HES 5000C-LBM Complete Electric Strike
The 5000C-LBM is a fully integrated electric strike engineered for access control and security integration in commercial, institutional, and industrial environments. Unlike field-assembled strikes requiring external components or custom wiring, this complete unit arrives fully configured and ready to wire into standard control circuits. For integrators managing dozens of door access points, that self-contained design cuts deployment time and eliminates integration variables.
Key Features
- Dual Voltage (12V / 24V DC): Operates on either standard voltage without modification or jumper changes, matching your existing control circuit. Retrofit projects particularly benefit—no power supply redesign needed if your panel already supports either rail.
- Complete Electromechanical Assembly: All strike components integrated into a single housing. Reduces failure points and speeds installation compared to strikes requiring external solenoids, relays, or timing modules.
- Industry-Standard Control Interface: Plug-and-play compatibility with common access control wiring protocols. Works with leading platforms without custom adapters or bridge circuits—typical for modern panel outputs.
- Straightforward Installation: Designed for integrators familiar with standard door frame geometry. No field programming, firmware updates, or network configuration required.
- Indoor Deployment: Suitable for controlled-environment applications including office buildings, data centers, hospitals, educational facilities, and warehouse access points. Not rated for outdoor exposure; install in sheltered door frames or vestibules.
- Retrofit-Friendly Form Factor: Drop-in replacement for legacy strikes on 12V or 24V systems. Reduces project scope when upgrading access control at existing facilities.
Integration & Compatibility
The 5000C-LBM integrates directly into any access control system outputting standard 12V or 24V DC control voltage. No intermediate relay, power conditioner, or field-wired interface module is required. This simplicity is its strength: fewer components mean fewer points of failure and faster commissioning. However, verify your control panel's strike output can sink the required current; undersized outputs will not reliably energize the strike. Most modern access panels support strike loads, but older or heavily loaded systems should be checked before deployment.
Because the unit is self-contained, compatibility depends on your wiring and control voltage availability, not on proprietary integrations. Whether your system uses Honeywell, Salto, Kaba, or other mainstream access platforms, the 5000C-LBM will function if the voltage and current specs match.
Typical Applications
- Commercial office buildings with perimeter and tenant-door access control
- Data centers, server rooms, and network equipment enclosures requiring discrete door strikes
- Educational institutions (schools, universities) with high-volume controlled-entry requirements
- Healthcare facilities managing restricted-access zones without complex system dependencies
- Warehouse and logistics facilities with tiered security levels on dock doors and equipment rooms
- Retrofit and modernization projects where compatibility with existing 12V/24V infrastructure is critical
When to Choose a Different Model
If you require outdoor door-strike capability, high-traffic fail-safe certification, or integrated monitoring feedback (e.g., door-open sensors or strike-energized status reporting), consider consulting the broader access control hardware category for certified outdoor-rated or monitored-strike variants from the same manufacturer. For extremely high-traffic applications requiring mechanical fail-secure performance guarantees, verify strike duty cycle ratings against your facility's expected lock/unlock frequency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 5000C-LBM require a separate power supply?
A: No. The strike operates directly from your access control panel's 12V or 24V output. As long as your panel can supply sufficient current to the strike load, no external supply is needed.
Q: Can I use the 5000C-LBM outdoors?
A: No. This strike is rated for indoor installation only. Outdoor or high-moisture environments require weather-sealed or stainless-steel strikes; consult the broader access control catalog for outdoor-rated alternatives.
Q: Is the 5000C-LBM compatible with my existing access control system?
A: If your system outputs 12V or 24V DC and can source the required current, yes. The strike uses standard electromechanical actuation with no proprietary electronics. Verify with your panel documentation or commissioning engineer before ordering.
Q: What's the typical response time after the strike receives voltage?
A: Standard electromechanical strikes actuate in milliseconds. Exact timing depends on your panel's relay output speed and strike solenoid characteristics; consult the product datasheet for precise hold and release times.
Q: Can the 5000C-LBM be retrofitted into an existing door frame?
A: Yes, provided the frame geometry matches standard strike cutouts and your existing wiring runs to the door location. Measure the frame and existing strike opening before ordering to confirm fit.

The 5000C-LBM is a straightforward, no-nonsense strike for integrators who want one less variable in the field. A fully integrated unit eliminates the nuisance of sourcing separate solenoids, relays, and timing modules—everything is already wired inside the housing. That matters when you're pushing a retrofit across fifty doors and your timeline is tight.
Technical Highlights:
- Dual Voltage Operation (12V / 24V DC): No jumpers, no configuration. The strike accepts either voltage directly from your panel's output rail. In retrofit scenarios, this flexibility saves redesigning power infrastructure or replacing legacy panels.
- Self-Contained Assembly: No external solenoids or relay modules to source, mount, or wire. Complete integration reduces installation labor and failure points—fewer connections mean fewer points of intermittent contact or corrosion.
- Standard DC Control Interface: Direct compatibility with any access panel outputting 12V or 24V. No proprietary signaling, no network dependency. Works with Honeywell, Kaba, Salto, or any mainstream access control system.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your access panel's strike output can supply the required current. Undersized or heavily loaded outputs will cause sluggish or failed actuation. A quick panel spec review prevents field callbacks.
- Indoor-rated only. Do not install in vestibules, exterior alcoves, or high-moisture areas. Weather exposure will degrade solenoid seals and electrical contacts. Outdoor installations need a certified outdoor-rated strike.
The 5000C-LBM is the right choice for indoor commercial and institutional retrofit projects where you need dependable electromechanical actuation, existing 12V or 24V infrastructure, and minimal commissioning overhead. It's not a networked smart strike—it's a solid mechanical solution that doesn't require integration expertise to deploy successfully.
