HES RP-23 Radius Faceplate
The HES RP-23 is a finishing component engineered specifically for HES electric strike systems. This radius faceplate bridges the gap between functional access control hardware and professional interior aesthetics — a detail that matters when you're standardizing appearance across dozens of doors in a corporate, institutional, or industrial facility.
Key Features
- Radius Faceplate Design: Accommodates curved door frame profiles without gaps or binding. Ensures consistent contact and sealing across frame variations typical in retrofit installations where frame geometry varies by floor or building age.
- Compatible with HES Electric Strike Hardware: Engineered to mount directly to HES electric strike systems without modification. Eliminates adapter plates or field fabrication — reduces installation time and labor cost.
- Professional Finish: Delivers a polished, standardized appearance across all access points. Matters in environments where visitor perception and facility image are factors — corporate lobbies, healthcare facilities, educational institutions.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand repeated use in high-traffic access control environments. The radius faceplate resists deformation and surface wear typical in facilities with thousands of door cycles per day.
- Standard Door Frame Integration: Works with common architectural door frame profiles without requiring special framing or jamb modifications. Simplifies specification and procurement when rolling out multi-building access control standardization.
- Easy Installation: Mounts directly to HES strike hardware using standard fasteners. No special tools or proprietary alignment procedures — field technicians unfamiliar with the system can install it without rework cycles.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
The RP-23 is most valuable in multi-building or campus-wide deployments where you're standardizing on HES electric strike hardware and need visual consistency. Educational institutions rolling out access control across dormitories, office buildings, and laboratory spaces benefit from a single faceplate SKU. Corporate facility teams managing retrofit access control upgrades use the RP-23 to hide strike hardware variations and present a finished appearance without custom metalwork. Warehouse and industrial facilities with controlled access points use it to reduce perception of temporary or makeshift hardware, which can undermine facility security culture. Healthcare facilities deploying restricted-access corridors benefit from the professional finish — it signals institutional care rather than emergency modification.
When to Consider a Different Approach
If your door frames require faceplate styles other than radius (such as square-edged or mortise geometry), consult the broader HES product family for alternative faceplate profiles. If you need faceplate finishes beyond standard professional (such as ADA-compliant textured surfaces or specialized corrosion-resistant coatings), confirm finish availability with HES specifications before procurement. The RP-23 is a passive finishing component — it does not add functionality to the strike itself, so it cannot solve problems related to strike release timing, fail-safe vs. fail-secure operation, or electrical integration. Address those requirements through the strike specification and integration design.
