Schlage Electronics 788C12 Armored Door Cord 12 Inches

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ELECTRONICS 788C12 is a 12-inch armored door cord designed to carry low-voltage signal wiring across a door hinge gap in access control and electrified hardware installations. The cord features 4-conductor wire inside a flexible armored jacket that protects the conductors from mechanical damage caused by repeated door cycling. At 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight component that fits into new installations and retrofit projects alike. Licensed electricians and security system technicians typically install this cord as part of an electrified door hardware assembly, connecting power or signal between the door frame and the door-mounted device.

This armored door cord is suited for commercial and institutional access control applications where electrified locks, electric strikes, or door position switches require a protected wiring path across the door pivot point. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both interior and exterior door assemblies where the hinge-area wiring must withstand continuous flexing. The 3/8-inch diameter profile keeps the installation clean and low-profile on standard door preparations.

Key Features

• 12-inch length provides adequate reach across standard door hinge gaps
• Armored jacket protects 4-conductor wire from abrasion and repeated flex stress
• 3/8-inch cord diameter suits standard door cord knockouts and preparations
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Sold individually for single-door replacement or new-install use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement door cord for commercial and institutional electrified door hardware assemblies requiring a 12-inch 4-conductor armored cord with a 3/8-inch profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or certified access control technician. De-energize all connected hardware and verify the door circuit is unpowered before disconnecting or connecting the cord. Route the cord through the designated door frame and door-edge knockouts to avoid pinching at the hinge. Follow local electrical codes and the hardware manufacturer instructions for minimum bend radius and termination requirements.
