Trine EN400RP-24DC-32D-RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Trine EN400RP electric strike work on an exterior gate with a rim panic device?
That is exactly what the EN400RP is built for. It carries a UL 1034 Indoor/Outdoor Burglary Resistant listing, so it can be mounted outside on wood or metal gates, and it works with rim panic exit devices with up to a 1 inch throw based on a 1/8 inch gate gap. For gate frames with nothing to mortise into, pair it with the EN400-GATEBOX weldable box so the strike can be mounted anywhere on the frame.
2) Is the Trine EN400RP fire rated?
Yes, the EN400RP is a fire rated strike. It is also UL 1034 listed for burglary resistance indoors and out, UL 294 (6th Edition) listed for access control, and carries NYC MEA 79-01-E approval, which matters if you are specifying into a New York City building.
3) Do I have to order the Trine EN400RP left hand or right hand, and can it be changed on site?
Handing is an ordering choice, left hand or right hand, but it is field reversible on the EN400RP, so a strike that arrives in the wrong hand can be flipped at the opening rather than returned. Fail safe and fail secure is also field reversible on the DC units.
4) Should I order the EN400RP fail-safe or fail-secure for a gate?
Order the mode your egress and access plan calls for: fail-secure keeps the gate locked when power drops, fail-safe releases it. On DC units the setting is field reversible, so 12VDC and 24VDC orders can be changed on site. AC units are not reversible in the field, so pick the right mode up front if you are running 12VAC or 24VAC. One more practical difference: the AC coils buzz and are rated for intermittent duty only, while the DC coils run silent and are rated intermittent or continuous. On a gate with a keypad or intercom that holds the strike energized, go DC.
5) Do I need to order the gate box with the Trine EN400RP strike?
The gate box is a required selection when ordering, with three choices: not included, the EN400-GATEBOX unfinished, or the EN400-GATEBOX-AL in an aluminum finish. If you are welding into a steel gate frame, take the unfinished box. If the strike is going into an aluminum gate, the AL version matches. Skip it only when you already have a prepped jamb to mount into.
6) Which electric strikes look like substitutes for the Trine EN400RP but will not work with a rim exit device?
Several fire rated Grade 1 strikes share the general description but are cut for latchbolts rather than the pullman latch of a rim panic. The Von Duprin 4211 is an electric strike for cylindrical locks, the Von Duprin 6210 is for mortise locks, and the Von Duprin 6400 is a modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks. The Adams Rite 7240 is a fire rated strike for cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch latchbolt projection, and the Securitron MUNL is a mortise unlatch strike. The EN400RP is specified for rim panic exit devices with up to 1 inch throw, so lock-type strikes are not interchangeable with it.
7) Is there another outdoor rated gate electric strike besides the Trine EN400RP?
The Camden CX-ED1959 Series is an outdoor rated electric gate strike, so it addresses the same exterior gate application. The difference that decides it for many jobs: the Camden CX-ED1959 is not fire rated, while the EN400RP is fire rated and outdoor rated. If the gate opening is part of a fire rated egress path, that distinction is the one to confirm before ordering.
8) What can I use instead of the Trine EN400RP if the opening is an aluminum storefront jamb rather than a gate?
The EN400RP is built for rim exit devices on exterior doors and gates, mounted in wood or metal gates with the EN400-Gatebox. For an aluminum jamb, the Adams Rite 7100 Series electric strike is made for aluminum jambs and uses the same 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch flat faceplate footprint, and the Adams Rite 7160 is also an aluminum jamb strike with a 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate. Note that both Adams Rite units are non fire rated, while the EN400RP carries a fire rating.
9) The door has a rim exit device but it is an interior fire rated opening, not a gate. What is the closer match to the Trine EN400RP?
The EN400RP is a fire rated strike for rim exit devices, and its outdoor rating is what sets it apart for gates and exterior frames. For an interior fire rated rim exit opening, the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure operation and a latchbolt monitor. The EN400RP also offers fail safe and fail secure, ordered as a selectable option on DC units, so the switchable behavior carries over between the two.
