HES 1600-606-LMS Electric Strike Body Only with Lock Monitor
When you need to retrofit an existing electric strike installation with lock monitoring capability, swapping out the entire assembly isn't always practical or cost-effective. The HES 1600-606-LMS strike body provides a drop-in replacement solution that adds lock position sensing to your access control system without requiring new frame prep or wiring runs. This monitor-equipped body integrates with your existing HES 1600 series hardware while giving you real-time verification of door security status.
Key Features
- Body-only replacement design allows retrofit of existing HES 1600 series installations without disturbing door or frame
- Integrated lock monitor provides contact closure signal for access control panel verification
- Compatible with standard HES 1600 faceplates and keepers already installed in the field
- Monitor output confirms keeper engagement, enabling alarm-on-forced-entry functionality
- Eliminates need for separate door position switches or auxiliary monitoring hardware
- Maintains existing strike performance while adding critical status feedback
- Field-installable by technicians already familiar with HES 1600 hardware
- Reduces labor costs compared to complete strike replacement during security system upgrades
Access control panels increasingly require lock status monitoring to satisfy security compliance requirements and enable proper alarm management. Rather than running new monitoring contacts or replacing functioning hardware, this body upgrade leverages your existing frame preparation and faceplate investment. The monitor output integrates directly with most commercial access control systems that accept dry contact inputs, providing the door secured/unsecured feedback needed for door forced open alarms and security audit trails.
This approach particularly benefits retrofit projects where you're upgrading older access control panels to newer systems with monitoring requirements, or where facility security policies have evolved to mandate lock position verification. The body-only format means you're not paying for components you don't need to replace, and installation typically completes in minutes rather than hours per opening.
