HES 5300C-630 Electric Strike Kit for Cylindrical Locksets
The HES 5300C-630 is a complete electric strike solution purpose-built for cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch throw depth. This kit eliminates the need to source strike, brackets, and fasteners separately — all components arrive coordinated for both retrofit and new construction deployments. If your facility is running a phased access control upgrade or mixing system architectures across buildings, the 5300C-630's dual support for monitored and standalone controllers means you won't need multiple strike models cluttering your parts inventory.
Key Features
- 5/8 inch throw depth compatibility: Matches standard cylindrical lock throw dimensions without frame modification. This matters for retrofit projects because cutting or grinding door frames to accommodate a deeper strike introduces structural risk, cost overruns, and inspection headaches. The 5300C-630 integrates directly into existing geometry.
- Complete kit assembly: Strike, brackets, and fasteners ship as a coordinated unit. You avoid the integration risk that comes with sourcing components separately from different vendors — mismatched threads, wrong bracket offset, missing washers, all eliminated before installation.
- Standard cylindrical lock frame integration: Works with industry-standard cylindrical lock frames — the ubiquitous hollow-core or solid-core door hardware found in most office, retail, and institutional buildings. No custom adapters, no waiting for special-order hardware.
- Monitored and standalone system support: Integrates with both networked access control systems (enabling central audit logging and remote unlock capability) and standalone door controllers. Retrofit installations often span multiple system generations; this dual compatibility lets you deploy a single strike model across heterogeneous control architectures rather than stocking two.
- Retrofit and new construction rated: Engineered for integration into existing door assemblies and for specification on new builds. Retrofit capability is valuable when you cannot replace all hardware simultaneously — you can lock down critical areas first while planning the phased rollout for the remainder of the facility.
- Interior and commercial environment rating: Suitable for climate-controlled interior spaces — office buildings, retail environments, institutional facilities. The rating confirms this is not designed for outdoor doors or high-moisture areas like kitchens or washrooms. Before ordering, verify that humidity, temperature swing, and door traffic align with interior commercial expectations.
Integration & Compatibility
The 5300C-630 pairs with monitored access control systems for centralized logging and remote unlock, or standalone controllers for local, independent operation. Confirm that your control system supports the strike voltage and power envelope — HES strike kits typically source 12VDC or 24VDC from your access control power supply or a dedicated strike controller. Draw current during solenoid energization; verify your power supply budget before deployment.
Measure frame and threshold geometry on site during the planning phase. While the 5/8 inch throw depth covers the vast majority of cylindrical locks, door frames occasionally exceed this due to modifications or non-standard installation. If the existing throw depth exceeds 5/8 inch, the latch may not fully retract — a failure mode that could compromise access control and create a support emergency. Request detailed frame measurements and photographs during the site survey.
The kit is rated for interior, commercial-grade environments. Outdoor doors, high-moisture areas (kitchens, washrooms), or heavy-traffic warehouse environments may require exterior-rated hardware or more robust strike assemblies. Consult the broader HES electric strike family for exterior-rated alternatives if your deployment includes exterior or high-moisture doors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the HES 5300C-630 work with existing cylindrical locksets?
A: Yes. The 5300C-630 is engineered specifically for cylindrical locks with 5/8 inch throw depth. It integrates with standard cylindrical lock frames without replacing the lock or frame, making it ideal for retrofit scenarios where hardware replacement would be cost-prohibitive or disruptive.
Q: Can I use the 5300C-630 in a retrofit installation?
A: Yes. The kit is rated for both retrofit and new construction. Retrofit capability is valuable for phased security upgrades where you cannot replace all hardware simultaneously or when working within budget cycles that span multiple fiscal periods.
Q: Does the 5300C-630 integrate with networked access control systems?
A: Yes. The 5300C-630 supports both monitored (networked) access control systems and standalone controllers. Confirm that your control system or door controller supports the strike voltage and power requirements — typically 12VDC or 24VDC.
Q: What environments is the 5300C-630 rated for?
A: The kit is rated for interior, commercial use — office buildings, retail, institutional facilities. It is not designed for outdoor doors or high-moisture areas. If your deployment includes exterior doors or washrooms, consult the HES product family for exterior-rated alternatives.
Q: Do I need to modify the door frame to install the 5300C-630?
A: No. The 5/8 inch throw depth matches standard cylindrical lock frames. Frame modification is not required, which reduces installation cost and avoids structural complications during retrofit projects.
Q: What comes in the kit?
A: The 5300C-630 is a complete assembly containing the strike, mounting brackets, and fasteners. You do not need to source components separately, which reduces procurement time and integration risk.

The 5300C-630 addresses a real integration problem: you're retrofitting a multi-building facility with mixed access control architectures, and sourcing the wrong strike variant for each building means double inventory and installation delays. The 5300C-630 eliminates that friction because it supports both monitored and standalone systems from a single SKU, and the complete kit assembly removes the procurement risk of mismatched brackets or fasteners.
Technical Highlights:
- 5/8 inch throw depth: Eliminates frame modification, reducing retrofit cost and installation timeline. Measure on site to confirm — non-standard door assemblies occasionally exceed this depth.
- Complete kit assembly: Strike, brackets, and fasteners coordinated in one shipment reduces integration risk and avoids the classic failure mode of sourcing components separately from different vendors.
- Dual control system support: Works with both networked access control (for audit logging and remote unlock) and standalone controllers (for local, independent operation) — a real advantage when retrofitting facilities with heterogeneous systems.
Deployment Considerations:
- Frame geometry varies, particularly in older buildings or facilities with prior modifications. Measure throw depth on site before ordering — a mismatch means latch won't fully retract, triggering an emergency unlock call and possible security compromise.
- Interior and commercial rating only — outdoor doors or high-moisture areas (kitchens, washrooms) require different hardware. Audit the full door schedule before placing the order.
- Confirm voltage and power availability from your control system or dedicated strike controller before installation. Typical draw is 12VDC or 24VDC sourced from your access control power supply.
The 5300C-630 is your go-to choice for mid-to-large retrofit projects where frame geometry is standard, control systems are mixed, and you need to reduce parts inventory and procurement headaches. If you're specifying for new construction and all doors will use the same control system, evaluate whether a simpler or more specialized strike variant might lower cost. But for messy real-world retrofits, the 5300C-630's flexibility justifies the SKU.
