HES 10530610 4500C-12/24-612-LBM Electric Strike
When you need a field-selectable voltage electric strike that adapts to both 12V and 24V access control panels without stocking separate SKUs, the HES 4500C series delivers the flexibility installers demand. This dual-voltage strike eliminates guesswork during retrofit projects where existing panel voltage may be unknown until you're on-site, and the LBM (Latchbolt Monitor) functionality provides real-time feedback on door position for system diagnostics and security verification.
Key Features
- Field-selectable 12V/24V DC operation—one strike for multiple panel configurations
- Latchbolt monitor (LBM) integrated for door position status feedback to access control systems
- 612 satin bronze finish for architectural coordination in commercial environments
- Continuous duty rated—remains energized during business hours without thermal concerns
- ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 construction for high-traffic commercial and institutional applications
- Adjustable keeper design accommodates standard cylindrical and mortise locksets
- Pre-loaded with standard faceplate; field-reversible for left or right-hand doors
- Designed for wood and hollow metal door frames in 4-7/8" to 6" jamb depths
The 4500C series addresses a common pain point in access control deployments: voltage compatibility across mixed installations. Rather than maintaining separate inventory for 12V and 24V strikes, the field-selectable design lets you stock one part number while accommodating both low-voltage standards. The integrated latchbolt monitor provides a switched output when the keeper is depressed, enabling door position monitoring through your access controller—critical for verifying secure closure in sensitive areas or triggering alarms when doors are propped open.
The 612 satin bronze finish matches standard architectural hardware in professional office buildings, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions where visible hardware requires aesthetic coordination. HES continuous-duty design means the strike can remain energized throughout operating hours in fail-secure configurations without overheating concerns, making it suitable for continuously unlocked entries during business hours. The ANSI Grade 1 rating ensures this strike meets the durability requirements for high-cycle openings where cheaper Grade 2 or 3 strikes would require premature replacement.
