Vertical Centerline
of Door**
1. Determine the vertical centerline of the door lock face and
the horizontal centerline of the latch.
IMPORTANT: When determining the horizontal centerline
observe the following:
FOR MORTISE LOCKS: Align the angled ramps of the lip
bracket with the deadlock trigger of the mortise latch.
FOR CYLINDRICAL LOCKS: Align the center of the latch with
the center of the strike opening.**
2. Transfer both the horizontal and vertical centerlines to the
doorframe.**
3. Prepare the doorframe for cutting as per the appropriate
drawing.
4. If required, install “no weld” mounting brackets as per the
instructions included with the mounting brackets in the
hardware pack.
5. Attach the strike insert (coil unit or “motor”) to the lip
bracket with the screws provided.
6. Attach the strike faceplate to the lip bracket with the screws
provided. (It may be desirable to leave these screws slightly
loose to facilitate insertion into the doorframe.
7. Connect the incoming wiring from the power supply to the
terminal screws on the strike insert. RCI door strikes are not
polarity sensitive although be certain to observe proper
polarity if a suppression diode is required for access control
applications.
8. Install the door strike in the doorframe using the screws
provided.
Instructions
NOTE: Specifications subject to change without notice.
*Dimension F is measured from face of mounting tab to face of frame and equates to the thickness of the frame material.
**Dimension X on the drawing is determined by the vertical centerline of the door. If the latch incorporates a deadlocking pin additional steps will be
necessary to ensure proper operation of the deadlocking pin. Measure the thickness of the deadlocking pin and add this thickness to Dimension X to
relocate the vertical centerline an appropriate distance on the frame.
†For wood frame door installations, substitute #12 wood screws for dimension M.
4 & 7 Series Troubleshooting
Latch or keeper are not
functioning properly
Confirm that the keeper is closing properly and that the lever in
the strike cavity is operating freely.
SolutionPossible CausesProblem
Strike will not lock or
unlock properly
No power to the insert Using a multimeter, confirm that you have the correct output
voltage at the power supply.
Using a multimeter, confirm that you have the correct input
voltage at the strike.
Confirm that all connections are tight and secure.
Incorrect voltage used Confirm that the insert and power supply are the proper voltage.
Strike is binding Confirm that the strike keeper functions when the door is open. If
the strike operates correctly, adjust door or strike to eliminate any
backpressure.
Confirm that the strike cavity depth is compatible with the lock
set.
Strike releases but
won’t buzz
Improper power supply Replace the power supply with a correct voltage AC power supply,
and the 12V connector. If this cannot be done, a DC piezo buzzer
can be installed.
Strike makes a buzzing
sound
Improper power supply Replace the power supply with a correct voltage DC power supply.
Insert has a burnt smell Improper voltage Confirm that you have the correct output voltage at the power supply.
Improper application A strike connected to an AC power supply will buzz unless a
rectifier is installed.
Improper installation Confirm that the correct connector was used when installing the
strike 12V for 12VDC & 12-24VAC, 24V for 24VDC only.
Confirm that all connections are tight and secure.
Mortise lock not dead
latching
Improper Installation Check alignment of dead latch and lip bracket ramp.
Door has sagged Adjust door alignment.
Cylindrical deadlatching not
working
Improper Installation /
Door has warped
Adjust the strike horizontal adjustment. (See Installation
Instructions).
Door won’t latch Door has warped or sagged
creating excessive back
pressure
Re-align door in frame or replace.
Monitor switch is not
functioning
Short in wiring Confirm that all connections are tight and secure.
Using a multimeter confirm continuity of the N/O & N/C sides of
the switch.

Mounting Bracket Kit Instructions
Mounting bracket kit is for use with aluminum and steel frames that do not have factory installed mounting tabs for electric strike
installation.
1. Prepare the frame as shown in the approximate drawing. Fasten the mounting bracket to the faceplate of the strike, selecting the
appropriate shims for the installation.
2. Using the assembled strike and brackets as a template, place against the frame and mark the mounting hole locations. Remove and
drill a 3/16" hole in frame for each mounting bracket and countersink the frame.
3. Remove the brackets from the faceplate and install in the frame using the 12-24 x 3/8" machine screws supplied. Tabs are zinc
plated and drilled and tapped for this purpose.
4. Make final electrical connections per wiring instructions and mount strike to the brackets with the 12-24 x 3/8" machine screws.
