HES 10180601 1006-103 DFM Fullkeeper Shim
When installing electric strikes in metal door frames with misaligned or oversized keeper cutouts, standard strikes often leave gaps that compromise security and fail inspection. The HES 1006-103 DFM Fullkeeper Shim provides a precision solution for rehabilitating problematic frame prep without welding or replacing the entire frame, letting you complete installations that would otherwise require costly remediation.
Key Features
- Designed specifically for use with HES 1006 series electric strikes in metal door frames
- DFM (Dura Frame Mount) construction fills oversized or damaged keeper cutouts
- Fullkeeper design provides complete coverage around the strike keeper opening
- Eliminates security gaps caused by poor frame preparation or previous strike removal
- Allows proper strike installation without frame modification or replacement
- Compatible with standard HES 1006 series strike mounting configurations
Frame preparation issues are among the most common obstacles in electric strike retrofits. When removing old strikes or working with frames that were cut incorrectly, you're often left with openings that exceed the keeper dimensions of your new strike. The 1006-103 shim addresses this by providing a secure mounting surface that bridges the gap between your HES 1006 strike and the oversized frame cutout. This is particularly valuable in retrofit scenarios where the previous strike used different keeper dimensions, or when frame damage has compromised the original cutout integrity.
Installation is straightforward—the shim mounts to the frame first, creating a properly-sized keeper opening for the 1006 series strike to mount against. This approach maintains the strike's specified security ratings while avoiding the time and expense of frame welding or replacement. For integrators managing access control retrofits in older buildings or correcting substandard prep work, this shim turns potential project delays into routine installations.
