HES 1600-613E Electric Strike Body Only 1600 Dark Oxidized
When you need a field-proven electric strike for retrofit projects or replacements in existing jambs, the HES 1600 series delivers reliable access control without the complexity of a complete kit. This body-only configuration gives you the core strike mechanism in a dark oxidized finish, allowing you to reuse existing faceplates and hardware while upgrading the locking component that matters most.
Key Features
- Body-only configuration for retrofit installations and field replacements
- Dark oxidized finish (613E) for durability and professional appearance
- Compatible with existing HES 1600 series faceplates and trim
- Field-reversible keeper for left or right-hand door applications
- Proven HES 1600 platform trusted in commercial installations
- Designed for standard mortise and cylindrical locksets
- Reduces replacement costs by preserving existing jamb prep and faceplates
The HES 1600 platform has been a workhorse in commercial access control for good reason—it handles the mechanical stress of repeated daily cycling while maintaining consistent operation. This body-only option is particularly valuable when you're servicing buildings where the faceplate and jamb prep are still sound, but the strike mechanism needs replacement due to wear or to upgrade from older technology. You're not paying for components you don't need, and you're minimizing labor by working with the existing jamb preparation.
The dark oxidized finish provides corrosion resistance for interior applications while maintaining a low-profile appearance that blends with most commercial door hardware. Field reversibility means you can stock one unit for both left and right-hand doors, reducing inventory complexity. Whether you're maintaining an existing HES 1600 installation or upgrading individual strikes as part of a phased access control rollout, this body-only configuration gives you the flexibility to service diverse sites without carrying complete strike assemblies for every possible jamb configuration.
