Dormakaba Usa Inc. / Rci 15BS16 Electric Strike 11-16V Ac

Product Description

The DORMAKABA USA INC. / RCI 15BS16 is an electric strike designed for access control applications in commercial and institutional door hardware installations. Electric strikes replace the fixed strike plate on a door frame, allowing the latch bolt to retract remotely when an access credential is presented. This unit operates on 11 to 16 volts AC, making it compatible with a wide range of low-voltage access control power supplies. It is typically installed by licensed locksmiths, access control technicians, or security integrators working on door hardware projects.

Electric strikes of this type are commonly specified for commercial office doors, educational facilities, and multi-tenant residential entry points where remote or electronic latch release is required. The 15BS16 suits applications where a low-voltage AC power supply is already present in the access control infrastructure. It is sold as a single unit per package.

Installation Notes

Electric strikes must be installed by a qualified locksmith or access control technician familiar with low-voltage wiring practices and applicable local building and security codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the access control system before beginning installation or wiring work. Verify that the power supply output voltage falls within the 11 to 16 volts AC operating range before energizing the strike. Confirm door frame compatibility and proper latch bolt alignment before final mounting to ensure reliable operation.
