Dormakaba Rci R23649 Fail Safe Electric Mortise Strike

Product Description

The DORMAKABA RCI R23649 is a fail safe electric mortise strike designed for access control applications in commercial door hardware installations. In the fail safe configuration, the strike releases and allows door passage when power is removed, making it appropriate for egress-critical openings where life safety codes require free exit during power loss. The 32D finish indicates a satin stainless steel appearance, which is commonly specified in commercial and institutional environments for durability and corrosion resistance. This unit is installed by licensed locksmiths, access control technicians, or door hardware specialists as part of an integrated electrified locking system.

The R23649 is suited for commercial and institutional applications where mortise lock hardware is already in use and an electrified strike is required to provide remote release capability. Typical installations include office entry doors, hospital corridors, educational facilities, and other access-controlled openings that require code-compliant egress. The mortise strike format is compatible with standard mortise lock body cutouts in hollow metal or wood door frames where the strike pocket is already prepared or can be routed to accept the unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified access control technician familiar with electrified hardware and applicable local building and fire codes. Power to the access control panel and the door circuit must be disconnected before wiring or mounting the strike. Verify that the door frame mortise pocket dimensions match the strike body before installation, and confirm fail safe versus fail secure requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before specifying. Wiring should comply with NEC low-voltage provisions and any applicable local amendments.
