HES 10530615 4500C-12/24-606-LBSM Electric Strike
When you need a field-selectable electric strike that adapts to both 12V and 24V access control systems without stocking separate models, the HES 4500C delivers. This cylindrical lockset strike handles the unpredictability of retrofit jobs and mixed-voltage panels while maintaining the fail-secure operation required for perimeter and restricted area applications. The 606 satin brass finish provides corrosion resistance in coastal or high-humidity environments where standard strikes corrode prematurely.
Key Features
- Field-selectable 12V or 24V DC operation reduces inventory complexity and eliminates voltage-matching delays on job sites
- Fail-secure configuration maintains locked state during power loss, meeting code requirements for exterior and sensitive interior doors
- Designed for cylindrical locksets with latchbolt monitoring (LBSM) to integrate with access control panels requiring door position feedback
- 606 satin brass finish resists tarnishing and oxidation in humid or salt-air environments common to coastal installations
- 4500 series platform proven across commercial applications from office tenant spaces to healthcare secure units
- Standard ANSI cutout simplifies replacement of failed strikes without door modification or frame reinforcement
- Compatible with HES monitoring switches for alarm integration and real-time door status reporting
The 4500C addresses a common integration pain point: voltage standardization across multi-building campuses or phased construction projects. Rather than managing separate 12V and 24V strike inventory, installers field-select the voltage with a simple jumper change. This flexibility speeds installations when panel specifications change mid-project or when replacing legacy hardware with unknown voltage requirements. The latchbolt monitoring capability feeds back to access panels, enabling you to distinguish between forced entry, door-ajar conditions, and normal access events without adding separate magnetic contacts.
The 606 finish is particularly relevant for educational and hospitality projects where brass hardware dominates the aesthetic but budget constraints rule out solid brass components. It provides visual consistency with surrounding hardware while delivering the durability required for high-cycle commercial applications. Installation follows standard electric strike procedures with no proprietary tools or non-standard fasteners—critical when coordinating with general contractors working to tight completion schedules.
