HES AM3330 Additional Header Wall Plate 600 Series
The AM3330 is a mounting bracket accessory engineered to support header-mounted installations of HES 600 Series magnetic locks. This wall plate provides the structural foundation needed when deploying single magnetic locks across multiple door openings or expanding an existing access control system without replacing installed infrastructure.
Key Features
- 600 Series Compatibility: Purpose-built for HES 600 Series single magnetic lock hardware — meaning you won't need additional adapter plates or engineering workarounds when integrating this component into your existing lock ecosystem.
- Wall-Mounted Header Installation: Designed for standard header-mounted deployments on doorframes — the most common orientation in commercial and institutional facilities where the lock sits above the door and pulls directly against the frame.
- Supports Multi-Door Expansion: Allows facility managers to add locks to additional door locations incrementally without redesigning the entire access control layout — cost-effective for phased rollouts across warehouses, secure storage areas, or office suites.
- Standard Wall Mounting Hardware: Uses conventional fastening methods compatible with drywall, concrete, and wood substrates — qualified technicians can install without specialty tools or specialized training.
- Replacement and Supplementary Applications: Works as both a direct replacement for worn header plates on existing 600 Series installations and as an add-on component for new door openings.
- Indoor Rated for Standard Environments: Designed for climate-controlled interiors — not rated for outdoor exposure, corrosive atmospheres, or high-moisture zones. Verify location conditions before specification.
Integration & Compatibility
The AM3330 integrates with HES magnetic lock controllers and power supplies using standard electrical wiring and mounting attachment points. Installation is straightforward when working alongside compatible HES 600 Series locks and controller systems. The accessory is suitable for facility expansions where integrators are adding locks to new door locations within existing access control infrastructure. For multi-door deployments requiring coordinated lock control across multiple openings, pair the AM3330 with an appropriate access control panel or controller sized for your door count and reader technology.
Typical Applications
- Commercial office suite expansions requiring additional secure entry points
- Warehouse and storage facility access control scaling
- Institutional building renovations adding locks to new openings
- Multi-tenant or multi-floor deployments with phased lock installations
- Direct replacement of damaged or worn header mounting plates on existing 600 Series systems
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the AM3330 be used on any door orientation or only header-mounted applications?
A: The AM3330 is specifically engineered for header-mounted installations — the most common configuration for single magnetic locks. Frame-mounted or other non-standard orientations may require different mounting accessories from the HES 600 Series lineup.
Q: Does the AM3330 include wiring or does it mount-only?
A: The AM3330 is a structural mounting plate. Electrical wiring, control signaling, and power connections are handled separately through your access control controller and power supply — the plate itself provides only mechanical support.
Q: Is the AM3330 suitable for outdoor or high-moisture environments?
A: No. The AM3330 is rated for standard indoor environments only. Outdoor, high-humidity, or corrosive-atmosphere deployments require different hardware — consult HES documentation for weather-rated alternatives.
Q: What substrate materials can the AM3330 be mounted to?
A: Standard construction substrates including drywall, concrete, and wood framing using conventional fastening hardware. Verify load capacity and substrate integrity before installation.

The AM3330 is a straightforward structural component — no intelligence or electronics embedded, which means compatibility risk is minimal. The real question isn't whether it will work, but whether you need it at all and whether the 600 Series single lock architecture fits your door count.
Technical Highlights:
- Header Mount Form Factor: Standard above-door mounting means lock pulls directly against the frame header with gravity assisting the hold force — ideal for entry doors where traffic is moderate to high.
- 600 Series Lock Pairing: Single magnetic lock architecture keeps wiring and control simpler than multi-lock configurations, but also means each door opening requires its own controller input and wiring run.
- Indoor-Only Specification: No IP or IK rating — do not deploy this in loading docks, exterior vestibules, or humid storage areas without protective enclosure.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify substrate load-bearing capacity before mounting — concrete and wood studs handle this plate easily, but drywall-only installations without backing require additional reinforcement.
- The AM3330 is a mounting plate only — confirm your access control controller, power supply, and wiring infrastructure are already sized for each additional lock you add.
- Multi-door deployments using this plate will require separate controller inputs and relay circuits per lock — don't assume you can daisy-chain doors on a single controller channel.
Use the AM3330 when you have existing 600 Series infrastructure and are adding 1–3 additional secure doors within the same facility or building section. Beyond that, a larger lock ecosystem (like HES 700 or 900 Series) typically offers better scalability and fewer wiring complications.
