Description
The HES 8500 series is a fire-rated, compact electric strike that offers high performance with a unique concealed configuration, specifically designed for use with mortise locksets without a deadbolt. Engineered for quick and convenient installation, the HES 8500 requires minimal or no modifications to the door frame. Installation involves simply removing the existing strike plate and dust box. Its exceptional strength comes from a distinctive keeper pin locking mechanism, allowing the HES 8500 to surpass Grade-1 standards. This innovative electric strike complies with NFPA 80-07 guidelines for retrofitting into fire-rated frames and accommodates mortise latchbolts up to a 3/4″ throw.
