Locksmiths and installers have trusted HES electric strikes for decades for their affordable, versatile, durable, and innovative electric strike solutions.

Almost 5 years ago the HES 1500 and 1600 Electric Strikes were launched as the next generation of the legacy 4500 and 1006 Electric Strikes. Let’s take a closer look at what sets these strikes apart from the rest:

HES 1006 – the strongest, most versatile electric strike available.

• Tested for durability, this ultra-strong, tamper-resistant strike has 2,500lbs static strength for institutional and industrial applications
• With a number of different options and combinations, it offers unsurpassed flexibility by accommodating every cylindrical, mortise and mortise with or without a 1" deadbolt, making it the only deadbolt recapture strike available in the market
• It also offers specialty options for deadbolt recapture and swinging hookbolts

HES 4500 – the low profile, heavy duty, fire-rated solution for non-deadbolt applications.

• Heavy duty strength for cylindrical and mortise applications
• It’s low-profile depth of 1-3/8” allows for a shallow cut (1/2” drywall penetration) into the frame with less material removal and easier installation
• The unique, heavy duty keeper pin locking design exceeds ratings of the frame, door and locking hardware
• Plus with its low energy consumption and quiet mechanical operation when actuating, it is a great option for hospital and healthcare settings

HES 1500 – the most advanced and flexible electric strike for non-deadbolt applications.

• Accommodates nearly every cylindrical and mortise lockset without a deadbolt on the market
• Easy to adjust, it’s modular design allows for easier installation as well as field adjustments, service and upgrades
• Available fully finished to match existing hardware or blend into the frame, adding to the aesthetics of the opening

HES 1600 – the most dynamic and flexible electric strike for cylindrical and mortise locksets.

• Most versatile strike available, accommodating nearly every cylindrical and mortise lockset, with or without a deadbolt
• Available in three Complete Pac configurations to fit exact project needs
• With the same modular design as the HES 1500, this strike allows for easier installation as well as field adjustments, service and upgrades
• Also available fully finished to match existing hardware or blend into the frame
• Moving the solenoid inside the strike body, instead of outside the keeper, contributes to lower energy use than legacy 1006, making this a great option for energy conscious applications

What sets the new HES 1500/1600 Series Electric Strikes apart from the rest of the industry? Here are five reasons to discover the difference.

1. Flexible installation means you can carry less strikes. The exclusive design of the HES 1500/1600 Series Platform accommodates every brand of cylindrical and mortise lock with up to a 3/4” latchbolt.
2. Dynamic adjustability with the adjustable integrated shim that adjusts up to 1/8” allows for adjustments months or years after installation is complete.
3. Modular design means that all faceplates and accessories are interchangeable between the HES 1500/1600 Series platform, and it all comes in one box!
4. These electric strikes were designed with installers in mind:
• Integrated adjustability increases efficiency for installers and enables them to easily problem-solve on the job.
• Rather than carry bulky instruction guides or extra paper, installers can access 3D step-by-step instructions at their fingertips via the free BILT app.
• Field configurable fail secure/fail safe and 12/24 dual voltage options offer additional on-the-job flexibility.
5. Commitment to Customers: HES 1500/1600 Series Electric Strikes are backed by our exclusive SecuriCare ten-year, no-fault, no questions asked warranty.
