Rutherford Controls S6504X32D Centerline Electric Strike

The Rutherford Controls RCI S6504 x 32D is a heavy-duty, standard-profile electric strike with 1,500 pounds of static holding strength, 70 ft-lb dynamic strength, and a satin stainless steel (32D/630) finish. Designed for compatible centerline cylindrical and mortise locking hardware, it accommodates 3/4-inch latch projections, field-selectable fail-safe or fail-secure operation, and 12/24 VDC or 12-24 VAC power. Its non-handed construction features an ANSI round-corner faceplate, 1/4-inch horizontal adjustment, and plug-in wiring connectors. The strike is UL 294 and UL 1034 listed and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1.

Rutherford Controls RCI S6504 x 32D 6 Series Heavy-Duty Electric Strike

The Rutherford Controls RCI S6504 x 32D is a heavy-duty, standard-profile electric door strike with 1,500 pounds (680 kg) of static holding force and a brushed stainless steel (32D/630) finish. Part of the RCI 6 Series Centerline electric strikes by dormakaba, the S6504 is designed for commercial electronic access control systems using compatible cylindrical locksets, centerline mortise locks, and selected exit devices. Its standard-profile strike body accommodates latch projections up to 3/4 inch (19 mm), making it suitable for aluminum storefront entrances and other properly prepared commercial door frames. The strike allows authorized entry through compatible card readers, keypads, access control panels, intercoms, and remote release switches while retaining the mechanical locking hardware installed on the door. Its ANSI round-corner faceplate, non-handed design, and adjustable keeper arrangement support new installations and compatible electric strike replacement applications in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, industrial buildings, and retail properties.

The RCI S6504 x 32D incorporates a field-selectable fail-safe or fail-secure locking mechanism with 1,500 pounds of static strength and 70 foot-pounds of dynamic strength. In fail-secure mode, the strike remains locked without electrical power and releases when energized. In fail-safe mode, the strike releases when power is removed, allowing installers to configure the appropriate power-loss behavior for the installation. The operating mode is changed mechanically using the manufacturer's selectable locking mechanism without requiring specialized programming equipment. The strike features a 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) horizontal adjustment range to accommodate minor door and frame alignment differences, while its adjustable lip bracket helps establish proper latch engagement. The non-handed construction allows installation on compatible left- or right-hand door openings. Its heavy-duty electromechanical mechanism has been factory-tested to more than one million operating cycles and is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1 with a 500,000-cycle endurance classification for the 04 faceplate configuration.

The Rutherford Controls S6504 supports field-selectable 12 or 24 VDC operation and 12-24 VAC operation using its multi-voltage solenoid and designated plug-in wiring connectors. Manufacturer specifications identify a maximum current draw of approximately 375 mA at 12 VDC and 190 mA at 24 VDC, while AC configurations draw approximately 280-565 mA depending on the operating voltage. Direct-current operation is rated for continuous duty, while alternating-current operation is limited to intermittent duty according to the manufacturer's electrical specifications. The strike incorporates a standard-profile insert depth of 1-3/16 inches (30 mm) and an ANSI round-corner faceplate measuring 1-1/4 inches wide by 4-7/8 inches high (32 x 124 mm). Its stainless steel construction provides mechanical durability, while the plug-in electrical connectors simplify field wiring and voltage configuration. The strike includes a trim plate designed to conceal irregularities around existing frame cutouts, supporting a finished appearance during compatible retrofit installations.

The RCI S6504 x 32D is designed for centerline latch applications on properly prepared aluminum door frames, with installation requirements determined by the mechanical lock and frame construction. Installers position the electric strike according to the centerline of the existing latch, prepare the frame using the manufacturer-specified dimensions, and secure the strike using the appropriate mounting hardware. For cylindrical locksets, the latch is aligned with the center of the strike opening. For mortise lock applications, the lip bracket ramps are aligned with the auxiliary deadlocking trigger to maintain the intended locking function. The manufacturer's S6JIG standard-profile frame preparation jig is available separately to support accurate frame cutting and drilling. Additional accessories include LEKS601, LEKS602, and LEKS603 lip extension kits for specialized retrofit clearances, the S6504DD double-door accessory for compatible astragal arrangements, and replacement trim plates. The standard S6504 does not include integrated latch or keeper monitoring; that feature is available through the separately specified S6504LMKM model.

The Rutherford Controls RCI S6504 x 32D is UL 294 listed for access control equipment, UL 1034 listed for burglary-resistant electric locking mechanisms, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1. Its Grade 1 classification corresponds to the 04 faceplate configuration, with 1,500-pound static strength, 70 ft-lb dynamic resistance, and 500,000-cycle certified endurance. The standard-profile model is distinguished from the RCI L6504 low-profile strike, which accommodates shorter 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch latch projections with a shallower 1-1/16-inch insert depth. The S6504 is also distinct from the universal S65U configuration, which includes multiple faceplate options rather than the specific ANSI round-corner faceplate. The S6504 is intended for installations where the selected mechanical lock, frame preparation, electrical release arrangement, and door egress requirements are compatible with its operating characteristics. The manufacturer provides a 10-year limited warranty under its current published product terms. Combining field-selectable locking modes, 12/24 VDC electrical compatibility, high-strength stainless steel construction, horizontal adjustability, and Grade 1 performance, the S6504 x 32D provides a versatile electric strike solution for commercial storefront entrances and electronically controlled doors.
