HES 1500C-629-LMS Complete Electric Strike Kit
When retrofitting access control into existing openings or standardizing hardware across multi-building projects, component compatibility becomes the bottleneck. The HES 1500C-629-LMS eliminates guesswork by bundling the 1500 Series electric strike with matched faceplates, lips, and mounting hardware in a single kit. This complete package reduces callbacks from mismatched components and cuts installation time on wood and hollow metal frames where strike selection depends on keeper height, backset, and voltage requirements.
Key Features
- Complete kit includes electric strike body, faceplate, lip options, and all necessary mounting hardware
- 1500 Series platform compatible with cylindrical locksets and exit devices in standard commercial applications
- 629 satin stainless steel finish matches most architectural hardware for consistent aesthetics
- LMS (Latch Monitoring Switch) provides real-time door status monitoring for security management systems
- Field-reversible for left-hand or right-hand door applications without ordering separate models
- Pre-wired leads simplify connection to access control panels and reduce termination errors
- UL listed for life safety applications where electric strikes must release on fire alarm
- Accommodates 12/24 VDC or 12/24 VAC input with internal rectification
The integrated latch monitoring switch reports both strike status and latch position to your access control panel, enabling forced entry detection and door ajar alarms without add-on sensors. This matters in high-security zones where you need confirmation that both the strike released and the latch retracted, not just that power was applied. The switch terminals accommodate most panel inputs including supervised circuits.
Packaging everything together means you're not hunting for compatible lips after discovering the factory default won't clear the keeper, or realizing mid-installation that you need a different faceplate thickness for the frame prep. The 1500C platform handles the majority of cylindrical lockset retrofits on 4-7/8" and 5" backset doors, while the bundled hardware covers both surface and mortise mounting scenarios. The satin stainless finish provides corrosion resistance for exterior applications and vestibules where moisture is a factor.
