Hes 10620444 Electric Strike Fail Safe

Product Description

The HANCHETT ENTRY SYSTEMS / HES 10620444 is a complete fail safe electric strike designed for access control applications in commercial and institutional door hardware installations. Fail safe operation means the strike releases and allows free egress when power is removed, making it suitable for doors that must remain unlocked during a power failure or emergency condition. This unit ships as a complete assembly, reducing the need for separately sourced components. It is typically installed by licensed locksmiths, access control technicians, or low-voltage electricians working within door frame hardware on wood or hollow metal door frames.

The 10620444 is intended for use in electric strike access control systems where fail safe unlocking behavior is required by code or design specification. Typical applications include commercial office entries, stairwell doors, and institutional facilities where life-safety egress requirements mandate that doors default to the unlocked position upon loss of power. The complete assembly format supports straightforward field installation without additional sub-component sourcing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith, access control technician, or low-voltage electrician.

Consult local building and fire codes, including applicable requirements for egress hardware, before specifying fail safe versus fail secure operation. Follow the manufacturer data sheet for dimensional cutout requirements and wiring termination procedures.