10) For a pair of doors with surface vertical rod exit devices, is the Trine EN400RP the right strike?
No. The EN400RP is for rim panic exit devices. For surface vertical rods, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete electric strike pac for surface vertical rods, and the Rockwood double door electric strike with a 3/4 keeper is a Grade 1 fire rated 310-1 Series unit for double doors. Note that the HES 310-4-2 is not fire rated, while the Rockwood double door strike is.
11) What voltage and current does the Trine EN400RP draw so I can size the power supply?
Four voltages are offered and each draws differently: 12VAC at 0.700A (4.5 ohms), 24VAC at 0.370A (18 ohms), 12VDC at 0.280A (43 ohms), and 24VDC at 0.150A (164 ohms). The 24VDC version pulls the least current, which is why it is the usual pick on long gate runs and on PoE-powered access control panels.
12) Is the EN400RP strong enough for a high traffic exterior gate?
It is a Grade 1 strike, UL tested past 2,000 lbs of static strength and rated for over 1,000,000 cycles. The locking mechanism is one piece driven by a single solenoid, so there are fewer moving parts to fail on an opening that cycles all day in the weather.
13) What is the difference between the Trine EN400RP and the EN800 or EN850 outdoor rim strikes?
The EN400RP is the gate version: it is meant for wood or metal gates and mounts anywhere on the frame with the EN400-GATEBOX. If your opening is a conventional door frame rather than a gate, Trine points you to the EN800 (3/4 inch thick) or the EN850 (1/2 inch thick) instead, which are the more traditional outdoor-rated rim panic strikes. Pick by frame depth on a standard frame, pick the EN400RP when there is no frame to mortise into.
14) I need a fire rated strike for an interior rim exit device, not a gate. What should I use instead of the EN400RP?
The EN400RP's advantage is its outdoor rating, and you pay for weather capability you do not need indoors. For an interior rim exit device the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor built in. The SDC 30-4 is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt in stainless. If you need latchbolt monitoring specifically, the EN400RP data does not carry it, so the Hager 2945 or the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 dual monitor Grade 1 are the ones to look at.
15) Can the Trine EN400RP run off a PoE access control panel?
Trine flags the EN Series as PoE friendly, and the numbers back it: the 24VDC version draws 0.150A and the 12VDC draws 0.280A, both silent and rated for intermittent or continuous duty. The AC versions draw much more (0.700A at 12VAC) and are intermittent duty only, so they are not the choice behind a PoE-powered controller.
16) Which other rim mount electric strike takes a pullman latch like the Trine EN400RP?
The SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount electric strike for a 3/4 inch pullman latchbolt with stainless steel construction, so it addresses the same rim panic latch geometry. The EN400RP is rated for a rim panic latch with up to 1 inch throw based on a 1/8 inch gate gap, so measure the actual latch projection on the exit device before choosing between them.
17) I need a Grade 1 fire rated strike that fits several different frame preps across a facility. How does that compare to the Trine EN400RP?
For standardizing across mixed preps, the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated universal low profile strike supplied with 4 faceplates, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated dual monitor Grade 1 strike supplied with 8 faceplates. The Camden CX-ED1410 and CX-ED1420 Series are universal Grade 1 ANSI fire rated strikes as well. The EN400RP is a Grade 1 fire rated strike with a fixed 4-7/8 inch faceplate, and it is the one in this group carrying an outdoor rating for gates and exterior frames.
18) Is there a simpler or lower cost electric strike option than the Trine EN400RP for an interior door?
For interior latchbolt openings, the SDC 15 Series is a value strike for a 5/8 inch latchbolt with 12/24 VDC operation, and the SDC 25 Series is a value strike for 1/2 inch latchbolt compatibility. The RCI 15BS is an economy strike for a special offset latch entry with fail secure operation only, and it is not fire rated. None of these are rim exit strikes, so they suit a door with a cylindrical or offset latch rather than the rim panic and gate application the EN400RP is built for.
