HES 10790032 Hes Fp:851m-605 Electric Strike
When you need a fail-secure electric strike that holds the door locked during power loss while maintaining code compliance for emergency egress, the HES 10790032 delivers field-proven performance in medium-duty commercial applications. This mortise-style strike integrates with standard exit devices and cylindrical locksets, providing installers with a reliable access control solution that balances security requirements with life safety code mandates.
Key Features
- Fail-secure operation keeps door locked when power is interrupted, ideal for perimeter doors and restricted areas
- Mortise configuration designed for integration with exit devices and mortise locks in hollow metal and wood frames
- Durable 605 bright brass finish provides corrosion resistance and clean aesthetics for visible installations
- Field-reversible design reduces inventory requirements by supporting both left-hand and right-hand applications
- Standard 12/24 VDC operation simplifies integration with existing access control panels and power supplies
- Continuous duty rating supports high-traffic openings without thermal shutdown or performance degradation
- Pre-load adjustment capability allows field tuning to match door pressure and ensure reliable latching
- UL 1034 listed for safety and insurance compliance in commercial security installations
The HES 10790032 addresses the common challenge of securing doors that must remain locked until authorized credential presentation while still allowing immediate egress during emergencies. The fail-secure design means the strike remains energized during normal operation and locks when power is removed, making it appropriate for exterior doors, IT rooms, and other spaces where defaulting to locked is the preferred security posture. The mortise format fits standard frame preparations, minimizing installation time and eliminating the need for custom frame modifications on retrofit projects.
Integration with access control systems is straightforward using standard dry contact relay outputs from panels or controllers. The continuous duty rating eliminates concerns about thermal cycling in high-use applications, and the field-reversible design reduces the number of SKUs required in your inventory. For installations requiring aesthetic coordination, the 605 bright brass finish matches common architectural hardware and maintains appearance in high-visibility locations. This strike provides the fundamental components needed for a reliable fail-secure electric strike installation without unnecessary complexity.
