HES 1600-606-LM Electric Strike Body Only with Lock Monitor
When you need to replace a failed strike body without rewiring the entire frame prep, or you're upgrading an existing 1600 series installation to include lock monitoring capability, this body-only configuration delivers exactly what you need. The HES 1600-606-LM provides the core strike mechanism with integrated lock monitor functionality, allowing you to retrofit monitoring into access control systems that previously lacked position sensing without replacing faceplate hardware or modifying door frame cutouts.
Key Features
- Body-only configuration for field replacement without faceplate changes or re-prepping frames
- Integrated lock monitor provides real-time keeper position feedback to access control panels
- Compatible with existing HES 1600 series faceplates and trim rings for seamless retrofits
- Reduces installation time and labor costs when adding monitoring to non-monitored strikes
- Eliminates need to pull new monitoring cables through finished walls in upgrade scenarios
- Supports forced door and door-held-open alarm conditions when wired to compatible controllers
- Field-serviceable design allows maintenance without disturbing frame or door hardware
The 1600-606-LM addresses a common challenge in access control retrofits: adding position monitoring to strikes that were originally installed without it. Rather than removing the entire strike assembly, patching the frame, and starting from scratch, you can swap just the body mechanism while retaining the existing faceplate and frame prep. This approach cuts installation time significantly and minimizes cosmetic disruption to finished openings, particularly valuable in occupied facilities where extended door downtime isn't an option.
The integrated lock monitor provides a dry contact closure that signals your access panel when the keeper is in the locked versus unlocked position. This enables your system to differentiate between authorized entry, forced entry, and doors propped open—critical intelligence for compliance reporting and real-time security response. For integrators maintaining legacy HES 1600 installations or inheriting projects where monitoring wasn't originally specified, this body-only option delivers monitoring capability without the cost and complexity of full strike replacement.
