HES 1500C-630-DLMS Heavy Duty Electric Strike with Dual Lock
When you're specifying access control for high-traffic commercial openings or facilities requiring fail-secure and fail-safe operation from the same strike, the HES 1500C-630-DLMS delivers field-proven reliability in a single frame prep. This heavy-duty electric strike combines dual solenoid architecture with a satin stainless steel finish, eliminating the need for separate hardware when security policies or fire codes demand operational flexibility. Built for cylindrical and mortise locksets, it handles continuous duty cycles in education, healthcare, and corporate environments where hardware failure isn't an option.
Key Features
- Dual lock monitoring system provides independent status feedback for fail-secure and fail-safe modes, simplifying integration with access panels requiring supervised circuits
- Heavy-duty construction with hardened steel keeper and reinforced solenoid housing withstands forced entry attempts and constant daily use
- Satin stainless steel (630) finish resists corrosion in exterior or high-humidity applications without visible wear patterns
- Field-selectable voltage operation accommodates 12VDC or 24VDC control systems without ordering separate models
- Compatible with both cylindrical and mortise locksets, reducing SKU complexity across multi-building projects
- Continuous duty rated solenoids eliminate thermal shutdown concerns in applications requiring extended release times
- ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 equivalent design meets commercial building codes for high-traffic openings
- Standard 1-1/4" x 4-7/8" ANSI strike prep simplifies retrofit installations into existing frames
The 1500C series addresses the common specification challenge where local AHJs require fail-safe egress on certain doors while security protocols demand fail-secure on others within the same facility. Rather than stocking two product lines, this dual-mode architecture lets you standardize on one strike and configure operation at the panel level. The integrated monitoring system reports keeper position and lock status independently, which is essential for troubleshooting intermittent latch issues without dispatching techs to physically inspect each opening.
Pair this strike with mortise locks in stairwell applications or cylindrical locksets on perimeter doors—the keeper geometry accommodates both latchbolt profiles without shimming or modification. The satin stainless finish maintains appearance in coastal environments or anywhere chloride exposure degrades painted or plated hardware. When you need one strike that handles multiple use cases without compromising on hold force or monitoring capability, the 1500C-630-DLMS reduces installation variables while meeting the operational demands of commercial access control systems.
