HES 10530604 HES 4500C-12/24-612 Electric Strike
When you need fail-secure electric strike performance that adapts to either 12V or 24V DC systems without swapping hardware, the HES 4500C-12/24-612 delivers field-proven reliability for medium-security commercial applications. This dual-voltage strike eliminates inventory complexity while providing consistent locking performance across mixed voltage installations—critical when retrofitting existing access control systems or standardizing across multiple buildings with different power configurations.
Key Features
- Dual-voltage operation (12V or 24V DC) from a single unit reduces SKU management and field confusion
- Fail-secure operation ensures doors remain locked during power interruptions or system failures
- 612 satin bronze anodized finish integrates with architectural hardware in commercial and institutional settings
- Compatible with standard cylindrical locksets and latchbolts for straightforward retrofit installations
- Field-selectable keeper design accommodates various latch geometries without special ordering
- Suitable for doors up to 250 pounds when properly installed in standard 1-3/4" to 2" thick frames
- UL listed for safety and compliance in commercial access control deployments
The 4500C series addresses a common integration challenge: maintaining consistent strike performance while working within the voltage constraints of existing access control panels. Rather than stocking separate 12V and 24V versions, this model accepts either input, simplifying your parts inventory and reducing callbacks when voltage requirements change during project design. The fail-secure configuration means the strike remains energized to unlock—essential for perimeter doors, IT rooms, and other zones where security takes priority over egress convenience (pair with appropriate egress devices per local code).
The satin bronze anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and blends with premium architectural hardware finishes common in corporate, healthcare, and higher education environments. HES builds these strikes for the realities of commercial door schedules—where frame prep tolerances vary, installer experience ranges widely, and the strike needs to perform reliably for years without adjustment. The field-selectable keeper accommodates installation variances that would cause lesser strikes to bind or fail prematurely, reducing your service calls and protecting project margins on multi-door deployments.
