Hes 10270051 Latch Guard Electric Strike Accessory

Product Description

The HANCHETT ENTRY SYSTEMS / HES 10270051 is a latch guard designed to protect and secure the latch bolt area on doors equipped with electric strike hardware. Latch guards reinforce the door edge around the strike cutout, reducing vulnerability to forced-entry attempts and mechanical wear. This component is used by locksmiths, security system integrators, and access control technicians as part of a complete electric strike installation or upgrade. The 10270051 is sold as a single unit and is intended for professional installation in commercial or institutional door hardware applications.

Latch guards in this category are typically installed on the frame-side or door-edge face of hollow metal or wood doors where an electric strike has been fitted. They are common in commercial buildings, multifamily residential properties, and institutional facilities where door hardware is subject to repeated cycling and must meet security and durability standards. A licensed locksmith or door hardware professional will evaluate the door preparation and frame conditions before selecting the appropriate latch guard profile.