19) Which alternatives to the Trine EN400RP also give field reversible fail safe and fail secure operation?
The EN400RP is field reversible between fail safe and fail secure on DC units, and it is ordered in 12 VAC, 12 VDC, 24 VAC and 24 VDC. Among the alternatives, the Hager 2925 and Hager 2928 both carry field reversible fail safe/fail secure operation, and the Hager 2930 is a fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24 VDC dual voltage and field reversible fail safe/fail secure. The Hager 2925 uses a 5/8 inch latch, which is a lock latchbolt rather than a rim panic latch.
20) I need latch monitoring on the opening. Does the Trine EN400RP compare to strikes with a monitor switch?
For latch status reporting, the Dortronics 3300 Series is an electric strike with a latch bolt sensing switch, 12/24 VDC, and a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated dual monitor Grade 1 strike. The Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor. The EN400RP shares the 4-7/8 inch faceplate dimension and is the outdoor rated, fire rated choice for a rim exit device on a gate.
21) The frame cannot be cut. Is there an alternative to the Trine EN400RP that avoids frame prep?
The Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike, which addresses an existing frame that cannot be modified. The EN400RP takes a different route to the same problem on gates: it is used with the EN400-Gatebox, a weldable gate box that mounts the strike anywhere on the frame, and it is also available with an aluminum finished EN400-Gatebox-AL. That makes the EN400RP the option for a gate frame with no existing strike pocket at all.
22) The exit device latch throw is shorter than 1 inch. What else besides the Trine EN400RP handles varying latch throws?
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 it is Grade 1 and fire rated. The EN400RP covers rim panic latches with up to 1 inch throw based on a 1/8 inch door or gate gap, so it accommodates the longer throws while the 310-1(X) is selected to the specific shorter throw on the device.
23) The jamb is hollow metal or wood, not aluminum. Which strike suits that better than the Trine EN400RP?
The Adams Rite 7170 is an electric strike for hollow metal and wood jambs with a 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate, matching the 4-7/8 inch faceplate dimension of the EN400RP. The Adams Rite 7170 is not fire rated, while the EN400RP is fire rated and outdoor rated, so on a fire rated or exterior opening the EN400RP remains the one that meets those requirements.
24) What finishes does the Trine EN400RP come in for an exterior gate?
Seven: bright brass (605), satin brass (606), satin bronze (612), oil rubbed/dark bronze (613), bright polished chrome (629), satin stainless steel (630), and black powder coat. For coastal or heavy weather exposure, satin stainless (630) and the black powder coat are the two most common exterior picks; the brass finishes will patina outdoors.
25) Is the Trine EN400RP suitable for a commercial property or is it a residential gate product?
It is a commercial-duty product. Grade 1, over 1,000,000 cycles, 2,000+ lbs UL tested, with UL 1034 indoor/outdoor and UL 294 (6th Edition) listings plus NYC MEA 79-01-E approval. That combination is what a facility or MRO buyer needs to standardize a strike across exterior gates and perimeter openings in a portfolio.
26) What Grade 1 heavy duty electric strikes compete with the Trine EN400RP?
The EN400RP is a Grade 1 strike tested to 2,000+ lbs with a one piece locking mechanism and a single solenoid. Among Grade 1 heavy duty alternatives, the Alarm Controls AES-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike, the Von Duprin 4211 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated strike with 12/24 VDC field selectable operation, and the Locknetics MDS100 and MS100 are heavy duty electric strikes. The EN400RP is the one in this group carrying an outdoor rating for gates.
27) Which fire rated Grade 1 strike alternatives to the Trine EN400RP are available for a radius corner faceplate prep?
The SDC 45F Series is a fire rated electric strike for a 5/8 inch latchbolt with a radius corner faceplate, which suits a frame already prepped with radius corners for a lock latchbolt. The EN400RP uses a 4-7/8 inch faceplate and is intended for rim exit devices rather than a 5/8 inch lock latchbolt, so the two serve different latch types even though both are fire rated.
