Trine EN850-24DC-32D-RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Trine EN850 electric strike work with a rim panic exit device?
That's exactly what the EN850 is built for. It's a rim panic solution strike that accepts the pullman latch of most rim panic exit devices, with a keeper throw up to 1 inch, and it goes into wood or metal jambs on new or replacement work. The faceplate is 9 inches, so the jamb needs to take a strike cutout of that length.
2) Can an electric strike be used outdoors on a gate?
The Trine EN850 is one of the few rated for it. It carries a UL 1034 Indoor/Outdoor Burglary Resistant listing, which is why it gets specified on exterior gates and perimeter openings where a standard interior strike would fail. If you need a version that mounts in a gatebox anywhere on the gate frame, Trine's EN400RP is the model to look at instead. Camden's CX-ED1959 Series is another outdoor rated gate strike if you're comparing.
3) Do I have to order the Trine EN850 handed, and can I change it in the field?
Handing is an order choice, left hand or right hand, but it isn't a permanent commitment. The EN850 is field reversible for handing, so a strike that arrives the wrong hand for the opening can be flipped on site rather than returned.
4) Should I order the Trine EN850 fail safe or fail secure?
Order to how the opening has to behave in a power loss: fail secure keeps the door locked when power drops (the usual choice for exterior and perimeter gates), fail safe releases it. Both are offered. On DC units the mode is field reversible, so a 12VDC or 24VDC strike can be switched on site. That reversibility is tied to the DC units, so if you're specifying 12VAC or 24VAC, pick the mode you actually want at the time of order.
5) Which voltage should I pick for the Trine EN850, and will it buzz?
Four voltages are offered: 12VAC, 24VAC, 12VDC and 24VDC. The AC units buzz when energized and are rated intermittent duty only. The DC units run silent and are rated intermittent or continuous duty, drawing 0.280A at 12VDC (43 ohms) and 0.150A at 24VDC (164 ohms). For anything near an occupied space, or where the strike may sit energized, go DC. AC draw is higher: 0.700A at 12VAC and 0.370A at 24VAC.
6) I need an electric strike for a cylindrical or mortise lock, not a panic bar. Is the EN850 right?
No. The EN850 is a rim panic strike, sized for the pullman latch of a rim exit device, not for a cylindrical latchbolt or mortise lock. For a cylindrical lockset, the Von Duprin 4211 (Grade 1, 12/24VDC field-selectable, fire rated) or the Adams Rite 7240 with 5/8 inch latchbolt projection are the right shape. For a mortise lock, look at the Von Duprin 6210 or the Securitron MUNL. The Von Duprin 6400 handles either.
7) The opening is a labeled fire door with a rim exit device. What electric strike works there instead of the Trine EN850?
The Trine EN850 states in its own specifications that it is not fire rated, so a labeled opening needs a different strike. The Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure operation and a latchbolt monitor, which keeps the rim exit device application and adds the fire rating. The Camden CX-ED1410 and CX-ED1420 universal Grade 1 ANSI strikes are also fire rated. Note that the Hager 2945 and the EN850 share the field reversible fail safe/fail secure behavior, so the wiring decision on site is the same.
8) Is the Adams Rite 7100 a substitute for the Trine EN850 electric strike?
They solve different openings. The Adams Rite 7100 is an electric strike for aluminum jambs with a flat 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate, sized for narrow stile aluminum framing. The Trine EN850 carries a 9 inch faceplate and is intended for wood or metal jambs with rim panic exit devices. An aluminum storefront jamb prepped for the Adams Rite 7100 will not take a 9 inch faceplate without new prep, and neither product is fire rated. For hollow metal and wood jambs in the same Adams Rite family, the 7170 uses the same 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate.
9) What is a comparable outdoor rated electric strike to the Trine EN850 for a gate application?
The Camden CX-ED1959 series is an outdoor rated electric gate strike, which puts it in the same application space as the Trine EN850, an outdoor rated electric strike built for rim panic exit devices in wood or metal jambs. The difference to check before ordering either one is fire rating: the Camden CX-ED1959 is not fire rated, and the EN850 is likewise stated in its own specifications as not fire rated, so neither belongs in a labeled fire door opening. For an exterior gate or a perimeter door where no fire label applies, both are outdoor rated candidates.
10) What are the Grade 1 alternatives to the Trine EN850 electric strike?
The Trine EN850 is described as a Grade 1 strike to BHMA 156.31 2001. Other Grade 1 strikes include the Alarm Controls AES-100 heavy duty strike, the Von Duprin 4211 for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field selectable operation, the Von Duprin 6400 modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks, the Securitron MUNL mortise unlatch strike, and the HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) strike body. The dividing line is the lock the strike serves: the EN850 is for rim panic exit devices, while the Von Duprin 4211 and 6400 and the Securitron MUNL address cylindrical and mortise locks.
11) I need latchbolt monitoring on the strike. Which one does that, since the Trine EN850 is specified without it?
The Trine EN850 is specified as a one piece locking mechanism with a single solenoid. For openings where the access control head end needs to see latch position, the Dortronics 3300 Series includes a latch bolt sensing switch and runs 12/24 VDC with a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a dual monitor Grade 1 strike supplied with eight faceplates. The Hager 2945 is the one of the three that stays in the rim exit device application the EN850 serves.
