Dormakaba Rci A71-12VDC Electric Strike 12V Dc

Product Description

The DORMAKABA USA INC. / RCI A71-12VDC is a 12-volt DC electric strike designed for access control applications in commercial and institutional door hardware installations. Electric strikes replace the standard fixed strike plate in a door frame, allowing the latch or bolt to be released remotely when an access credential is accepted. The A71-12VDC operates on a 12-volt DC power supply, making it compatible with standard access control panels commonly found in security and building automation systems. Installation and servicing of electric strikes is typically performed by licensed locksmiths, access control technicians, or security system integrators.

Electric strikes in this category are used in commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multifamily residential properties where controlled entry points require remote release capability. The A71-12VDC includes a full faceplate, providing a finished appearance in the door frame and supporting standard mortise or cylindrical latch hardware. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for interior or controlled-access exterior doors where low-voltage electric release hardware is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith, access control technician, or qualified security integrator familiar with low-voltage door hardware. De-energize the access control panel and disconnect power to the strike circuit before beginning installation or servicing. Ensure the door frame cutout dimensions match the faceplate profile before mounting. Local building codes and AHJ requirements may govern the use of electric strikes on fire-rated or egress door assemblies.
