HES 10600003 Hes 5204-1-1/4IN-Blk Electric Strike
When you're retrofitting access control into doors with 1-1/4" thick frames or working with specialized hollow metal installations, standard strikes won't fit. The HES 5204 series solves the depth constraint problem in commercial openings where frame geometry limits your hardware options. This black-finished electric strike gives you the fail-secure operation integrators need for perimeter doors, stairwells, and secure zones without requiring frame modifications that kill project margins.
Key Features
- 1-1/4" depth configuration fits shallow frame pockets and specialized hollow metal door assemblies
- Black finish for cohesive appearance on dark anodized aluminum frames and powder-coated steel doors
- Fail-secure operation keeps doors locked during power loss—essential for perimeter security applications
- HES 5200 series platform proven across thousands of commercial access control installations
- Field-reversible for left-hand or right-hand door configurations without ordering separate models
- Compatible with standard cylindrical and mortise locksets for straightforward locksmith coordination
- Suitable for interior and covered exterior applications where weather exposure is minimal
- 12/24 VDC or 12/24 VAC operation options support diverse panel configurations
The 5204 series addresses the integration challenges that come with unusual frame depths in retrofit construction and architecturally-specified hollow metal systems. You're not reworking frames or waiting for custom fabrication—you're installing hardware that matches the opening as built. The field-reversible design means you can stock one model for either hand, reducing inventory headaches and eliminating reorder delays when handed openings change during construction. The strike works with your existing access panels and locksets, so you're not introducing compatibility variables into projects with tight timelines.
The black powder coat finish integrates cleanly with dark architectural hardware packages common in corporate lobbies, government facilities, and high-end commercial builds. For integrators managing multi-door projects where aesthetic consistency matters to the architect or owner, this finish option prevents the mismatched appearance that comes from mixing satin chrome strikes with black locksets and hinges. The HES 5200 platform's track record in the field means you're specifying hardware with known service intervals and readily available parts support.