12) The opening is a pair of doors with surface vertical rods. Is the Trine EN850 the right strike?
No. The Trine EN850 is made to work with most rim panic exit devices. For surface vertical rod devices, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete electric strike pac built for surface vertical rods, and it is a Grade 1 unit that is not fire rated. For a double door application with a 3/4 inch keeper, the Rockwood double door electric strike is a Grade 1 fire rated unit in the 310-1 series.
13) Can I run the Trine EN850 off PoE from my access control panel?
Yes, the EN Series is PoE friendly. The 24VDC unit pulls 0.150A and the 12VDC unit 0.280A, which is what makes it workable on a power-over-Ethernet budget, and both DC options are rated for continuous duty so the strike can be held energized without a duty cycle problem.
14) How strong is the Trine EN850, and will it hold up on a high traffic entrance?
It's UL tested to 2,000+ lbs of static strength and rated for 1,000,000+ cycles, and it meets BHMA A156.31 Grade 1. The locking mechanism is one piece driven by a single solenoid, which is the reason it survives gate and high-cycle entry duty: fewer moving parts to go out of adjustment. It also carries NYC MEA 79-01-E for New York City jobs.
15) Can I retrofit the Trine EN850 into an existing strike cutout?
Plan on cutting to the EN850 frame prep. It's a 9 inch faceplate with a 1/2 inch thick plate, which is a deeper and longer pocket than a standard 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike prep, so it won't drop into an existing ANSI cutout. If cutting the jamb isn't an option, a no-cut style strike such as the Locknetics NC450 is the direction to go, though that's a different application than a rim panic device.
16) I have a pair of doors with rim exit devices on both leaves. Do I need two EN850 strikes?
If both leaves latch into a mullion or into each other with rim devices, each latch needs its own strike, so that's two EN850s, ordered opposite hands. Where the pair uses a single 3/4 inch keeper double door arrangement instead, the Rockwood 310-1 Series double door electric strike is built for that configuration.
17) Is there a simpler or lower cost electric strike than the Trine EN850 for an interior door?
For interior openings that do not need an outdoor rated body, the SDC 15 Series is a value strike for 5/8 inch latchbolts with 12/24 VDC operation, the SDC 25 Series is a value strike for 1/2 inch latchbolt compatibility, and the RCI 15BS is an economy strike for special offset latch entry with fail secure operation. What you give up against the Trine EN850 is the outdoor rating and, on the RCI 15BS, the choice of fail safe operation, since that unit is fail secure only while the EN850 is offered in both fail safe and fail secure.
18) Which electric strikes besides the Trine EN850 can be switched between fail safe and fail secure in the field?
The Trine EN850 is field reversible between fail safe and fail secure on DC units, and it is ordered as either a fail safe or fail secure unit. The Hager 2925, which carries a 5/8 inch latch, the Hager 2928, and the fire rated Grade 1 Hager 2930 for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24 VDC dual voltage all list field reversible fail safe/fail secure operation as well. The Von Duprin 4211 is field selectable on voltage at 12/24 VDC rather than on lock mode.
19) Which heavy duty electric strikes compete with the Trine EN850 on a high traffic entrance?
The Trine EN850 is rated over 2,000 lbs in UL testing with durability over 1,000,000 cycles and is a Grade 1 strike. Other heavy duty units include the Alarm Controls AES-100, a Grade 1 heavy duty strike, the Locknetics MDS100 and MS100 in satin stainless, and the Von Duprin 4211 and 6210, both heavy duty Grade 1. The separator for an exterior entrance is the outdoor rating: the EN850 is outdoor rated, while the Von Duprin 6210 is carried as a UL 10C fire rated mortise lock strike for the labeled interior openings.
20) I need a strike in a finish other than satin stainless. What are my options?
The Trine EN850 is offered in US10 satin bronze, US10B dark bronze, US3 bright brass, US32 polished stainless steel, US32D satin stainless steel, and US4 satin brass, in left and right hand and in 12VAC, 12VDC, 24VAC, and 24VDC. Several comparable strikes are carried in a single finish: the Locknetics CS450, MDS100, MS100, and NC450 are all US32D satin stainless, and the Von Duprin 4211 and 6400 are 32D. If the opening has bronze or brass hardware to match, the EN850 covers those finishes where the single finish units do not.
21) Is there another rim mount electric strike like the Trine EN850?
The SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount electric strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt with stainless steel construction, which is the closest rim mount peer to the Trine EN850, a Grade 1 strike for most rim panic exit devices with a 9 inch faceplate. The distinction that decides the job is exposure and rating: the EN850 is outdoor rated and not fire rated, so for exterior gates and perimeter doors it is the rim mount choice, while a labeled rim exit opening calls for the fire rated Hager 2945 instead.
22) What finishes does the Trine EN850 come in for matching exterior hardware?
Six: US3 bright brass, US4 satin brass, US10 satin bronze, US10B dark bronze, US32 polished stainless and US32D satin stainless. On exterior gates and storefront, US32D satin stainless and US10B dark bronze are the two that typically match existing exit device trim across a property.
