibility. The Trine 4100DBL is the unit to keep on the table when the opening has a deadbolt plus a latch that must release on separate mechanisms.
22) I am running the strike off PoE. Which Grade 1 strikes compare to the Trine 4100DBL on power?
The 4100DBL draws 0.240 A at 12DC per solenoid, which makes it PoE friendly, and it accepts 12 and 24DC as well as 12 through 24 AC. Note that each solenoid is powered individually, so releasing both latches at once needs twice the amperage. Among Grade 1 peers, the Von Duprin 4211 in 32D is 12/24 VDC field-selectable and the Hager 2930 is 12/24VDC dual voltage, so both sit in the same low voltage window for a panel-powered install.
23) What Grade 1 heavy duty electric strikes should I cross-shop against the Trine 4100DBL for a high traffic commercial entrance?
The 4100DBL is a Grade 1 strike rated for 1,000,000 plus life cycles with 3,250 plus lbs holding force and is a commercial product. On the Grade 1 heavy duty side, the Alarm Controls AES-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike, the Von Duprin 4211 in 32D and the Von Duprin 6210 are both Grade 1 heavy duty and fire rated, and the Camden CX-ED1410/ED1420 is a universal Grade 1 ANSI fire rated strike. All belong in the same conversation for a busy opening; the 4100DBL separates itself by handling a deadbolt and a latch on independent mechanisms.
24) I need to standardize strike finishes across a building. What finishes does the Trine 4100DBL come in?
Six BHMA finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel. For most commercial work the match is 630 satin stainless, since that is what the bulk of Grade 1 lever and mortise trim is specified in. Pick the finish per opening and the handing per opening; both are ordering choices on the strike.
25) Does the Trine 4100DBL come in the same finishes as the stainless electric strikes I already have installed?
The 4100DBL is available in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel, in both left hand and right hand. Among the peers, the Von Duprin 6400 is offered in 32D satin stainless steel and the Locknetics MDS100, MS100 and CS450 are US32D, so a 630 satin stainless 4100DBL sits alongside those without a visible break in the frame line.
